How to assemble the electrical panel ↑
If You are wiring in a wooden house or apartment,let’s calculate the number of machines, their power and purpose:
- For apartments the necessary two-pole AV (automatic switch)25A for input – 1pc, and private homes where the power is supplied from 3-phase network three – phase AV to 40A;

After berkelycaresm setcapability shtroblenie walls under the wiring, or the installation of cable in cable channel or ripple directly on the walls of the room depending on the chosen method of wiring cable.
Shtroblenie walls ↑
Grooves is a special ditches (grooves) in the wall prorezalsya with the help of special tools (cone-machine or chasers with industrial vacuum cleaner) in the cases when the installation of a covert elektroprovodnoi any other services (water supply, Internet, telephone, Sewerage etc.).

To start the routed cable (wire) – in corrugations, and then use special clamps fasten it to the walls of the wooden house or apartment.
As a result, one end of the wiring in the corrugation will be points where you need to be connected, and the second at the installation location of the electric panel.
How to connect the wires? ↑
Very often «electricians-lovers» connect the wiring harness using a twist. This is a gross mistake and a violation of all the rules of electrical safety.

This can be done only in the case if your house is concrete walls. - For lighting you want to apply a safe voltage.Of course in 90% of cases this item was not respected and the lighting is powered from a fixed AC source voltage of 220V.To resolve this violation, you need to redo the power supply circuit of the bathroom and install outdoor step-down transformer 220/12V.
