The electrical wiring of a wooden house has a number of features compared to wiring in houses made from other materials. This is due to the fact that a tree is an easily ignited material, and prevent the fire from the house from electrical wiring, the task of this article. Requirements for the installation of wiring in a wooden house are quite tough. First you need to decide how the supply of energy to the house will be organized, that is, how the cable from the power lines to the distributor shield will be laid, which will be in your house. The cable can be laid in two ways – air and underground. The first method is cheap, economical, does not require large financial investments. However, from the point of view of aesthetics, it looks ugly.
The second method will require more effort, but this method is more reliable and durable than the first. In this case, the cable is laid in trenches to a depth of about 80 cm., on a pillow of sand with a thickness of 10-15 cm. The cable is sprinkled with the same amount of sand, then it is covered with 50 cm soil on top. On top of the soil, you need to lay a warning tape, with the inscription “Do not dig, it is dangerous!””. Then completely close the trench with soil. For this method, an armored cable is used.
The supply of energy to the distribution shield provides an introductory cable. There are special devices in the camshaft, which are designed to distribute electricity over consumers and protect all electrolyte in the house. When mounting an electric system in the house, use shields with an open installation.
In a wooden house, wiring is carried out in two ways – overhead and hidden. With the overhead method, the wiring is located on the surface and is not closed with anything, with hidden, the wiring is located inside the structures of the house itself. The open method is reliable and safe, does not require great labor effort, most suitable for a country house. For such installation, non -combustible cable channels are used, made of PVC.
The hidden method of laying wires in wooden houses is carried out using non -combustible PVC boxes. The box is a rectangular profile, one of the surfaces of which is a removable. With this installation method, the desired cooling, free access and the ability to lay an additional cable in the box are provided for wiring.
