During repair or construction, real estate owners often have to drill or gouge walls. A need may arise, for example, if necessary, hang the TV on the wall or conduct new wiring. Quite often, the consequence of such actions is a damaged electrical wiring of the room. Consider how to work with a punch on the surface of the wall and ceiling of a room so as not to damage the electrical wire.
The walls of the room are more predictable in terms of cable layout. It is enough to take as a basis generally accepted standards and logical thinking. Often, the cable line is parallel to the ceiling at a distance of about 15 cm from it. If there is an electric point in the wall, the cable goes down to it from the main channel at a right angle.
In order not to damage the wires during the use of the power tool, the location of junction boxes, sockets, switches and electrical panels should be established. Over each of the detected nodes in most cases a cable will be located. In order not to damage it, you should avoid any action in that area of the wall surface.
Installation of a chandelier also requires extreme caution in the process of gating. When determining the location of the old wire, the following features should be considered:
- Often in panel-type houses, wiring is laid in places of voids. Before chipping a surface, you should slightly dig it out to understand the direction of the wire.
- Monolithic overlapping involves laying wiring from top to bottom.
- If the work is carried out in a private house, then the laying of wires, as a rule, is carried out according to the same principle as in panel buildings.
When it is not possible to independently determine the location of the wiring, then you should not risk it. The best solution is to use a special electric detector. Such a device can be purchased, rented or even made independently.
Violation of the wiring existing in the walls during the gating process can be a rather big problem. If the room is equipped with protective automation, then the result of such an incident will be a break in the transmission line and its forthcoming repair. However, if the security system in the house is not provided, such a contact can result in a significant electric shock to humans.
