The modern kitchen appliances scores, for each of which the outlet is required. We tell you exactly how to calculate the required number of outlets of any of them are forgotten, and how to hide a socket in the interior.

So how much?

Sockets should be so much to do without any extension during cooking. Recalculate all the techniques that are planning to install in the kitchen - built separately and small household. Sockets for the first to be constantly engaged, and for the second - from time to time.

Which socket to choose?

Sockets for low power home appliances can be grouped and connected to a single line.

But we should not be installed on one machine more powerful devices, such as the oven and ceramic hob, kettle and microwave, fridge and freezer, washer and dryer the car. This can cause the heating cable and short circuit.

Where to install?

Three sockets with a pair of jacks in different corners of the food is always better than six slots in a single line. In addition, it is necessary to take care of an outlet near the sill. This will allow to set aside a technique that turns on for a long time, such as bread machine or multivarku.
