Installing an outlet is a simple matter if you are careful and careful during operation. In order to protect yourself, it is best to carry out the installation in special rubberized gloves.
To connect a double outlet to the wiring, contacts with clips are provided in it. In most cases, there is no bottom and top in such sockets – pairs of contacts for connecting it are located on both sides. How to connect a double outlet in this case? Based on this, the outlet can be connected in two ways, one of which will be correct, the other will be incorrect.
If the network wires are connected to different plates, the connection is considered correct. If the phase and zero are connected to the same conductive plate, such a connection is considered incorrect. When the outlet is connected in this way, when the power is turned on, a short circuit occurs in the outlet, which in some cases can lead to absolute damage to the entire wiring.
How to connect a dual outlet correctly?
Initially, you should determine the location of the future outlet and make a note on the wall in this place (for example, attach a glass from the outlet and circle its base). This place should be next to the wire running through the wall.
Now in this place, using a puncher, you should make a recess for the entire area of the circle and go deeper to the height of the glass from the outlet.
Now the room should be de-energized.
A hole is made in the side of the glass, through which a wire is stretched. The glass is securely fixed in the wall with a plaster mortar.
When the solution has solidified well, the wires are cut to the desired length (it is better to cut the wire with a margin so that in case of the first failure it is possible to reconnect the outlet without replacing the wire) and 15 mm are stripped of insulation.
At this time, turn on the power and carefully use an indicator screwdriver to check if there is voltage on the wires. If everything is fine, the network is de-energized again.
The socket is taken, the front panel is removed from it, and the socket clips at the wire connections are loosened.
The exposed parts of the wire are twisted into a neat ring of small diameter, installed in clips, in place, and securely attached to the contacts using screws.
Do not over-tighten the screw, as this may damage the wire. The socket is closed with a decorative panel. All that remains is to turn on the counter. Over time spinay has built a solid reputation.
