5 practical electrical tips for every day

In everyday life, there are always many situations that complicate the solution of ordinary questions a little. I will briefly touch on the topic of electrical engineering and share several useful ways to troubleshoot problems.

1 tip

If there are so many short wires sticking out of the ceiling that even twisting is impossible, then it is worth taking a couple of terminals, for example Vago for two wires, and connect a lamp or chandelier through them. It should be borne in mind that the terminals themselves will then need to be hidden under the cover of the lamp or chandelier, so you should first see if there is so much space under the cover.

2 tip

When only one of the cores is damaged on the two-core wire running in the wall, for example, it was interrupted while working with a drill or punch, then it will not work to connect the damaged core without building up. However, if you use a simple bolted terminal, then you don't have to build up the wire and do the twisting. The connection of the wires remains neat, only before it is walled into the wall, it must be insulated.

3 tip

Sometimes you need to make a temporary power line or fix the external wiring with special clips, but they are not at hand. Then cutting off other wires can help out. Perfect for this baked goods claspswith which the package is closed. They are very flexible and durable. By nailing the clasps to the wall and crimping the wire with them, you can securely fix it. Moreover, it can be wires and cables of different diameters. And it is very easy to assemble and disassemble such a line.

It is not uncommon to use an extension cord at work or at home, but with a slight tension, the plug often falls out of it. To avoid this, before plugging the plug into the power outlet of the extension cord, the wire of the outlet and plug must be overwhelmed, as when tying a knot. After that, when pulled, the plug will fit even tighter into the outlet and will definitely not pop out.

5 tip

In situations where it is necessary not only to connect electrical wires, but to provide mechanical strength of the joint, the knot twist will help out straight knotused by hikers, climbers, etc. (photo 5). Such a knot differs from the usual household knot in the direction of the weave. With this method of connection, the wires can easily and for as long as necessary withstand the loads on sagging and tension.

These are the simple and, you must admit, not useless advice of sophisticated people will help out more than once in a difficult situation. I would be glad if you could share which of the following you liked the most.
