Good evening everyone.
First, I would like to briefly introduce myself and explain my plans in order to receive the necessary knowledge and tips from you.
So. My name is Marco, I am 29 years old and by profession an automotive mechanic with various additional training, including high-voltage systems in vehicles.
Since I bought a house from the year 1958 and accordingly the electrical installation is old, I would like to gradually renew all the electrical wiring in the house. Not all at once but step by step, and as a primary goal, first my main rooms. (Living room, kitchen, bathroom, office, bedroom) Since I am also quite a big tech enthusiast, I want to keep some options open to possibly make retrofits later. Whoever is still reading this text has almost made it J
Currently, there is a main distribution box with a meter in the house. About 6 circuit breakers. My plan is: to first install a sub-distribution box on each floor with heavy current (3 phases). On the 1st floor are the living room, kitchen, office, hallway. In the kitchen, logically, there should be a stove and a small instantaneous water heater... etc. My questions are as follows:
1.
Which cable cross-sections are required or prescribed for:
stove, small instantaneous water heater approx. 10 kW, lighting, sockets, rising main from main fuse box to distribution box. Rising main to the 2nd floor from the main fuse box to the distribution box. (Here later an instantaneous water heater with approx. 30 kW as well as an air conditioner will be installed. Much later .-) maybe also solar energy on the roof.
2. What minimum distances should be maintained between different cables such as power, network, satellite, etc. to avoid interference.
3. Where must or should conduit pipes be laid.
4. Am I allowed to combine high voltage (230 V) and low voltage (12 V..24 V) in the distribution box?
5. Perhaps further tips or things I should pay attention to according to standards (VDE etc.) when laying and connecting cables? So that I can also get, if necessary, the important stamp from the master electrician for me...
You don’t necessarily have to list the instructions about working on live electrical systems now. J As mentioned, I have additional training in high-voltage systems in vehicles, which sometimes exceed 20 kV. I am certainly aware of the dangers and precautions. Even if the two things cannot really be compared J As help for the work, my grandpa, who is an electrician, is still available. But he is not familiar with today’s standards. He stopped somewhere around 1970 J “Boy, two fuses per floor are absolutely enough. What do you want to connect there…” According to this motto, I am looking for answers from professionals or those who know exactly about this and can answer my necessary questions.
I thank you in advance .-)
