How to make the wiring in the garage with his hands

Garage is a male territory, where there is not only the car, but also spends a lot of time just about any man. Therefore, there should be a comfortable, convenient and safe, and the wiring must comply with all safety requirements. In this article I will tell you what nuances there is the implementation of new wiring and how to properly implement.

For example, consider an option when you need to post in the garage which is already supplied with electricity.

Hidden or Outside

Before proceeding with the development of the scheme and its implementation, you need to decide what type of wiring is used. The most reliable in terms of safety is considered, of course, concealed wiring, but your garage can be built not only out of the blocks or bricks.

If you have a wooden or metal garage, the only available option will be exactly the external wiring. We will look at both options, and what to choose for themselves, it's up to you - the owner.

preparation of schemes

This is the main and important stage of the whole work, because on it depends how much you need to buy material for the implementation of your project.

As a basis ideal plan for your garage, because it is drafted in accordance with the actual size and placing items on the plan and wiring combining them, you will be able to fairly accurately calculate the length of wire required and the exact number of sockets, machines, switches and distribution boxes.

Important. If your garage is present observation pit, and you want to perform and there is light, you should be aware that the regulations prohibit the use of such moments of voltage 220V. In this case, the illumination hole must be formed through the step-down transformer 220/36 (24 or 12) and in carefully separate line.

Schematic wiring diagram without lighting a viewing hole looks like this:

Which wire to use

I for security and so I will not recommend to save on high-quality cable. And so it is best to take the cable brand VVGng or NYM. Yes, these samples are decent, but their isolation is made of non-combustible materials in the case of contingency wire does not become the source of a fire in your garage.

concealed wiring

If you decide to make the internal wiring, in addition to the wires you need: Enclosures for indoor installation, drill, hammer (for wiring runs in concrete), screwdrivers, electrical tape, cable fittings, electrical box.

Options panel will not differ in any way and cabling will be: metering device, introductory machine, RCD, circuit breakers, zero and earthing shank (if you have a three-wire system).

After all the preparatory work can begin to direct the installation wiring. And it is necessary to start from the shield mounting location.

Route Stroebe and niches for the switch installation locations, junction boxes and sockets. Next overfill cable and produce wiring in the junction box.

Important. According to the SAE requirements to use standard twisted prohibited, permissible: welding, crimping, the connection Vago connectors, the connection terminal blocks. What a way to choose as you decide.

Once produced in the wiring junction boxes for switches and sockets (important specification, due to the fact that in most Garage is quite humid environment, you should use components with a degree of protection IP 44), you must check its accuracy via multimeter.

And right after that you can start a network connection in the cabinet, but remember, if installed new metering device, the removal and installation must be carried out with the authorization of the management company or and sales.

Field wiring

Unlike external wiring hidden in the fact that the external system is much easier and faster to implement. And this method is not necessary elements of internal and external performance.

And ready wiring, will be as follows:

Output

As you can see in principle difficult to implement the wiring in the garage there. Simply observe basic safety requirements and follow the instructions. Thanks for attention.
