In addition, from Prendeluz we give you some tips for the electrical installation of your house.

What type of cable is used for outdoors?

The electrical material for outdoors must meet a series of conditions that make it sufficiently resistant to adverse external factors. The cable must be copper or aluminum, unipolar or multipolar, with a voltage of 0.6/1kV. In addition, if it is to go below ground, the subway cable must be inside cross-linked polyethylene tubes covered with polyvinyl chloride.

What is needed for an outdoor electrical installation?

An outdoor installation needs, specifically, an electrical material for the garden. With good outdoor electrical equipment you will achieve a safe, durable and efficient installation. In addition, it is essential to carry out the installation with the main switch off and it is advisable to protect yourself with gloves and goggles before starting.

In addition to outdoor electrical wiring and conduit, for an outdoor electrical installation you will need an extendable drum that allows you to extend the electrical cable and bring it to the patio, as well as an outdoor base with several outlets. The base must be resistant to adverse environmental elements, mainly moisture from rain and sudden changes in temperature from snow to extreme heat. An anti-humidity base, such as the ones we offer at Prendeluz, is ideal to avoid unnecessary risks to your safety.

How much does the electrical installation of a 100m2 house cost?

The electrical installation of a 100m2 house requires a large amount of electrical material for exteriors and interiors, so it will cost a little less than 4.000€. Of course everything will depend on the quality of the electrical material used, as well as the cost of labor.

Usually it will be necessary to buy a differential, a surge protector, an earthing system, at least 300m of cable, approximately 200m of cable tubes, switches, junction boxes, an electrical panel and many other electrical accessories.

How to protect electrical cables from rain?

Electrical equipment for the garden must withstand wet conditions caused by rain. To do this, try to locate them in areas with low humidity and use a quality outdoor electrical material, such as Prendeluz. Flexible tubes, helicoidal and braided sheaths, and anti-humidity cable organizers will be necessary, as well as bases with sockets for the cables that resist the rain. The cable should be buried at a depth of about 40 cm, protected inside a tube that insulates it from water.
