Previously, they lived with two "plugs" at the input, but now they put a bunch of automation on each outlet. Is there a reasonable middle ground?

Saving on electricity is the last thing I want to do when building my house. But when some "cosmic solutions" are imposed everywhere (both in sales and cost), then there is a desire to figure it all out so as not to become a victim of widespread marketing.

When doing something at my construction site, I always plan ahead for the next work. And electrical issues have long been pondered and studied.

• When I conducted electricity to the site, of course, I entrusted the work to professionals. At the time, I didn't even want to go into it.
• Time passed and I myself outweighed the introductory box, with SIP under voltage. It was exciting.

• Next time, I have already studied the issues of internal electrics, and, so to speak, practiced in my basement, making there wiring, automated the operation of his homemade water purification system, and put a small shield with automation.

• The next step is the electrics throughout the house.

And at the head of this work will be the assembly of the introductory electrical panel.

And here, who is in what much ...

With the current abundance of various automation, electrical panels in some houses resemble the provision of some kind of spacecraft.

But at the same time, there are still people who live in old houses with two traffic jams at the entrance, they feel fine.

It is not clear who to look at and who to believe, so you need to use your head.

✅ It is clear that the difference between what was before and our time is huge.

• Starting with the fact that in Soviet times, home electrical networks were different from modern ones. The voltage between "phase and phase" used to be 220 V, and between "phase and zero" 127 V. Now it is 380 V, and 220 V, respectively.
• Ending with the number of home consumers, which has grown many times over.

But even taking into account such changes, there are basics, but there is "imposed overkill."

I just can’t understand: why put an automatic machine on almost every outlet (and if the funds allow, then they will hang the RCD)?

The fact that a modern shield needs automation with various protections, no one argues. Circuit breakers, RCDs, voltage relays - everything has its own task.

But there is a difference in their required volume, and in what they put for the sake of quantity. After all, the machine protects a whole group of sockets or just one from that, it will not work worse.

When assembling the electrical panel in my house, I will only adhere to the following principles.

Multistage. General protection at the entrance, then automation on individual groups. Those. everyone is protecting each other.

Start from consumers and operating conditions. After all, there is a difference between the line to which the electric stove will be connected, and the outlet where the phone will be charged. Also, the protection of devices in wet rooms should be approached more responsibly.

At the same time, it seems to me sufficient to make a division into two or three zones. My house is not so big that each room can be managed by a separate group, and it will have little effect on operation.
