## installation of a camshaft
The distribution shield is, in fact, the heart of the electric system of any house or apartment. He is responsible for the safe distribution of electricity at all consumption points. The correct installation of the shield is the key to comfort and safety, so this process must be approached with all seriousness. Despite the apparent complexity, it is quite possible to understand the basic principles of installation even without a special education.
### Preparation for installation: where to start?
Before starting installation, it is necessary to prepare all the necessary materials and tools. You will need the distribution shield itself (select it in accordance with the power of your network and the number of machine guns), protection machines (devices that turn off the electricity during overload or short circuit), wires of the corresponding section, mounting box, fasteners, tools (screwdrivers, nippers, voltage indicator). Pay special attention to the choice of wires: their cross section must correspond to the power of the connected devices in order to avoid overheating and fire. Never start work without de -energizing the network! This is the most important safety rule.
### installation and connection: step by step to success
After preparation, you can start installing. First, it is necessary to fix the distribution shield on the wall in a convenient and accessible place. Typically, dowels and screws are used for this. Then, wires from an introductory machine to each individual machine that protects a specific consumer group (for example, lighting, sockets in the kitchen) are carefully laid. It is important to observe the color marking of the wires and use the terminals for a reliable connection. After connecting all the machines, carefully check the correctness of all connections. Make sure again that all wires are securely fixed and do not create a danger.
### The final stage: checking and security
After completing the installation, it is necessary to check the operability of the shield. Turn on the voltage and check each machine in turn, convinced of its correct work. Use the voltage indicator to check the absence of voltage on the switches. Remember that amateur performances are dangerous. If you doubt your abilities, it is better to contact a qualified specialist. A properly mounted distribution shield is a guarantee of safe and uninterrupted operation of the power grid of your home. Do not save on safety!
