 Top 4 necessary things to do before wiring a house as a professional electrical engineer

Do you know that before you start to wire a house there are some important and necessary things that you must look at before wiring a house to ensure the safety of that particular house?


Yes, for all we need to be safe from damages and outbreaks is safety. In today’s article, we are going to show to you the most important things to figure out before you start any electrical wiring and these important thing that you must do are listed and explained below.


  1.  Know the type of wiring
  2. Choose a quality cable for the wiring
  3. Make sure you select the right cable  
  4. Choose the right circuit protective devices   


Know the type of wiring


One of the best thing every electrician or an electrical engineer must know before starting any electrical wiring is to know the types of wiring that he/she would be doing for their client or customers for the purpose to know how to go about the wiring and the necessary accessories that he/she would be required to make better wiring for their clients. 


Choose a quality cable for the wiring

One of the most important things that every engineer must know is to make sure that you select the best quality cable for every wiring that they would do. 

There are many quality cables available in the market nowadays that you can buy at a very affordable price for your client to do a very quality wiring that would really last and be safe from any outbreak or damage.  



Make sure you use the right cable 


 One great way to do proper and safe electrical wiring for your client is to make sure that the cable sizes that are required for a particular circuit system is be used the right way. 

For example, 2.5 cables should be used for normal socket systems but not for High rated current like 20Ampere cooker sockets, 1.5 cables are designed to be used for the lighting system of every electrical house/home wiring but not for socket systems or air conditioners systems.


One of the best reasons why every cable size must be used at its appropriate place in an electrical home wiring system is of their current carrying capacity.

 Note that, when cables are used wrongly in an electrical home wiring system, the final result or feedback that it would give you is a fire outbreak or excessive damage. So, make sure their users are at their appropriate place. There are so many cable sizes with their current carrying capacity and applications.



Choose the right home circuit protective devices


 One of the most essential devices that must be used in every electrical home wiring system is the low voltage circuit breaker. There are different types of low voltage circuit breakers that are available in the market with their various functions and their working principles. 

 

Make sure that you choose the right home wiring protective devices such as RCCB, RCB, and MCB.

 But nowadays, there are some quality home wiring distribution boards or consumer units or main switches that are fully made with RCB and MCB but the only thing to buy again for full circuit protection is the RCCB.

  Top 3 powerful categories of circuit breakers every electrical engineer/engineer must know before doing any electrical installation Before we start with our topic of the day, let us take a look at what circuit breakers or breakers are. What is a circuit breaker? circuit breakers are simply electrical protective device that trips off automatically whenever there is an available faulty electric current or leakages flow through an electrical circuit or a particular circuit to keep other circuits intact. In all, there are mainly three (3) powerful categories of circuit breakers and they are moving with their own functions, areas of work, working principles, rating, and many more. Here are our top 3 categories of circuit breakers listed below; Low voltage circuit breakers  Medium-voltage circuit breakers High voltage circuit breakers Low voltage circuit breakers These are the types of circuit breakers that are commonly or popularly known circuit breakers that are designed to be u...

What is meant by an open circuit in the field of electricity?

  What is meant by an open circuit in the field of electricity?  In the field of electricity, an open circuit can be explained as a situation within an electrical or electronic circuit where there is no free flow of electrons or current in an electrical or electronic circuit. Note that in an electrical or electronic circuit, an electric current can only flow freely when the electrical or electronic circuit is a closed circuit.  Whenever there is a break or a cut-off or a disconnection occurs in an electrical or electronic circuit, then that circuit would become an open circuit since an electric current can no longer find its complete path to flow freely through that particular circuit.  But note that without current flowing through an electrical or an electronic circuit, there would, by all means, be a voltage drop or a potential difference available in any two-contact point in that circuit.

Types of low voltage circuit breakers every engineer must know  Low voltage circuit breakers are simply a type or category of circuit breakers which we have learned earlier in our previous article. Generally, we all know those circuit breakers are specially designed or manufactured to be used in both homes or domestic wiring and transmission areas.  The low voltage circuit breakers are mostly the  types or categories of circuit breakers  used in domestic wiring. There are mainly 4 types of low voltage circuit breakers that are used to protect houses, homes, and workplaces. These types of circuit breakers are purposely designed for domestic use and low voltage areas of electricity. Low voltage circuit breakers are also designed to perform a specific function or to offer specific safety or protection to homes and offices. All the main types of low voltage circuit breakers are moving with their various rating, working principles, operations, and functions. Low voltage c...
