How to connect the outlets in the house: in series or with a star (in parallel)?
Hello. Please tell me doing the wiring in the house. The shield is mounted on the street. 5 kW allocated. A cable 3 * 6 is laid from it to the shield in the house. Automatic 25A from him cable to the stabilizer 5 kW. From the stabilizer to a group of unipolar automata interconnected.
Question: cable for sockets 3 * 2.5, for lighting 2 * 1.5. Open type wiring. Can I put the sockets in one room on one 16A machine, feeding them sequentially on a 3 * 2.5 cable. Or let me use a 3 * 4 cable from the distribution box and then switch to 2.5. Or pull a cable to each outlet? Thanks in advance.
Hello! Yes, before, in general, everything was fed in one line with a pair of safety plugs. And the fact that you propose to divide the lines into rooms and put each on your machine (I understand correctly?) Is generally wonderful. Next, about connecting outlets. When all sockets are placed in parallel on one cable - this is called a loopback connection. When there is a wire from the distribution box or shield to each outlet - the connection of the outlets with a star is called. The first option (yours) is several times cheaper, and the second is more reliable, because when the wires are burned from one outlet, the others will continue to work.
