\"\"You can never have enough sockets in your house. But even if you have generously installed as many sockets as you can \u2013 there will definitely be one missing later, exactly where it is needed. Especially in the kitchen, a missing socket quickly becomes noticeable as a loss of comfort. So we have to do it again – and do this work at the same time as our renovation. The good thing is: you don\u2019t have to call an electrician to install and connect another socket \u2013 because we will show you how easy it really is with a little skill and the right tools at hand …<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Even as a \u2018DIY-er\u2019 or handyman, you can do some work on electronics yourself, as long as you follow a few important basic rules. The most important rule is: safety comes first! This is because touching just one wire in an electrical installation can be enough to give you a life-threatening electric shock. Therefore, the electrical circuit you are working on must first be disconnected from the power supply, and secondly, tested with a reliable measuring device. Furthermore, installation work on fuses should only ever be carried out by licensed electricians.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, you can get reliable and absolutely precise measuring devices form Trotec: on the one hand, the two-pole voltage tester BE20<\/strong><\/a> as the optimal measuring device for every handyman and electrician. Secondly, the Digital rmultimeter BE50<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 with a multitude of measuring functions, these measuring devices are suitable for the most diverse areas of applications involving electricity and electronics, both in the commercial and semi-professional sector.<\/p>\n

The socket installation \u2013 this is how it works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Please note before starting: depending on the region, you may only be allowed to install additional plug sockets after fitting fuse protection in the form of a residual current circuit breaker (FI). If in doubt, ask your local electrician!<\/p>\n
