. Generally, the power of the cooker hood does not exceed 500 W, so if there is no outlet nearby, it is best to connect with a cable. To do this it is quite simple - install a new outlet near the device and from the nearest one output the jumpers, as shown in the diagram:
For the loop, you can use copper wire, cross-section 1.5 mm2.If there is no desire to bend the walls to lay the cable with your own hands, we recommend conducting an open wiring in the cable channel. To date, there are neat cable boxes that will not spoil the interior of the kitchen and at the same time help solve the problem.
For residents of old apartments there is an easier way to conduct a cable from one outlet to another, while not severely disturbing the decoration of the walls. You can familiarize yourself with this method by viewing two illustrative video examples below:
partition We draw your attention to the fact that no powerful devices can be connected to the plug-in socket, only the hood itself. Otherwise, overload may occur, and if the line is not protected by a circuit breaker, the socket housing may melt, resulting in a short circuit. Be extremely careful if you decide to connect the hood to electricity in this way.
Replacement of the
outlet The second idea that will solve the problem is the replacement of a single outlet with a double socket. If you can not connect the hood in the kitchen just because the nearest connection point is always busy, we recommend that you change it to double, as shown in the photo below. This method of connection will be a compromise, but keep in mind that electrical wiring in the kitchen should be designed for a new load( instead of one electrical appliance, two will be connected to one point).
Conducting a new line
Well, the most reliable way is to independently connect the hood in the kitchen to electricity from the junction box. Of course, it should be considered only if you are doing repairs in the house and are already thinking about connecting the kitchen hood. All you need is to get the line from the intermediate box and lead to the place where you are going to place the socket. Here I would like to give a recommendation - it is best to place it above the hood( as shown in the diagram below), so that the fat does not contaminate the body of the connection point.
That's the whole instruction for connecting. As you can see, there are several alternative ways to solve the problem and one of the provided ones must definitely come up. If you have any questions and you still did not know how to connect the hood in the kitchen to electricity, we recommend to describe your situation in the comments!
