Domestic electrical system: functionality and safety
The electrical system is an important technical component of a home, the one that allows us to live it with all the comforts. From the main functions of domestic life to those more closely related to personal habits, in a modern home there are many appliances that require electricity. This is a complex and articulated system, made up of a series of elements and, if not up to standard, it turns out to be rather dangerous. In the event of renovation or new installation, the domestic electrical system is undoubtedly a priority work
What you need to know about the electrical installation
An electrical system is the set of machines, equipment, components and accessories intended for the production, transformation, transport and distribution of electricity.
In a house, the concept of safety passes through an electrical system in compliance with the law . For this reason, the rules currently in force governing construction and installation are very strict, so it is better to avoid any do-it-yourself intervention. Installing the electrical system of your home requires knowledge and equipment, do not play with your safety and that of your family, if you need to renovate and make a new installation always rely on experienced professionals in the sector. Short circuits and shocks, or even fires, are rare phenomena, but with which one must always be very careful.
Domestic emergency electrical systems , in order to be in order and able to guarantee the maximum safety standard for users, must be developed taking into account many variables and made taking into account the specific reference standards. Therefore, a certain knowledge of electricity is required: between pipes, wires and cables and accessories, but also junction boxes, equipotential bonds, devices such as panels, switches, circuits, disconnectors, automatic switches and protective housings of the devices there is no it's a joke.
Essential components of an electrical system
- the meter , which takes care of measuring energy consumption, is in the main switch, from here, the conductor wires are connected to the single switchboard, that is to the electrical panel of the house;
- the switchboard is the main component, the heart, of a compliant electrical system and has a general switch and at least two differential switches . The number of lines is variable and depends on the size of the building, but also on the level of the system adopted. The meter, which takes care of measuring energy consumption, is in the main switch. Two wires start from here, called phase conductor and neutral conductor . The neutral is connected to another cable, called earth, which discharges any over voltages in the ground;
- the differential magneto thermic switch , commonly called life- saving device, is a protection device capable of automatically interrupting the electrical flow of energy to the circuit, in the event of overload, thermal intervention, earth fault (electrical leakage) or electrocution;
- earthing serves to protect both people from the risk of electrocution (shocks) and systems from electrical voltages. It essentially consists of a system of conductors connected to one or more earth electrodes, inserted into the ground;
- the points taken for the connection of the various appliances;
- simple or compound switches to control the light points.
How to optimize your electrical system in FairFax
To save energy and at the same time guarantee a better quality of life, better comfort and an ecological approach, you need to optimize your electrical system. The solutions are different: automatic switches, heating programmers, ecological lighting are among the most important.
