How to transfer the rosette correctly?

line. Method # 1 - Using the

loop Probably the most unsafe of all options, In this case, a jumper to the new connection point is created from the old electrical "point".As a result, you do not carry the outlet down or up, you just create another one next to it.

The advantage of this method is that as a result you will have a new outlet and at the same time be able to leave the old one. In addition, the cost of materials for the self-transfer of the outlet, are reduced to a minimum.

However, you will get a lot more shortcomings:

1. Loop connection is very unreliable and highly not recommended by the rules of the PUE.
2. The wire from point to point will be laid horizontally, which is also extremely dangerous( we are used to the fact that the branching to switches and other fittings is carried out only vertically).By forgetting, you can accidentally run into an electric shock, if, for example, you decide to drill a hole in the wall. To prevent this from happening, we recommend that you look for the wiring in the wall before moving the outlet.
3. Current load on products will increase, becausetwo points will be connected together by a single loop. If you connect powerful electrical appliances to both sockets( for example, an electric stove and a microwave oven), the wiring can fail and as a consequence - a short circuit.

You can visually see the process of plugging the loop on this video instruction:

By the way, the connection with a loop can have one more important advantage - the wire does not have to be laid in the wall. You can carry the outlet by yourself using the cable channel. Also in this case, it is more preferable to use an overhead model of the product, which will make it possible to transfer a concrete wall to another site! This option is used most often in order to beautifully transfer the outlet to the cabinet in the kitchen or to the balcony.

Method number 2 - Extension of the wire

The second way to independently move the socket in the apartment - just extend the electric line to the new shtrobe. In this case, you have to destroy the wall, but still this option is more correct than the first one.

The technology is as follows:

1. Disconnect the circuit breaker of the socket group.
2. With an indicator screwdriver, we check the absence of current on the terminals.
3. Remove the decorative cover and pull the body out of the stunt.
4. With a perforator, create a bar to a new connection point.
5. We extend the line by fastening the strands together with twisting or another way of connecting the wires.
6. In place of the old shtroba install the junction box and lay in it the place of fastening the veins.
7. Install the sub-socket and connect the socket to the network.

That's how you can carry out a simple transfer of power outlet with shtrobleniem on another wall or even in the floor( sometimes used and this option).We draw your attention to the fact that it is necessary to extend the conductor with a cable of exactly the same cross section and metal of manufacture. If you do not know what diameter of old wires, we recommend you read the instructions for determining the cable cross-section.

There may also be a simpler situation - the socket should be moved closer to the junction box and the wire should not be increased, but shortened. In this case, everything is simpler - create a new shtroba, shorten the line and perform the installation of the product.

The main error that electricians can tolerate when using this method is that the connection of the elongated wire is laid in the old string of the podzheetnik and covered with alabaster. So it's strictly forbidden, becausein this case, access to the connectors will be closed, although they fail more often than the entire site of the power grid!

Method number 3 - Output of a new line

Well, the safest and most reliable method of transferring an electrical outlet is adding a wire from the junction box. In this case, you have to spend more time and effort, but, as we said, it will be right! In addition, a new branch wire allows you to transfer the product even on the opposite wall.

So, first you need to turn off the electricity in the house, then dismantle the old line along with the outlet. Stroba is covered with mortar and a new one is created instead, leading from one wall to another or even to another room through the wall( at your discretion).Next, the cable fits into the created cavity, is led to a new podrozetniku, where it connects to the core.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated, the problem is that it will be necessary to destroy the wall decoration itself, which is not very logical after a major overhaul. So we listed all the most popular ways. We hope that now you know how to transfer the rosette correctly with your own hands!
