Shield preparation

Power sockets and plugs for electric stoves must be grounded, because these power communications are an area of ​​increased danger. In most of the apartments and houses until the 50s of the buildings grounding was not established, so you should invite a professional electrician for a consultation. Also, make sure that the receptacle is equipped with a special ground terminal.

Important electrical and wiring requirements:

1. To connect the socket, it is necessary to use a separate protective circuit breaker - it is installed in front of the meter and is necessary for additional control of the operation of this electrical device. The best option would be if the power outlet will be connected through an additional shield - this will protect the wiring from overloading;
2. The wire supplied to the outlet must have a cross section larger than 6 mm2;
3. According to the requirements of PUE, the wiring in the room should be copper, the old Soviet aluminum will not work. If necessary, you will need to completely change it;
4. If the wiring is single-phase, then the wire must have three conductors, if three-phase - then five;
5. Electrical outlet and cable are selected based on the characteristics of the network and the parameters of a particular electric stove;
6. The stationary plate does not need additional protection with the help of a UZO, especially since this device can successfully replace an automatic protective switch.

Installation of the outlet for the Electrolux electric stove and other brands can be carried out on any surface that is resistant to heat and does not propagate combustion (coating for gypsum-fiber sheets, concrete, brick). Wood and siding panels are not suitable.

How to choose

The classification of these devices is made according to the technical characteristics, the type of installation and the size. With technical parameters, everything is clear, the taps can have different amperage and permissible power. By the form of sockets for electric stoves are of three types : hidden installation, overhead, combined.

1. Hidden installation - the installation of the underside is carried out in the hole in the wall, due to which the working surface of the outlet is completely hidden. This greatly increases the safety and integrity of the product;

2. Overhead - unlike the embedded installation, they are mounted on top of the bends. This is a more convenient option, if you do not want to make a hole in the wall, they will be visible above the wall. In addition, their tightness is somewhat reduced, moisture, dust and grease, which often end up on the kitchen walls, can get under the case;
3. Combined. They are more complex models hidden. In addition to mounting the plug into the wall opening, they are additionally protected by a cover, thanks to which the built-in contacts are protected from the influence of external aggressive factors.

By design, the model can be double and single. Professional electricians recommend installing double ones with higher power than the stove needs. Then, if necessary, it will be possible to install an additional oven, refrigerator, hood or other electrical appliances.

Instructions on how to install a socket for electric 32 A and 40 A into a 220 V (1 phase) and 380 V (3 phase) network:

1. Both internal and external models are connected directly through the plate terminals. To gain access to them, you need to unscrew the cover behind the appliance and remove the protection;
2. The connection is made only between contacts of the same color (if color marking is used). For a single-phase network, a phase (red wire) is required to be connected to the terminals, between which it is advisable to additionally install special jumpers;
3. Sometimes, instead of jumpers, loops of wire of a suitable diameter are used; on average, it must be more than 6 mm;
4. At the same time to install a tap into the power network 380 is not required to use jumpers. Phase wires are directly connected to the terminals. Keep track of the sequence number and color marking;
5. If the plug has a ground contact, the adapter also connects to ground. To do this, install the ground wire on the highest terminal (PE), as in the photo below.

Also sometimes there are situations when you need to move the outlet for the electric stove from one place in the house to another. The transfer is made in the same way as the wiring. You will need a wiring diagram for which you need to make new holes in the walls. After preparing the opening, you need to get the wires from the old place and carefully pull them into a new one. You may need to use an additional tap.
