Safety on residential electrician service

The million dollar question is also, “how to”…

In fact, there are a lot of different factors to take in consideration when busy with residential electrician service. Indeed, we need to inspect all cabling to see if there aren’t any 2.5mm cable joined with 1.5mm cables. Most important, at any rate, if that is the case, then we need to label that specific circuit as a mixed circuit. At the same time, we also need to fit a circuit breaker to protect the smallest cable of the two.

On the other hand, plug sockets should all be wired with 2.5mm cable. However, never join in with a 1.5mm cable on a plug socket. Again, the reason behind that is, then all the plugs on that specific line can only handle a power current of 15amps. Deu to the reason mentioned above, the circuit will trip if any appliance at any time, will draw more than 15Amps. While this may be true, always try and join up with another plug socket, or take the cable straight to the DB box.

My “how to” quotation is not done yet…

Moreover, you should always try to have your kitchen plugs separately, because the kitchen appliances will on the other hand, easily accedes the amps of that specific circuit. Firstly, a kettle uses anything between 6amps to 12 amps. The same time, a coffee maker uses anything between 5amps and 8amps. Furthermore, a toaster uses anything between 8amps and 10amps. Meanwhile where a frying pan uses anything between 7amps and 12amps.

Thus, the plug line on a kitchen, can easily exceeds the 25amps. Finally, only with the appliances above, you are looking at an average of 34amps.

Then a coffee maker uses anything between 5amps and 8amps. And a toaster uses anything between 8amps and 10amps, where a frying pan uses anything between 7amps and 12amps.

Besides this extremely important piece of knowledge, there’s still a lot to learn…

Understanding the total amperage consumption of your various appliances is crucial because it can lead to overloading a circuit. If a circuit becomes damaged and fails to trip, it can potentially result in the melting of your wiring, ultimately posing a fire hazard. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that your electrician is highly competent, as both your safety and the safety of your loved ones are at stake when inexperienced or unreliable individuals work on your electrical systems. Quality of our work is a testament to our commitment. It’s evident whether an electrician is solely motivated by financial gain or takes pride in their craftsmanship.

And we continue…
