When planning to carry out electrical installation work, the first thing to think about is to equip yourself. Indeed, you must have all the necessary equipment for the installation. Depending on the type of electrical network you want to set up, the list can be more or less long.
The switch
In an electrical installation, the switch is the element that provides manual control for opening and closing the circuit. There are different types of switches:
– The two-way switch: this has the particularity of being able to control the switching on and off of one or more lamps from two different places. It is most often installed in a hallway or in a room with two entrances.
– The remote switch: a bit like a two-way switch, this also allows you to control the switching on and off of a light point from several places. The difference is that there can be many points (more than two). The light point is switched on and off using push buttons.
– The timer switch: it is used to control the automatic switching on and off of one or more lamps for a period determined in advance. It is often found in tall buildings.
– The electronic dimmer: in addition to being used to turn a lamp on and off, it also allows you to adjust the intensity of the light.
The circuit breaker
The circuit breaker essentially plays a protective role. It is used to cut off the current of your electrical installation in the event of a short circuit. In other words, it acts as a general switch. In addition, the circuit breaker is equipped with a button that allows you to voluntarily cut off the entire installation from your electrical network.
The electric cable
Its main role is to carry current. Indeed, an electrical installation is made up of several parts that are inseparable from each other. Therefore, the cable ensures the distribution of the current and the connection between the different parts.
An electric cable is made up of a group of wires covered by a sheath that ensures their protection. In addition, be aware that there are several types of electric cables of different sizes.
The junction box
Also called a junction box, the junction box is used to concentrate cables and separate them so that each constitutes a departure to the various electrical devices connected to your installation. This element is essential for making an electrical connection. Depending on your needs, you will have the choice between 4 types of junction boxes:
The recessed junction box,
The surface junction box,
The waterproof junction box for outdoor installation,
And finally, the junction box for the attic.
And of course, each model has its own characteristics and corresponds to a particular use.
Don't hesitate.
