Socket block

Loks for sockets are used to connect multiple devices in one place. Basically, this solution is suitable for a bathroom or kitchen. One block has 4 to 8 seats.

Order blocks for sockets and other electrical goods on the website of the manufacturer Ekoplast. Low prices, discounts for wholesale buyers and delivery throughout Russia.

Design features

The design is a housing with electrical connectors. Some models have grounding pins and a protective cover. This prevents dust and moisture from entering the outlet and reduces the chance of short circuits.

The block for sockets is used to connect several low-power appliances: refrigerator, hood, small household appliances. If you need to organize power grids in a living room, then usually the units are installed near the device with the highest electricity consumption - behind the TV or near the desks.

For bathrooms, blocks with moisture-resistant housings and a protective cover are purchased. The minimum distance from the water source to the outlets for safety reasons should be at least 60 cm.

Block types

The block differs from a regular outlet only in the number of seats. The plastic box already contains all the internal elements: terminal blocks and contacts, springs for plugs, grounding contacts.

There are two types of blocks on sale:

1. Concealed or recessed into the wall. The recessed blocks are mounted into the wall at the initial stage of construction. This option is suitable for hidden wiring. This type of electrical wiring is used in crowded institutions and children's organizations to protect people from electric shock.
2. Wall mounted. They are installed on walls or ceilings with exposed wiring. The sockets themselves are fixed on self-tapping screws.

For residential premises, they also purchase built-in blocks. They are mounted in furniture: kitchen cabinet, work table.

Installation features

Socket blocks are attached to the surface in two ways:

1. Daisy chain - if the load on the unit does not exceed 16 A. Installation is carried out inside walls or in cable ducts.
2. Combined (with parallel connection). Installers lay 2 branches - one performs the function of a regular loop, the second is designed for loads over 16 A.

When choosing a product, the maximum power of the connected load is taken into account. The Ekoplast website presents blocks with a load of up to 16 and up to 32A.
