[Solved] Best Cable for 6 External Roller Blinds: 4x1.5 vs 5x1.5 Wires, Switchboard & Drivers

Hello, I am at the stage of building a house. I am planning to install up to 6 external roller shutters. The installation will be led to one switchboard with drivers. Which cable is best to use 4 or 5 wires?

It is always better to use a 5-wire cable.

Or better six, and that's not my last word
In fact, the choice of cabling depends on how these blinds are and what the colleague intends to control. Sample topic: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic1732366.html

Ordinary blinds, the cheapest up and down. The best control is a phone or a tablet. I don't have a selected system yet. Installation for now.

Archive link subject. I guess it has changed a little over the years.

It hasn't changed much. Electricity is still supplied from the wire, and the blinds usually work up and down It does not change that in order to give the right advice you need to know the exact requirements and that you still have to drag users by the language to say something more. The changes are only that with each subsequent question of this type I become more and more grumpy (or maybe just with age), but not malicious, because I would still like to help, but not on the principle: "you will be pleased" Is a colleague planning, for example, some local buttons on the roller shutters, or only control from remote controls or telephone? Why the system with the controllers located centrally and not locally in the boxes next to the roller shutters? What are these drivers? From which this choice comes from. Why won't he consult it with the roller shutter supplier, and if he has already done it, why won't a colleague present this concept to us for discussion
greetings

The buttons will be next to the light switch. Central at the entrance. Such a driver

Possibly Zamel. Maybe some hints suggestions? At the moment I have decided to run a 5x1.5 cable to each point.

Of the last three roller shutter installations, in each of them I put a 5x1.5 fixed L cable for remote control + G / D / N / PE

Is it for the fungus that a colleague plans to buy drivers mounted to cans?

The cable has some kind of beginning or end (or if you prefer two ends It is not enough to say where it happened, but also where it came from. (in report) Maybe a friend will draw what he wants to do?

If a colleague does not know what he wants yet and the motors in the roller blinds will be

is 4x1.5 from each roller shutter motor to the switchgear and 4x1.5 from each G / D switch to the switchboard. Remember to leave free space for modules, controller, etc. in the switchgear, depending on the number of roller shutters. Everything can be done with this roller shutter arrangement.

Not only up and down?
Well, the author probably does not know what he wants to do himself, and this 4X cable comes out a bit ...
After all, you can also power all the blinds from one 3X in boxes, next to the blinds, give drivers and pull the cables from them to the buttons

But if you fancy Fateka, Logo! or another PLC system or a clock that controls a roller shutter or a group?
Such a clock needs to be powered ...

Right. I just point out a certain inconsistency in cabling and the selection of equipment ...
But don't forget that when it comes to central control, the author chose Fiu-Fi drivers (or maybe Wi-Fi? )

The installation is to be able to be modified later. This driver was an example. Ultimately, I will want to control the phone or the clock remote control, maybe some "smart home" module. The cost of the wires is irrelevant. Therefore, all the cables to the switchboard will be seen later. The installation is to be exaggerated. I was thinking about twisted pair comp. then there would be a lot of room for maneuver.

I am still wondering whether to let go of the wires from the wall switches to the switchboard or to the blind. From the switchboard to the 5x1.5 roller blind, these wires will be wifi control, clock, etc. And the wires from the GD Stop switches. Only the central switch for the switchgear. But will all the cables to the switchgear be better?

To the switchboard.

And how will you protect yourself against accidentally applying voltage to both directions of the engine?

You can like this



4x1.5mm2 cable from the switchboard to the switch, from the switchboard to the 5x1.5mm2 roller shutter.
The principle of operation is simple, when the roller shutter is controlled by the module in the switchgear, the switch is de-energized.
If the wireless control is damaged, the blinds will operate via the switch anyway.

@ mawerix123
Did your colleague read the previous posts carefully?
To the user @ grippen123 it was about:

Thanks to everyone for your help.
