Connecting double socket in one podrozetnik

Every year in homes is becoming more and more electrical appliances and all require periodic or permanent connection to the network. Overhaul, we will certainly take into account the increased demands and set the whole blocks of new outlets. But what if the repair is not planned, and increase the number of outlets is necessary. In this case, the installation will double sockets.

Double socket as standard podrozetnik

Remove the old socket

Important. Before proceeding to the disassembly of the old socket should take care of their security. To do this in the control panel disable automatic feeding the premises, if such is not, then disable the automatic introduction. Then take the light or multimeter and check the absence of voltage in the power outlet. And only after that you can start immediate dismantling of the obsolete outlet.

Since at the time I did not have the possibility of writing in to make the actual installation sockets in the wall, I will demonstrate the entire process on your work bench, as the mounting principle is not is different.

Preparatory work

So our podrozetnik securely attached and the power cable is wound into it.

Then Burke cable: it removes the top protective layer of insulating material and the length reserve is not more than 5 - 10 centimeters stock. The statement "the more, the better" in this version does not pass, because if you leave long ends badly, then you will be very difficult to put them in the Escutcheon.

Thus, the wire ends stripped (one centimeter, not more), and the necessary reserve left. Now we can proceed to the immediate installation of a new outlet.

To do this, take a pre-parsed socket or connecting wires as follows:

Blue and white put on a sponge as shown in the photo (with zero phase or you will have the right or the left, is absolutely crucial for the socket). If you have a wiring is three wire cable, the yellow with green stripe wire is connected to the terminal marked with the ground symbol.

What should I do if the wires were too short

There can be a situation that the "perezadelke" old cable ends have their banal can not be enough to connect the new outlet.

If you have copper wiring, then the best option would be to just build crimping wires. But in the case of aluminum, in my opinion, crimping can do more harm, because during the crimping aluminum conductor will undergo deformation, and any additional manipulation of such extremely metal undesirable.

Therefore, the yield of such a situation is a compound of the terminal block.

For this purpose we clean carefully conductors in podrozetnik and fix them using the terminal, and on the other hand fix the individual wires (preferably of the same color).

Then calmly connect our new outlet, we fix it in the Escutcheon and set the pad. After we include previously disconnected the machine and check the presence of voltage in the new outlet multimeter.

Important. Such a method is a last resort, so laying a new cable should be made as soon as possible from the nearest junction box, and if you have aluminum wiring, it is desirable as it is possible to perform faster on its complete replacement copper.
