BS 7671 also known as the IET Wiring Regulations provides guidelines for electrical installations in the United Kingdom. The installation of plug sockets also known as power outlets or receptacles follows specific considerations outlined in the regulations:
Socket Types:
Choose the appropriate type of socket for the intended use. Common types include Type A (13 A) Type B (5 A) and Type C (15 A). The choice depends on the expected load and application and each type has specific wiring requirements.
Location and Accessibility:
Install sockets in accessible locations and at appropriate heights. Standard practice is to install sockets at a height of around 450 mm above the finished floor level. Consider the intended use of the socket and place it conveniently for users.
Wiring Practices:
Follow proper wiring practices outlined in BS 7671 for socket outlets. Use the correct type and size of cable ensure proper earthing and connect to the appropriate circuit (ring or radial). Considerations for cable routing and protection against mechanical damage are essential.
Earthing:
Ensure that the metal parts of the socket are effectively earthed. This is crucial for user safety in case of a fault. The earthing arrangement should comply with the regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
Protection Against Overcurrents:
Provide suitable protection against overcurrents for the socket circuits. This may involve the use of Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) or other protective devices as per the requirements of the installation.
Special Locations:
Consider special locations such as bathrooms or outdoor areas which have specific regulations for electrical installations. Sockets in these locations need to meet additional safety requirements outlined in BS 7671.
Installation by Qualified Personnel:
Socket outlets should be installed by qualified electricians following the guidelines in BS 7671. This ensures compliance with safety standards and regulations and contributes to the overall safety of the electrical installation.
Proper installation of plug sockets is crucial for user safety and the reliable operation of electrical devices. Adherence to the guidelines in BS 7671 ensures the correct wiring and installation practices are followed.
