How to independently connect the site to electricity

Connection procedure

To make it clearer where to begin to independently conduct electricity on a land plot, we divide the actions into two stages: organizational arrangements( collection of documents, application, etc.) and technical( in particular electrical work).

Obtaining permission

Organizational activities, mean by themselves, the preparation of a package of documents, such as:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, in case of filing an application from another person, you need a power of attorney;
• document confirming the ownership of on a house or suburban site;
• is a floor plan of the site, with the designation of the nearest electric power line post, and also indicating the exact location of all engineering systems in the dacha: the passing gas pipeline and water supply pipes.

In this case, it is possible to use Yandex or google maps, print this fragment, and mark the boundaries of your site in red, as shown in the photo below.

There is such a moment that if the post from which you can connect electricity is located 25 meters from the border of the site, then to put light on the site, you will have to install an additional pillar, and most likely at your own expense.

If with this is all right and the distances are within the norm, the complexities of the will not arise, and by operating our recommendation you will be able to perform electricity on the site. Based on these documents, the power supply company must provide with the technical conditions through which you can already carry the light.

According to the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861, the energy transmission organization has no right to refuse you, and in case of not being able to connect electricity in time, for technical reasons, to inform the terms of their execution. This may be the lack of technological connectivity, this line is working at the limit of its capabilities, and connecting a new subscriber will lead to an accident in the network. And in order to bring light to your home, you need a partial or complete upgrade of the electricity network, which can drag on for years.

In case of a positive answer, in a month you will have a document on the connection and technical condition on the hands, with a painted capacity of up to 16 kW( for a holiday home and a residential house are different), the name of the electricity meter, input switch, RCD protection device, andairtight box for outdoor installation.

By the way, you can save a lot of time for running around in the instances and to be engaged at this time a favorite thing, if you apply for electrification at home via the Internet at the site "http: // portal-tp.rf".Briefly: go through registration, apply, apply copies of the documents described above, there is also a possibility of preliminary application with a calculator, indication of the amount of the bill for connection to the electric network. In other words, on this site you can find out what documents are needed to conduct electricity to the site, even if it is without buildings, as well as how much the electrification of the facility will cost.

Technical activities

We take the technical condition and go to a specialized electrical store. We buy a counter, a switch, an automatic hermetic box for outdoor installation of an electricity meter.

We go to our homestead we install a box on the outer wall of the house or a prepared support, we make commutation in the box according to the PUE and the circuit in the technical condition, or for an additional fee the electrician will be made by a specialist.

Next, the wires from the street box should be taken to the distribution board in your home( the article assumes the availability of ready wiring for turning on the light, or a prepared shield with RCDs and vending machines in the room).If the billboard is on a separate support, far away on the border of your infield, you can bring the cable in the ground in the trench to the electrified house. We talked in detail about how to conduct electrical wiring under the ground with our own hands.

The connection of electricity from the post to the subscriber input panel will be made by the company's specialists who will also seal the meter and draw up an act of subscriber connection. The wiring and wiring of the electrical wiring must be carried out in accordance with the regulations in force and in compliance with safety regulations.

In addition, it is also necessary to install a protective grounding loop, in our age of technology and electrical devices, it will not be superfluous. About how to make grounding in a private house, we told in the relevant article.

We also recommend viewing a video showing how to carry light from the post to the house:

shield How much does the electrification cost?

Separate paragraph I would like to consider the cost of electricity to the suburban area. The fact is, it is impossible to accurately name the price, becauseit depends on many factors, namely:

1. Distance from home to the source of electricity. In the city, the distance should not exceed 300 meters, in the village - 500 meters, in order to invest in the minimum amount of connection - 550 rubles.
2. The region in which you are located. For example, in Moscow, the electricity supply to your shield is more expensive than in the Kamchatka Territory.
3. Connection type - new or existing. Again, in the first case, electricity will be more expensive.
4. Voltage level - 0,4 kV or 6-10 kV.Also an important indicator, although only 0.4 kV is used for a residential house, but nevertheless, if you want to connect a higher voltage to the facility, take into account this nuance.

These are the most significant factors on which the cost of power supply depends. As we said above, you can find out the exact price on the site using a special online calculator. The minimum price for power supply in 2016 is 550 rubles.

That's all I wanted to tell you about how to conduct electricity on the site with your own hands and how much this procedure costs. Having become acquainted with the stages of the work, you can proceed to collection of documents and other actions!
