One of the most important stages of the completion of construction is the installation of electrical wiring in a wooden house. Due to the characteristics of the wooden structure, more stringent requirements are imposed on electrical communications than on electrical wiring in brick and monolithic buildings.
The best option would be to invite a qualified electrician and entrust him with the laying of electrical communications. First of all, the electrical wiring of a wooden house must meet the requirements of fire safety. Wood is a combustible material. Therefore, with special care you need to approach the selection of wires. Their insulation should be made of non-combustible material.
There are two ways to install wiring: hidden and open. The hidden method of laying wires is not acceptable for wooden buildings. The likelihood of fire in the event of a short circuit is too high, so the electrician in a wooden house is mounted only by the open method. For this, special cable channels are used in which the wires are laid. No twisting of wires is allowed. Special junction boxes and connectors must be used to connect sections of the circuit. They are made of special non-combustible material and do not allow heating of wires at the joints.
To carry out the installation of electrical wiring in a wooden house quickly and efficiently, you should take care of consumables in advance. First of all, you need to correctly calculate the cross-section of the wires. For this, the total power of all electrical appliances in the house is taken. The calculation is necessary in order to avoid damage to the wires as a result of excessive load. You should also take care of outlets and switches.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of protection elements. It is better if it will be circuit breakers, in terms of current, designed for 10-20 amperes. Power protection is calculated taking into account the cross-section of the wires and the nominal load on the network. In the event of a short circuit in the network, the "machines" will de-energize the damaged part of the network without affecting the rest of the wiring.
The entire protection system is mounted in one switchboard. This installation requires serious knowledge of electrical engineering and the amateur for this is better not to undertake. It will be more practical and safer to contact a qualified electrician. Only in this case, you can be sure that the electrical network will withstand all the loads, and all the devices will function properly.
