If you want to change the wiring yourself: clamps for wires

In order to have light in the house, as you know, you need quality wiring and the presence of all necessary connections in the circuit. Any breakage, weakening of contacts, overloading and other troubles lead to a deterioration in the supply of electricity and other troubles. Therefore, if you decide to repair the wiring, you need to learn some theoretical and practical knowledge.

Wire connection

Clamps for wires refer to the electric fittings and are designed to connect them to the outlet, to the current-transmitting parts of electrical appliances, branches in wiring and other important tasks.

• By popularity in one of the first places are contact clips. There are two types: spring and screw. The latest wire clamps are used for aluminum wire, which is one thread, as well as for copper "multi-bodies". Their design maximizes contact and quality work, for example, lighting. However, over time the connecting mechanism weakens somewhat, and it must be tightened. Screwless devices are flexible plates made of high quality bronze. Clips for wires, which are installed in cartridges for incandescent and daylight lamps , in switches of small-sized type, are made exclusively for copper threads. They are called self-clamping.
• Another type of connecting structure - insulating caps. They are very simple to operate, but are only suitable for single-wire postings.
• If you need to connect to the main power line in the distance objects, then to help installers come the tapping clamps for the wires. On professional slang they are called "nuts". Compared with other designs, "nuts" can connect both copper and aluminum threads. This is their undoubted advantage over other fittings. There is such a connecting clip for a wire of three plates, between which branches are skipped. They are adapted for both external and internal installation work.
• A special type of connecting armature is a clamp with a piercing mechanism. The teeth inside the device pierce the insulation braid and adhere the wires. The connection established by them, reliably provides the supply of electricity. In addition, the specialist, installing the circuit, can work and under voltage - safety technology allows. An armature is also intended for branching electrical lines (as well as "nuts"), laid from isolated self-supporting wires. Naturally, it is quite difficult for a layman to understand all the diversity. Although, as these or other clips for wires look like, the photos give a visual representation.

Of course, if you decide to throw the cables yourself, do the wiring, install those or other connections, you will have to buy the appropriate accessories and fittings. However, when acquiring the necessary details in the store, it is advisable to thoroughly instruct the specialists in order not to be mistaken. And how to use the armature, how to insert and fix the stripped wires - you should also find out, without suitable competent advice to this matter it is better not to proceed.
