I greet you, dear subscribers, and channel visitors! This time is not complicated electrician!

Replacing the outlet is often forced, because over time, the material from which it is made, it may be rendered useless, and sometimes it podplavlyaetsya of bad contacts or all burns.

Since the outlet can be inside or outside when buying a new need to be clear with what it is you are dealing with. At the outer socket housing stays on top of the walls, while the interior is set in the technological hole in the wall, and the top is only a decorative cover.

IMPORTANT! Go and read about how replace and move the outer outlet. Incremental algorithm.

To begin, you must use an indicator to determine whether there is an old outlet voltage, then you will know exactly what is required is the replacement of sockets, rather than wiring, which it feeds. It was good to find out to which of the three phase wires connected. Typically, the phase wire is colored brown.

Further disable power to the panel, lowering down toggle machines. After the de-energized network begin to replace:

• remove the lid and look at how many wires coming to the old outlet. If there are three, then one of them is the ground. In most cases, its isolation is yellow;

• Remember, on some of the wires supplied phase, somehow we mark it;
• unscrew the screws that secure the outlet attachment and take out the entire inside of the outside;
• Now we disconnect the wires and remember, if there are three wires, which one goes to ground and which is zero. The neutral conductor is often black in color;
• unscrewing the screws to the terminal, disconnect all cables and put off the old outlet side.

If you are dealing with the inner socket of the old sample, it is possible that it is necessary to replace the Escutcheon, and if it is missing, install a new, preparing for his opening.

Before installing a new outlet to remove her cap and let go of a few screws holding the mount, and the mount will not install it inside. After stripping the wires to Clem we connect phase and neutral wires, and then fasten the earth wire, facing the metal body projecting from the handle of the socket. Set the socket in the right position and fix fasteners. It remains to fasten the decorative cover.

By connecting the power supply, first check the best indicator of whether voltage is present. As before, it should be only one way out. If everything is in order - use appliances.
