GFI Installation
Ground fault interrupters, also known as GFIs or GFCIs, are electronic protection technologies designed to detect leakage currents and prevent dangerous electrical shocks.
What is a GFI and what exactly does it do?
GFI is a ground fault interrupter used to protect people from electric shock and prevent accidents in the home. It constantly A monitors the flow of electrical current through a circuit and automatically shuts off if it detects a current leakage to ground.
How does a GFI detect a current leakage?
When a GFI is installed in an electrical circuit, it constantly monitors the amount of current flowing into the device and the amount flowing back into the circuit. If there is a discrepancy, the GFI detects a current leakage and shuts down the circuit immediately. This prevents people from being electrocuted and reduces the risk of fire.
Kitchen and Bathrooms
Within the house, the kitchen represents the most complex area in terms of domestic electrical installation. It has the five circuits of the basic electrification degree and also has wet areas such as the sink and high temperature areas such as the ceramic hob, induction or gas.
The sink, the hob and the sockets in the kitchen, according to the regulations must
be located at minimum distances.
Before starting with an electrical installation in bathrooms, a thorough analysis of how the elements that will be present will be distributed must be carried out. In this way, it will be avoided that the plugs or points of
light cannot be used because we have not taken this first step or,
what is worse that we notice the lack.
For this, it is important to ask ourselves some questions such as: Where is the backlit washbasin mirror going to be? Knowing perfectly what area each element will occupy will make the electrical installation in bathrooms more efficient.
All the devices that will be needed in a bathroom will determine the sockets that will be needed in a bathroom
electrical installation. it will be necessary think about hairdryers, hair straighteners or shavers.
Thus, to
Also, it will be necessary to pay attention to what type of elements you want to put in the bathroom. Remember that there are showers that can have recessed lights. Therefore, at the moment of realizing an electrical installation, it is necessary to pay attention to the type of elements that you want to put in the bathroom.
