3 options for connecting the power outlet
So, the first and most simple wiring diagram is as follows:
As you can see, the situation is the most popular - the input cable is routed to the first socket, and from there all the cases are connected with jumpers: phase to phase, zero to zero, grounding to ground. If you need connect the hob or another, powerful consumer, it is better to use the following scheme for connecting sockets in the block:
As you can see, for a powerful electrical appliance it is better to take out a separate connection point and install it next to the unit. In appearance, this connection option will not differ from the usual one, but there will be no dangerous situation and the cases of “electric points” will not melt due to the high current load on the wiring.
If you have a socket connected to a light switch, then the wiring of the wire will be slightly different, you will need to make a jumper for the phase yourself and connect it to the corresponding terminals. The wiring diagram of the socket block and double switch looks something like this:
If in your case there is a one-key model, the circuit will not change, just at the exit of the switch there will be one wire, not two. You can clearly see the installation process in the video below:
We hope that the provided options for connecting the outlet block were useful for you and useful in electrical work. We also recommend that you read the instructions forconnecting the earthed socket to ground!
