Electrical Wiring System Can Maximize Energy Efficiency In A Safe Manner
The wiring system is designed to be easy for the end user to build, with very little wiring experience. Improper wiring or maintenance of electrical wiring system is one of the major reasons for house fires. All the parts of the wiring system are important, but there are areas that should be placed on more frequent inspection intervals.
A wiring system is a simple to use solution that saves time and cuts the cost of installation, whilst providing future maintenance and flexibility benefits. Issues with the wiring system are difficult to troubleshoot. The main purpose of using the finished wiring system is to reduce the time used for onsite work.A new wiring system is available that uses easy-to-install plastic raceways or channels that mount on the surface of the wall or ceiling and carry wires that run from existing outlets to the new switches or receptacles, which are also mounted on the surface of the wall.
Learn the Basics of Your Home Electrical System (and Stay Safe)
Electrical work can be a bit intimidating, especially for someone new to construction or DIY. Understanding more about electricity can help you determine what types of electrical projects you’d be comfortable tackling on your own.
There was quite a bit of discussion on this post about changing out a wall outlet that questioned whether or not it’s safe to tackle your own electrical or wiring projects. Some projects do require permits and the use of a licensed electrician by law, but most projects including changing wall outlets, light fixtures, and switches can be done safely by any homeowner. Every project (and house) is a bit different so it is always best to understand your own system, the basics of how the system should work, and gauge your comfort level with tackling different projects from there.
The video above from Home Depot is a little cheesy, but it’s still a good primer for how electrical systems are set up in a home. I highly recommend checking it out if you want to take on those kinds of projects (or even if you’re curious). If you’d like to know more about how circuits and current work, there is a ton of very detailed information in these videos as well. See more here.
The switches and the relays they control in a building low-voltage wiring system are designed to operate at 28-volts of direct current.
6 Essential Tips For Smart Wiring
Tip 1: Size matters
It’s important to choose an enclosure with enough room – we really can’t stress this enough! The enclosure is going to be the hub of your install, so you want to ensure that you’re allowing yourself plenty of room. As a general rule of thumb, you want to have at least 20% of the space spare after the installation is complete to allow for future expansions and additional extensions. When planning your install, always keep the future in mind!
Tip 2: Use terminals
We recommend that you use DIN rail mounted terminal blocks in your enclosure (by the way, these have recently become available in our webshop!) and that you use the terminals to link into and out of the Miniserver and Extensions. The reasons for this are as follows:
They stop you getting muddled up!
Terminal blocks are the best way to keep your wiring neat and organised. Consider using separators and label holders if you’re afraid of losing track of which cable is which.
Tip 3: Enclosure layout
It pays to have a clear plan of how you’re going to lay out your cable termination, circuit protection, and Loxone equipment inside your distribution board. We recommend that you keep your circuit breakers towards the bottom of the enclosure along with your power supplies, and yourcable termination towards the top, leaving room for the Loxone equipment in the middle.

How to Find The Suitable Size of Cable & Wire for Electrical Wiring Installation (Solved Examples in British and SI System)
Voltage drop in Cables
We know that all conductors and cables (except Super conductor) have some amount of resistance. This resistance is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the diameter of conductor R ∝ L/a [Laws of resistance R = ρ (L/a)] Whenever current flows through a conductor, a voltage drop occurs in that conductor. Generally, voltage drop may neglect for low length conductors but in a lower diameter and long length conductors, we cannot neglect that voltage drops.
To find voltage drop in a cable, follow these simple steps
- First of all, find the maximum allowable voltage drop
- Now, Find load current
- Now, according to load current, select a proper cable (which current rating should be nearest to the calculated load current) from table 1
- From Table 1, find the voltage drop in meter or 100feet (what system you prefer) according its rated current
(Stay cool 🙂 we will follow both methods and system for finding voltage drops (in meter and 100feet) in our solved example for whole electrical installation wiring).
- Now, calculate the voltage drop for the actual length of wiring circuit according to its rated current with the help of following formulas. Read full article here.
Wiring System Can Incorporate Any Combination Of Wiring Types
In most homes, the wiring system is permanently grounded to a metal rod driven into the ground or a metal pipe extending into the house from an underground water-supply system. With plug-in connections that easily snap together, the electrical wiring system can be quickly installed and moved as needs change. An artfully designed wall-mounted wiring system can breathe new life into a room.
Associated circuit protection, control and distribution devices within a building’s wiring system are subject to voltage, current and functional specification. A wiring system can be physically protected, either by enclosure within a robust outer covering or by selecting a suitable route that avoids the possibility of damage. A new wiring system can be installed by running new wires down the lines of the old wiring system, call us here: (951) 805-1262.
