As you know that electrical wiring in home is a dangerous task, if not done properly. No one should ever attempt working on electrical wiring without knowing the tips and tricks of electrical wiring, even if they have years of wiring experience.
1. Power Tests
Before working on electrical wiring one should always check and test wire and devices that whether power inside the box that you are working into prevent electric shock. Sometimes, even if you shut off the power their may be a chance that some wiring connected to another circuit and hence poses a threat of electric shock.
2. Uncoil Cable
The best way to install cable is to first straighten them out and then install easily. To straighten them, first you need to pull the cables from the centre of the coil. And then next step is to toss them across the floor. Once the cable get untangled, It helps you on easier handling and neater storage.
3. Amperage Rating
For all electrical wiring or device’s, first you must have to check amperage rating or amp. Before installing wire, you must have the appropriate amperage rating for all circuits. As for eg:- 30-amp circuit must have a right gauge wiring to prevent fire or shock hazard.
4. Grounding Wires
Since you know that electricity is always watching for the shortest path back to the earth, if there is a dilemma where the neutral wire is broken, then the grounding wire provides a direct path to the ground.
5. Boxes & Clamps
You always need to secure inserting all wiring connections in appropriate electrical boxes or clamps. Enclosures provides protection to the connection as well as the people from incidental contacts with those connections.
6. Right Wire
There are various different kinds of wires accessible in the market such as heat resistant, industrial grade, flame Resistant etc. You should need to be sure while choosing the right wire for your need.
The above tips and tricks not only help in safe electrical wire and cable changing and replacements but also pave a way for safer homes.
