HOW TO INSTALLING THE HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

Installation in homes should be done by a professional or a person who understands the intricacies of power such as the contractor installers who are used to connect electrical appliances for household needs. However there is no harm if we as homeowners know about how to assemble electrical installations in the home, because it is mandatory to learn especially when now many resources that we can get easily.

To become an expert in the field of electricity needs to be a strong determination and patience, should if we want to learn learned first electric let simple things little by little.

Before we proceed to the next lesson should be learned first few electrical appliances in the house that is not one of the pairs as below:

switch

cable

plug

Tips to Prevent Electrical Fire Hazards Due to short circuit

Prevention is better than cure, the adage applies to electricity. Before going on things like unwanted fire accident happens to you, we should do the precautions as described below:

We recommend that you submit the installation of 1 houses / buildings you on installers. Legally installer has the responsibility for security installations.

2 Try to avoid piling plug or power jack too much in one place (outlet) for the connection as it will continue to accumulate heat that can ultimately lead to electrical short circuit.

3 Use of electrical equipment that meets ISO standards and the right size.

4 Use the fuse is still good and replace it with a new fuse broken, do not try to connect a fuse with the fiber wire.

5. Take care of electrical installations periodically to determine if there is damage to the electrical equipment such as wires or insulation that is open on the connection. if possible replace all the installation path once every five years.

Step 6: Use the appropriate cable type and size designation and current-carrying capacity.

7 In the event of a fire due to electrical short circuit due to safety Mini circuit breaker (MCB) is not functioning properly, turn off the power immediately from KWH meters. Do not flush with water when the source of the fire is still no electric current.

8 If you need a new electrical connection to legally list the agency concerned, not from illegal sources.

Keep in mind that the short-circuit or short circuit is direct contact between the positive and negative wires are usually accompanied by sparks, and the sparks that triggered the fire. Agency concerned has installed MCB kWh and integrated with OA Kast which serves as a barrier when usage exceeds the load capacity as well as a safety when a short circuit occurs.

Things to Look For When Installing Electrical Wiring in the Home

Perhaps many of the readers who have expertise in the electrical installation at home despite only limited autodidact (self study). Errors in the installation of electrical installation guidelines are paying less attention to the dangers at risk, such as common is a fire.

To avoid the risk of installation errors would be helpful to consider the preparation before installation and after installation, in this case we have to double check whether the installation is correct or not before we circulate electricity.


Preparation before installation.

1. materials
Should use materials or electrical equipment that suits your needs, you should use SNI. For example, for the size of the wires on the main line using size 2.5 mm or above, and using a single cable (not fibers) for the entire electrical pathway.

2 Equipment / tools work
Complete tool for electrical installation in accordance with the needs, for example: +/- screwdriver, pliers combination, isolation, hammer, tespen, and others. Thus we will have no trouble in doing all types of electrical work.

3 Complete tool ancillary equipment will be installed
for example, use clamps for cabling on wood / ceiling, insulation for electrical wires,

4 Prepare ourselves.
Make sure you study carefully about the electrical installation techniques, better if we draw scheme results / electric lines to be installed, so that we will have no trouble when going to install it later.

5 Use an assistant.
If possible ask for help from others to accompany us during setup, it's easier when we need the help of which we can not do alone. Before doing work at home make sure the power is turned off.

reexamination

When we have completed the installation of electrical installations in the home, preferably before restarting the flow of electricity, check the entire repeat the results of our work, for example:

     Check each connection whether cable is securely and correctly.
     make sure the positive cable through the switch to the light fittings.
     Do not get confused between the positive cable, negative or grounding / earthing.

HOW EXCHANGE SWITCHES stringing

Exchange switch or a lot of people call it by name: switch hotel, switch hall, staircase switch, is a series of electrical installations with the principle of "control of one or several lamps by two switches", point is that we can turn on and off the lights with two switches independently , for example, we put a light on an area of ​​the stairs, and then we put two switches for the lights, the position of the switch is placed in the bottom of the stairs while the switch is again placed in the top of the stairs, while we're on the bottom and then turn on the lights with a switch that is under then we walked up the stairs then to turn it off does not need to go down to the bottom of the ladder again but just turn it off by using the switch located at the top of the stairs. For more details, please refer to the explanation below:

equipment:

     combination pliers
     screwdriver min and plus
     hammer
     cutter knife

Ingredients:

     Long power cord ........ tailored to the needs.
     Special insulating power ............................................... 1 piece .......
     Exchange switch ................................................ ................ 2 pieces
     Light fittings ................................................ ................ 1 piece
     lights ................................................. ........................ 1 piece

Stringing ways:

     Connect the mains cable to the switch terminals 1, then connected to the master switch terminal 2
     connect one of the terminals on switch 1, to one switch terminal 2, then connect the positive cable to the main line of electrical installations in the home.
     Attach the cable to the switch terminal 1, which is then connected to the other switch terminal 2, other then connect to one of the terminals on the light fittings.
     light fittings that connect the other terminal to the negative cable main line of electrical installations in the home.

ONE SWITCH, FOR THREE LIGHT

Using a switch to turn on and turn off a few lights and is one practical way in a circuit, this circuit is useful for use in a large room such as a hall, synagogue, or convention center, but did not rule also installed in the family room. The principle of this circuit is to turn off all the lights by the switch alone.

In this post I will just give an example of how to create a circuit switch for the electrical installation of the three lamps only, if you want to use more than three lights then just dial only from one of the lights are already on the switch. For more details please learn a series of drawings and description.

equipment:

     combination pliers
     screwdriver plus
     monyong pliers / pliers crocodile

Ingredients:

     NYM cable lengths 2X1,5mm size adjusted to the needs.
     Insulation for electrical wiring
     Three light fittings
     single switch

Caption:

     +: Positive cable from the main line of electrical installations
     -: Negative cable from the main line of electrical installations
     G: Cable grounding
     S: single switch
     L1, L2, L3: Lights

ways stringing

     To avoid the danger of electric shock should be turned off before the MCB.
     Connect the positive cable from the main line with one of the electrical installation to use your switch cable connectors are black,
     Combine one of the connectors of each light fittings using black cable and then connect the connector to the switch that is not connected everywhere.
     Connect the connector fittings third light (which is not connected to cable everywhere negatis main line electrical installations).
     Close all connections using isolation to avoid short circuit or short circuit.

If the circuit is mounted then re-check whether all connections are correct, if it is correct then it's time to try, plug in the lights and turn on the third MCB fittings, try to play the third switch if the lights are controlled by a single switch? when it is the making of the series successful.
(* In the picture above circuit grounding wires are unused because the cables are generally installed at the outlet, I just complete it to the reader to know that in addition to the negative and positive wires there is also cable grounding / earthing)

How to connect stranded cable CABLE WITH SINGLE

Splicing fiber cables with a single cable is rare and so far I have not heard about the connection, but sometimes we are forced or trapped in the situation, there are several factors that can cause the cord connecting the two different types made ​​such as: because cost limitations, may of us want to use the existing cable (former but still good), indeed it is legitimate for both the cable has to have clear specifications such as size and standardization

According to my experience there are several requirements that must be met if we are going to connect two different cables, namely:

     Minimum cable diameter size equal or similar to facilitate the process of rolling the cable.
     The cable used has a standard ISO and SPLN
     Used for branching cables, for example for the lights and switches.
     Correct way of connecting the cable that has the following requirements: a strong, far-flung distances with other connections, coated insulation.


Perhaps the way I explain this is rarely found in guide books electrical installation because it is the result of personal experience I am actually less fit if a single cable with a cable spliced ​​fibers because both are different types of cables, single cable used for electrical installations on the main line and its ramifications and the fact that a single cable commonly installed stationary in one place, while the fiber cable is commonly used on electronic equipment or that its use could roll the cable move.

Sometimes we are confused how to connect a single cable with stranded cable, various methods are used, but still, the results are less satisfactory, some effects of the cable connecting the less fit are:
- Easy connection release.
- Cable fibers easily break, especially on the part closest to the connection.
- An electric current that passes through the connection often dropped out and disconnected.
Perhaps of things that seeprti then I tried to find a way how to keep a wired connection does not pose a problem, for those who encounter problems in connecting cables with different types then please follow the steps and tricks that I've ever done.


Before you dial the cable would be nice if we first prepare the necessary equipment such as:
- Fiber cable
- A single cable
- Combination pliers
- Special insulation for electrical wiring

How to connect:
1. prepare both ends of the cable to be spliced ​​fiber cable and single cable then peeled coating (insulator) on the second cable to the existing copper wires visible inside 2-4cm.pilinlah roughly along the fiber cable in order to converge to facilitate the process grafting. hold both wires so it looks like side by side, in this position the location of the second parallel cable.

2.wrap the cable fibers in a single cable so that the coil covering half of a single cable
3. pull and bend the fiber cable until it is located opposite to the single cable.
4.wrap the rest of the cable is not twisted single fiber cable that can cover the winding single cable and single cable fiber cable itself.
5. in this way the connection is more powerful and well-connected, to keep the connection does not harm us then seal the connection with insulation.

With a few guidelines as above grafting may be able to answer questions that often arise when we want to connect a different cable types between fiber cables with a single cable.

HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION Appliances

Outlet
Is the electrical interface between the plug terminal electronic device with electrical installations, there is also a mention of this tool by the name "jack". There are two types of outlet, namely: inbow and outbow, inbow type of outlet is installed or planted in the wall outlet while outbow is the type of outlet that is mounted on the outside wall.

MCB
Is a means of connecting the electric current and the breaker in the house, its function is:

     breaker excess electricity consumption in the home that exceeds the ability of the MCB.

     prevent fires caused by electrical short circuit, MCB will automatically cut off electricity to the house when the surge.


KWH (kilo watt hour) recording devices is power consumption, there are two types of KWH, namely:

     Analog KWH, KWH which is kind of the first generation that records electricity consumption, at KWH there are numbers that can be rotated according to the amount of electricity usage, with this type of konsumenakan pay the electric bill money every bulanhnya fit the data recorded on the kwh.
     Digital KWH, which is kawh out after analog KWH, KWH will indicate the numbers of unused electricity tokens after diidi by electrical pulses previously, this type is also called prepaid KWH, that every consumer who uses this type of KWH of electricity that must fill pulse electricity can continue to flow into the house.


cable clamps

Fuses / Fuse
Is a tool breaker or electrical connector, useful for avoiding the occurrence of a short circuit, the fuse will break up if there is a short circuit / short circuit between wires are electrically positive with negative electrically charged wires, There are two commonly used types of fuse envelope sender address on electrical installations in the home are:

     Automatic fuse, the fuse is the type that works with two plates (bimetal), it will heat the bimetal short-circuit in the event of a second later the bimetal will break away from each other so that electric current flowing in the second plate, this fuse may work back flow of electric current when cable short-circuit has been repaired.
     Manual fuse, the fuse is made ​​of a wire that is stored in the ceramics, when a short circuit occurs, the wire will heat up and burn to drop out then cut off the flow of electricity, this type of fuse can only use disposable, so when dropped must be replaced with a new

single cable
Is the type of cable in which there is a single cable that is rather stiff with a diameter varying, generally mounted to the electrical installation electrical installations on the main line and the ramifications such as cables to electrical outlets, switches, and lights.

stranded cable
Is the type of cable in which consists of several wires, feels supple / flexible, usually used for connecting cables from the electronic device to a wall outlet.

HOW TO CORRECT ELECTRICAL TERMINAL ROLL

The increasing number of electronic devices that we have made ​​the need for a wall outlet to grow, but this need not be balanced with the amount of available power outlet, while for installing new power lines that permanent was not possible.

That is why many people look for other, more practical alternatives without having to install or connect the cable, one is to buy a roll cable terminal. With this tool we simply connect the plug into an existing outlet in the house, then roll live retractable cord as needed and can be directly used.

Generally there are four outlet that is attached to a cable box and a roll indicator light will illuminate when power is connected from the plug to the cable.

Damage that often occurs on a roll of electrical terminals

     Total dead, electricity does not flow to the outlet terminal on the cable roll even though the plug has been plugged into a wall outlet, this can be seen with the extinction of the indicator lights are located on the cable near the terminal roll.
     Outlet at the terminal roll can not be used, but the indicator light,
     Supplied to the electrical terminals sometimes roll dead sometimes alive, it is characterized by the death of indicator light turns on and turns.

For more details on how to repair the damaged cable terminal roll please refer to the explanation below.

Total dead,

Electricity does not flow to the outlet terminal on the cable roll even though the plug has been plugged into a wall outlet, this can be seen with the extinction of the indicator lights are located on the cable near the terminal roll ..

How to fix;

1. Open an existing screw on the terminal and then separate outlet / outlet cover lift.
2. look at all parts contained in the cable box roll, if both cables are firmly connected to the terminal outlet? when plugged in then it is likely path to the plug wires from the terminal there are broken.
3. To determine whether the cable is broken or not, can be tested using testpen or AVO meters

With testpen:

1. insert the plug into the outlet, press the switch on the terminal roller to position "on"
2. insert the tip into the hole in the terminal testpen electric rollers, do this test in all holes.
3. If there are no holes that can turn tespen try to pull the plug and then insert the plug into an outlet with reversed position (rotated 180derajat),
4. Repeat the measuring terminals on a roll as before (point 2), when tespen still not illuminated, you can bet both wires breaking inside, but when tespen be lit on one luibang then only one cable is disconnected inside.

With Avo meter:

1. Disconnect the plug from the socket
2. Set the selector switch position on avo meter on a scale of 1 Kilo Ohm RX,
3. Paste one of the probes (measuring stick) on AVO meter to plug one finger while the other probe to one of the outlet hole
4. Cable is still good / connected will be indicated by the movement of the needle on the AVO meter in the right direction and still in zero.
5. while the cable is disconnected will be marked with no movement of the needle on the AVO meter.
6. Repeat the measurement sequence on the cable and plug the other outlet hole as above to determine whether the cable is disconnected as well or not.

How to find the location of the cable is disconnected without using testpen or AVO meter:

This method can only be done on breaking the cable side.

1. Insert the plug into the outlet
2. Turn on the power roller terminal by changing the position of the switch to the "on"
3. Begin to bend-bent wires start from the base of the plug to the cable end closest to the terminal box while
   location of the needle is still in the avo
   attention to the indicator lights on the terminal box roller.
4. When the bend-bent wires when the light turns on and off alternately in the cable means that we bend the cables are connected by bending breaking us,
5. Peel off the wrapper and check the cable where the cable is broken.
6. Having found where the wires are broken then connect the cable that broke up correctly
7. When the location of the cable that broke near the plug so as not to allow the plug to be connected then attach the new
   
   at the end of the cable.

If the above does not work then you can use the "original guess" which way is done by cutting the cable, this is done by way of a sequential manner, namely:

1.  Cut the cable with a length of approximately 50cm from the plug,
2. Measure the respective wires to the terminal box using AVO meter roll with RX 1Kohm,
   
3. Attach one probe to one of the cable while the other probe to one of the holes on the terminal power roller, a good cable is indicated by the movement of the needle to the right avo, sedamgkan cables breaking is indicated by no movement of the needle avo.
4. If the above test is still no wires are broken then do a second cutting by cutting along the 50cm cable and repeat testing at point 2 and point 3.
5. do the above test is not found again until the cable
   roll of electrical wires that have replaced the plug
   who dropped out, usually that cables that broke is the closest to the plug wires because the wires that move frequently pulled and stretched so that the cable can be dropped inside.
6. If you do not have the AVO meter to measure the cable then attach the new plug on the cord is cut and then connect the new plug in the wall socket and see the indicator light on the terminals of electric rollers, roller terminals when the power is on means that the cable is correct, but when the indicator light is off then disconnect plug and cut again along the 50cm cable and do a retest.

Outlet at the terminal roll can not be used, but the indicator light, and electricity flowing to the electrical terminals sometimes roll dead sometimes alive, it is characterized by the death of the indicator light turns on and turns.

How to fix:

1. Not the screw on the top of the terminal and then lift and turn the terminal so visible underneath.
2. Check the connection cable and plug finger clamp plate.
3. Clean the rust that is usually attached to the plate using sandpaper.
4. see also form if plate clamp plate clamp capable of clamping any plug that goes, if the plate looks loose then fix it by clamping pliers receipts.
5. If you do not have the tang then you can use the index finger and thumb to clamp the plate to return to its original position so as to clamp the plug finger.
6. Replace all components and then try connecting the power cord to the wall socket and roll Test it one electrical outlet on a roll with memasaukkan electronic appliance plug into the wall outlet, if the electronic equipment repair light means we can succeed.
