When using electrical appliances at home, many netizens often encounter such a situation: there is a socket but it cannot be used, it is not installed where it should be installed, and it is installed but cannot be reached. These problems have brought great inconvenience to life. So how should you plan the number and configuration of sockets and switches in your home?Today, we invite Montaigne designers from Golden Space to tell you about this knowledge, which are all dry goods, remember to collect them!
Kitchen
There are not enough sockets in the kitchen, can I connect a few more sockets?The answer is: no!
The power and safety ampacities of a socket are fixed, as far as the kitchen is concerned, if the kitchen needs to use a microwave oven, range hood, induction cooker, or even an electric oven at the same time, do not consider the difference between different electrical appliances and different ampere plugs, if they are plugged in at the same time, it will definitely exceed the safe ampacity of the socket and the socket.
So what to do?With the correct circuit installation socket and the use of electrical appliances in different positions of the circuit, the pressure of a single socket is reduced, and the overload and heat generation are reduced. And it is best to distinguish between commonly used and infrequently used areas, and the common areas can choose sockets with independent switch design, which can reduce the loss of electrical appliances caused by plugging and unplugging.
Bathroom
In a bathroom with little space, most people think that at most 3 outlets are enough. In fact, electric water heaters, smart toilets, hair dryers, and heaters or bath bombs that the elderly and children need, add up to five or six sockets, if you want to put the washing machine dryer and the like into the bathroom, you have to leave two more sockets, so there is nothing wrong with installing more points, be prepared!
Corridor chapter
Do I need an outlet in a hallway?Very much needed!The wifi at home is always stuck, and the location of the corridor is just connected to the wifi signal in the living room, and a few more wifi extenders are inserted in the corridor, so that the whole family can use the same network!And sweeping robots, vacuum cleaners and everything can be charged in the corridor.
The height of the socket installation is also particular. Different locations should have different planning, in the past, many families in the decoration, are first installed socket switches, and then to buy furniture, in this way, it will lead to sometimes the furniture directly blocked the socket can not be used, so in the early design, it is necessary to take into account the size of large furniture, such as cabinets, sofas, TVs and other furniture appliances, and according to the actual use of the design of the relevant height.
How to make the socket not appear abruptly and affect the beauty of the overall decoration?The best thing to do is to hide the socket. There are two ways to do this: one is to use blind spots. Use the edge of the cabinet, sofa, and TV to hide the socket to achieve the hidden effect, but remember to leave enough space for plugging and unplugging!The second method is to use holes to hide. Use the TV cabinet or coffee table to reserve some holes to conceal a part of the wire socket, such as routers, set-top boxes, projectors, etc., you can directly bury the power line into the wall or cabinet, you can also achieve the effect of concealment!
I can't imagine that there is so much knowledge in a small socket. If you still want to know more about decoration knowledge, or have a good decoration experience to share, welcome to leave a message.
