With the popularization of household appliances, the safety of household electricity has also attracted increasing attention. As an important electrical safety equipment, leakage protectors are widely used in homes, offices and other places. Proper installation and wiring of leakage protectors is the key to ensuring the safety of household electricity. This article will introduce the wiring diagram and installation wiring method of the leakage protector in detail to help you understand how to install and use the leakage protector correctly.
First, the purchase of leakage protector
When purchasing leakage protectors, we should choose products with reliable quality that meet national standards. At the same time, it is necessary to choose the appropriate specifications and models according to the size of the household electricity load. Generally speaking, the specifications of leakage protectors commonly used in households are 10A, 16A and 20A.
Second, the installation position of the leakage protector
The leakage protector should be installed below the incoming switch and close to the ground for easy operation and maintenance. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the installation environment is dry and well-ventilated, and avoid installing in humid or high-temperature environments.
3. Wiring of leakage protector
1. Firewire wiring
The live wire of the leakage protector must be connected to the live wire of the power supply, and the live wire must not be connected to the neutral line to avoid unnecessary failures. When wiring, pass the live wire through the live wire terminal of the leakage protector.
2. Neutral wire wiring
The neutral wire should be connected directly to the neutral line and should not pass through the leakage protector. When wiring, the neutral wire should be passed through the neutral terminal block of the leakage protector.
3. Ground wire wiring
The ground wire should be connected to the ground wire, not to the neutral wire. When wiring, the ground wire should be passed through the ground terminal of the leakage protector. If the home does not have a ground wire, it can be left ungrounded.
4. Precautions
1. Before installing the leakage protector, disconnect the main switch of the home power supply to avoid electric shock accidents.
2. During the installation process, check whether the specifications and models of the leakage protector meet the requirements and confirm whether the wiring method is correct.
3. When using the leakage protector, it is necessary to check and maintain it regularly to ensure that it is working properly. If fault or damage is found, it should be replaced or repaired in time.
4. In the process of home decoration or electrical equipment replacement, do not change or remove the wiring of the leakage protector at will, so as not to cause safety accidents.
5. For some special household appliances, such as water heaters, air conditioners, etc., the appropriate leakage protector should be selected according to the instructions in the product manual.
6. When using multiple leakage protectors, pay attention to the load balance between each protector to avoid affecting their normal operation due to excessive or small load.
7. In the process of purchasing and using leakage protectors, it is necessary to choose regular channels to purchase qualified products, and do not buy inferior products for the sake of cheapness.
