Garage for any driver is extremely importanta room that provides protection and storage of the machine against precipitation, theft and damage. Some make it a repair pit in order to independently change parts and take care of the car. But for these works, lighting is necessary. Therefore, every man should know how to make a wiring in the garage.
Electrification of the parking lotis a responsible job, to which it is necessary to attract a professional, because some manipulations can be performed only with admission and permission from local authorities. That is why the wiring in the garage with their own hands is done, if the motorist has certain skills and knowledge. Electrification of this building is carried out in the following ways:
To create artificial light inside the garage, you will have to draw a diagram in the form of a finished drawing.
For many car enthusiasts this building becomesnot only a place to store a vehicle, but also a workshop in which they spend all their free time. That is why the functionality and convenience of wiring should be in the first place. To make the garage more attractive and to provide maximum security, it is necessary to use various ways of camouflaging and installing cables.
For example, you can lay them on walls orhide in special plastic construction. For such purposes, overhead boxes are used. True, the first way is forbidden to build on flammable walls: wood or plywood. In addition, this option is unsafe. It is better for these surfaces to use metal boxes.
It is possible to avoid errors during installation ifPrepare a plan for future electrical wiring. On it it is necessary to note all places of installation of switches, cables, sockets, and also arrangement of bulbs. Wiring elements must be fastened together only by straight lines. At the same time, start the connection from the switchboard. The plan always indicates the ways of each connection.
When wiring is done in the garage, switches withthe indicator should always be connected in series, and the sockets must be mounted in front of them. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account that the distance from cables to the ceiling should be about 100 mm, and from the connector for connecting electrical appliances to the floor surface - 500 mm. In the room, a common switch is usually located on the right side of the garage door at an altitude of about 1.5 meters. It should be remembered that in the garage it is impossible to mount switches and sockets with a voltage of 220 V. Only installation of lamps from 12 V, suspended from the outside of the structure or equipped with sealed plafonds is allowed.
Before conducting the wiring in the garage, you should prepare in advance:
Your main task is to post in the garage.But before you do, select the cable you need. It is desirable for such purposes to use a copper multicore wire. When buying, pay attention to the marking of the cable, which indicates the cross-section of each core, as well as their number. Suppose, on the wire it is written 2x0.75. Hence, there are two veins cross-section 0.75 square meters. mm. This cable is enough for lighting.
From the garage it is necessary to take out before laying the cablecans of kerosene, gasoline or paint. Still, according to fire safety, you can not refuel the vehicle in this structure, and also use kerosene to flush the engine. If all these rules are violated, the garage will belong to the class B-la, in other words, to be an explosive room. Therefore, it is necessary to place switches and fuses from lighting circuits separately, for example, on the street.
The first thing in the garage is an electricautomatic device that protects against overvoltage. The most suitable option is a two-phase switch. Inside the building a shield is mounted, in which the counter and the machine will be placed. When choosing it, one should be guided by the dimensions of these electrical elements. Then a cable is connected to the box, which is stretched to the garage from the street. It is connected first to the counter, and then to the switch. For top lighting and outlets it will be enough to make two machine guns.
Выполнив присоединение провода к щитку, можно go to indoor wiring. It is recommended to drive the cable through the wall with a closed or open method, using special clips for fixing. The first option involves the strobing of the surface, if the garage is built of brick, or the installation of special boxes to mask the wires. But the second method allows you to save time and effort, but, unfortunately, not so aesthetically.
Потом выполняется установка лампочек и розеток.You can do this not only from an electric box, but, on the contrary, to it. In the first case, the wires lead directly to the lamp or socket, and in the second - to the shield. When placing the phase wire to the switch, do not forget to de-energize the garage. After electrical installation work, it is necessary to perform a test switch on the machine.
Carry out any work on the replacement, carrying outelectricity in the garage, repair and even the installation of light bulbs or sockets can only be with the voltage switched off. To do this, lower the switches down in the control box. Wiring should only be carried out in comfortable shoes and clothes that do not impede movement. In the inspection pit, it is not recommended to install the outlet, as this is a place of high humidity. It is better to give preference to a three-phase network than a single-phase network, which is considered unsafe. The cable must be laid strictly vertically or horizontally, making turns at an angle of 90 degrees.
Laying should be laid on a smalldistance from the radiators and ceiling. Sockets and switches should also be installed at a comfortable height from the floor. The wiring tool must be complete with insulated handles, without exposed ends and poor connections. When carrying out high-altitude work there must be special goats or platforms. It is forbidden to use foam blocks, barrels and other self-made structures. Wiring in the garage with the correct installation will please the owners for at least 30 years.
