Project Summary

Recently, I went to someone's house and connected a new socket board for their house. While installing it, I showed them step by step how to connect it safely and ensure power to other electronic devices, including the fridge. In this post, I will share my experience and explain each step.

Cause of the problem and solution plan

The homeowner said that he had bought a new fridge, and it became necessary to install a new socket board inside his house. First, the power connection was turned off to ensure safety. Then, the location of the new board was determined. I used a tester to connect the power line to the socket board, so that the connection was made correctly.

Conclusion

By doing this work, I have shown practical experience of installing a socket board. This is a very important work, because ensuring a safe power connection is essential for every home. I hope this experience will be helpful to many, especially those who want to connect a new socket board.

I am going to start my tutorial post.

Step -01

First, as you can see, I took a three-plug socket board from the Superstar company, and it has an indicator switching system. Then, I took a screwdriver, insulation tape, a tester, and pliers to work. Then I opened the socket board from the packet and observed how to connect it on the back side. Because, it is important to check everything properly before connecting.

Step -02

Then I am showing you the front part of the socket board. First, there is a red indicator light, which lights up when the power connection is active. Then there is a switch, which is used to turn the board on and off. Then there is a two-pin plug connection system, which is suitable for normal plug connections. Also, two separate ports are connected for connecting three-pin plugs, which are used for appliances that require more power. Now I will start the work of connecting the lines to the socket board. In the first step, I cut and prepared a small wire for the switching connection, which will ensure the connection of the live line.

Step -03

Then you can see, I have cut the small wire that I have cut, spread the plastic cover on both sides, and taken out the inner copper wire, so that it is ready for connection to the socket board. After that, I have made the connections inside the board. If you notice, you can see that I have connected the wire from the output of the switching to the live line, which will conduct the power flow properly.

Step -04

Then, as you can see, I have connected the 220 volt wire of the live line to the input voltage of the switching. Besides, I have connected the black wire of the 220 volt input voltage to the neutral end, which will ensure the correct balance of the power flow. After connecting everything properly, I have firmly fixed the back cover with the help of screws, so that the board is safe and functional.

Step -05

Then I completed the work by completing the wiring of the entire socket board and attaching the back cover. As you can see, I took a picture of it in my hand, so that the complete setup of the board can be clearly understood. Then, to connect the live line and neutral line directly from the meter, I spread the plastic cover of the replaced wires on the socket board, so that the inner copper wire is ready for connection.

Step -06

Then, to finish my entire work properly, you can see that I have neatly connected the live line and neutral line from the meter to the socket board. Then, I insulated it with black plastic tape, so that there is no short circuit or power connection problem. Finally, after completing the connection of the socket board to the 220 volt line, I connected the refrigerator line, and the refrigerator started. To make sure, I made a short video, so that it can be understood that the socket board is working properly.
