To have light in the house, as you know, high-quality wiring and the presence of all the necessary connections in the circuit are necessary. Any breaks, weakening of contacts, overloads and other troubles lead to a deterioration in the supply of electricity and other troubles. Therefore, if you decide to do repair wiring, you need to learn some theoretical and practical knowledge.
Wire connection
Clips for wires relate to electrical fittings and are designed to connect them to a wall outlet, to current-transmitting parts of electrical appliances, branches in wiring and other important tasks.
- By popularity, one of the first places are contact clamps. There are two types: spring and screw. The last wire clamps are used for aluminum wire, which is a single thread, as well as for copper "multi-strands." Their design provides maximum contact and quality work, for example, lighting. However, over time, the connecting mechanism weakens somewhat, and it has to be tightened. Screwless devices are flexible plates made of high quality bronze. Clips for wires, which are installed in holders for incandescent and daylight lamps , in small-sized switches, are made purely for copper filaments. They are called self-locking.
- Another type of connection design is insulating caps. They are very easy to operate, but suitable only for single-thread postings.
- If it is necessary to connect remote objects to the main power line, branch clamps for wires come to the aid of installers. In professional slang they are called "nuts." Compared to other types of constructions, nuts can connect both copper and aluminum threads. This is their undoubted advantage over other fittings. Such a connecting clamp for a wire consists of three plates, between which branches are passed. They are suitable for both outdoor and indoor installation work.
- A special type of connecting fittings are clamps with a piercing mechanism. The teeth inside the device pierce the insulating braid and interlock the wires. The connection established by them reliably provides electricity. In addition, the specialist, when mounting the circuit, can work under voltage - safety precautions allow. The fittings are also intended for branch power lines (like "nuts"), laid from insulated self-supporting wires. Naturally, it is rather difficult for a non-specialist to understand all the variety. Although, what these or other clamps for wires look like - the photos give a visual representation.
Of course, if you decide to throw cables yourself, make wiring, establish certain connections, you will have to buy the appropriate accessories and fittings. However, when acquiring the necessary parts in the store, it is advisable to instruct specialists in detail in order not to be mistaken. Yes, and how to use fittings, how to insert and fasten stripped wiring - you also need to find out, without suitable competent advice, it is better not to start this business.
