Notes on installation of sockets
May 05, 2022
1. The installation height of the socket should be installed according to the design requirements when it is specified in the design; when the design is not clear, it should generally meet: the socket with a safety door is not less than 0.3M; the socket without a safety door is not lower than 1.8M. It is recommended to buy sockets with safety gates whenever possible, as the price difference between the two is not much.
2. A well-sealed waterproof and splash-proof socket should be used in the bathroom or other damp places. (Note: The socket with safety door is based on the general socket, and the plastic baffle (safety door) before the metal reed of the jack is added. The three-hole socket, when the plug is inserted, the grounding pile head (slightly longer) is inserted into the hole first , the mechanism in the socket will open the other two holes. The two sockets must be inserted into the socket pile head at the same time, and the safety door can be opened to prevent children from accidentally inserting metal objects and causing safety accidents.)
3. When the socket is installed, its panel should be straight and close to the wall. And the wiring (phase) should be in line with: single-phase two-hole socket, facing the right hole or upper hole of the socket is connected to the phase wire (live wire), left hole or lower hole is connected to the neutral wire; single-phase three-hole socket, facing the right side of the socket. The hole is connected to the phase wire (L, live wire), the left hole is connected to the neutral wire (N), and the upper hole is connected to the ground wire (PE).
