Any work with electrical wiring requires at least basic knowledge and a little experience. This will avoid the most common mistakes that are often encountered by beginners.
These include:
- Before you begin wiring, you should draw up a detailed layout of the wires. Keeping the plan in mind is not practical, since in the process of work you can easily forget some important detail. It is she who can greatly affect the result;
- Purchasing poor quality materials. Replacing wiring is not an area where the desire to save will be appropriate. Low grade materials can cause a number of problems, including a short circuit. Therefore, components should only be from a reliable manufacturer and have all the certificates;
- When calculating, you must always take an additional 25% of the power into the reserve. Even if the room is planned for only one outlet and a light bulb, it is better to play it safe and purchase more expensive and powerful elements. It is likely that after some time in the room there will be devices that consume more energy than originally planned. Subsequently, this can lead to a short circuit, because the system simply will not have time to cope with the loads;
- Incorrect wiring. Some people, trying to save money, arrange the wires in a diagonal direction, which is strictly prohibited. According to the rules, they must be held in horizontal and vertical arrangement. This is due to the fact that the likelihood of damage to improperly placed items during repair increases significantly;
- All work should be carried out only in the absence of tension. There should be no excuses in this matter, because it is not only about comfort, but also about health and even life. Therefore, it is better to spend several minutes preparing to carry out all the actions in complete safety. First you need to de-energize the room, then check the voltage level with a multimeter and only then do the necessary work.
In conclusion, it is worth recalling that the junction boxes should be in a place where small children's handles will not reach. Along with this, it is necessary to ensure free access to them during the repair. If a blackout occurs, you should avoid all kinds of obstacles such as wallpaper and other decoration.
