Considering the future

> Consider multiple furniture layouts in living

areas and bedrooms. As an example you

may want to rearrange the furniture in your

lounge,butdiscover thatthe wiring foryour

TVorstereosystemisontheothersideofthe

roomfromitsnewposition.Toavoidunsightly

extension leads, use structured cabling and

planforoutletsinseverallocations.

> Ifmembersofyourfamilyhavespecialneeds,

considerstylesofswitchesandsocketoutlets

that are easy to use, and place them in

positionsthatbestcaterfortheirrequirements.

> Youmaynotownthemnow,butthinkofwhat

electrical appliances you may want in the

futureandwheretheywouldbelocated.

Ensureyoudiscuss

needswithwhoever

isoverseeingthe

electricalinstallation.

Starting out

When first approaching your electrical plan,

considerthesebasictips:

> Utilising different colours and plate finishes

canchangethewholelookofyourhome.

> Whenselectingyoursocketoutlets,trytobe

consistentwiththeirorientation(i.e.verticalor

horizontal)throughoutyourhome.

> Positionlightswitchesconvenientlyforwhen

youre entering or leaving rooms, and when

locatinglightswitchesbesidedoorwaystake

care tonotewhich way the door swings so

yourswitchisnotobstructedwhenthedoor

isopen.

> Light dimmers are great additions to those

areas of the home where its desirable to

create different moods with lower light level

settings.

> Switches dont always have to be next to

the appliance theyre controlling. They may

be better placed in the most conveniently

accessiblelocation.

*Protect yourself against electrocution

Safety switches / RCDs

Frayed cords, faulty wiring, dampness andother

hazards can contribute to a potentially lethal

situation. Fortunately, Residual Current Devices

(commonly known as RCDs or safety switches)

offer personal protection againstelectrocution by

cuttingoffthepowerwithinjustafewthousandths

ofasecond.

Various models suit different applications

from switchboard mounted products for home

protection, outdoor extension leads for power

tools,andRCDpowerpointsforbathrooms.

Protect your electronic devices

Surge arrestors

Powersurgesofvariousdegreesareunavoidablein

thedeliveryofelectricitytoyourhome.Depending

on the type, duration, and size of these surges,

irreparable damage can be done to unprotected

electronic equipment such as computers,

televisions, and stereos. Insurance companies

oftenexcludeanysuchdamageintheirpolicies.

Peace of mind for parents Shuttered sockets

Many Schneider Electric sockets feature inbuilt

shutters which effectively close off the socket

pinholeswhenaplugisremoved.Thisadditional

protectionprovidespeaceofmindforparentswith

toddlers,whomaytryinsertingaforeignobjectinto

Further protection from electric shock

Waterproof switches

Waterproof switches provide further protection

from electric shock in case a family member

Convenience and safety Light sensors

Sensor controlled lights add convenience and

safetytoyourhome.Outside,theylightuppaths

to criminal activities. Inside, they are great for

have a test button.

Please test them

regularly to ensure

they are working
