Electrical Installations
Residential electrical installation is a method of wiring a building structure so that it can supply appliances and lights, as well as powering the system. It should be done by a professional electrical contractor who will not only install the required number of circuits according to local codes, but also ensure that these are wired correctly.

What is meant by residential electrical installation?

What is the purpose of residential electrical Installations
The main purpose of residential electrical work is to get electricity from the power source into areas where it is needed. This involves running cables through walls or under floors from an outdoor meter / switchboard to rooms in the house, where they will connect with sockets and switches on walls for easy access. The electrician must make sure that there are no exposed wires within three feet of a sink, bath or shower which could cause shocks if touched while wet.
Home electrical installation
This is all about providing good lighting for homes by connecting all rooms in a house with electricity. Outlets are arranged in convenient locations throughout the building. The increasing use of appliances means that more outlets are required than ever before. Additions can be made easily by remodeling existing parts of the house or adding new wings onto the structure. Another important aspect of home electrical installation is safety, which includes only using approved products in assigned areas and being sure that wiring is done correctly. Equipment for home electrical installation includes lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, outlet boxes, wall plates and covers, junction boxes, conduit fittings and surface raceway systems.
Electrical installation and maintenance
Residential home electrical work is carried out by electricians who must comply with the latest legislation – The Building Regulations 2000, which require all circuit cables to be buried at least 100mm into walls and floors, protecting them from damage and ensuring that they do not interfere with other services such as phone lines or broadband connections. After installation, an electrician will test each circuit to make sure it is working correctly. They will also inspect any damaged wiring and replace it if necessary. Householders should contact a qualified electrical installer when there are problems with lights or sockets, or if they notice smoke coming from circuits in their home.
Commercial Warehouse Wiring Installations
A commercial warehouse needs to be fully wired for power distribution, fire alarm systems, CCTV systems, data communications, and lighting. For a small warehouse, there are usually just three areas that need power – the main distribution board where the incoming supply is connected, one sub-board to control 240-volt equipment such as heating or welding machines, and then another small board to power general lighting.
3 Phase power is also often available in many commercial buildings, especially warehouses. This high voltage supply is able to carry large amounts of current into an industrial building – it’s like having a three-lane highway that electricity can travel down. Industrial buildings are often fitted with transformers that boost the voltage to between 414V and 690V, measured in kilovolts.
What are the common problems in home electrical installation?
Some of the common problems faced by homeowners are faulty breakers or fuses because of too much current flow through them; problems with proper grounding due to corroded wires or incomplete connections; improperly wired outlets that lack ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) or smoke detectors; overloaded circuits that lead to overheating wires; low-quality electricity supply leading to power outages; poor insulation resulting in heat loss. Some causes of fires include damaged plugs with exposed prongs; heating appliances such as ovens, microwaves and toasters that are not properly grounded; and overloaded circuits.
