What cable and automatic machine is needed for wiring in a country house?
Good afternoon. I have such a situation, in the country house I need a replacement wiring. What cable and automatic machines are best used to connect lighting for three rooms and electrical appliances, such as an electric kettle, an electric stove for 2 burners, a water heater?
Hello! For a lighting group, you can choose a copper cable with a cross section of 1.5 mm.sq., put a machine on 10A on this group. As for electrical appliances, you did not indicate their power. Let's take the average: an electric kettle of 1.5 kW + a stove for 2 burners 2 kW + a water heater of 2 kW. Total 5.5 kW. Given the inclusion of all consumers at the same time, you just need a copper cable with a cross section of 2.5 mm.kv. and an automatic machine at 25A. You can choose a cable with a margin of 4 mm2 cross-section.
