    Hello,
    I think I have an electrical problem.
    Now that I'm slowly starting to arrange things, I've noticed that I have the entire attic in the sockets on one fuse. 4 separate rooms with sockets is one fuse. Total 22 sockets with separate wires. Is it well made? In an old apartment, for each room I had one fuse for lighting, one for sockets. And in the new house I have one fuse for all the lights and another for all the sockets.
    Is there a rule/law that governs this? I'm a bit pissed off...
    Regards.

    I don't think you use a washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc. in the attic, so with a grain of salt, you can say that this number will pass. Except that since there are already 4 rooms in the attic, they could finally make 4 fuses. If you say that separate wires go to all sockets, then add 3 more fuses and as much as it annoys you.

    Hey, the bathroom is separate.
    These 22 outlets are 2 children's rooms and a bedroom with a dressing room. So in a few years, there may be 3 TV sets, some lamps, decoders, etc. at the same time in the evening. I'm more concerned with practice. It will trip the child's fuse, the whole mountain is out of power..

    The fuse protects the installation behind the fuse (viewed from the meter side) and not the receivers.
    If the fuse has been selected in accordance with the art and the total current of all receivers does not exceed the rated current of the fuse, the fuse will not open.
    However, if a child makes a short circuit somewhere or too many receivers are connected at the same time, "there will be no electricity on the whole mountain"
    Out of curiosity - what fuse is it?

    No more than 10 sockets should be installed on one circuit. So the installation is not quite done right. And just out of curiosity. What is the value of this one fuse?

    Overall, I care about this cable because I don't want to do extra work for myself. I will do all future installation in the attic myself. Would it be a good idea to swap the wires on this outgoing? That is, the brown one should be connected to the bus with zero and the blue one to the fuse as a phase departure? And only with insulation on a certain section to change their color? Will there be any problems if this wire is actually pierced somewhere?

    I think my friends got the accounts wrong.
    3.1.2-3.1.3. Do not use multiple accounts on the forum. Such action causes confusion of users and incorrect presentation of statistics.

    If you write such things, it's better to leave the work to professionals than:

    You can "lay" the wires under the supervision of an electrician, but do not take care of the connection.

    First of all, this post is off-topic because I clicked something wrong here. Secondly - the professionals were there and they screwed up a simple job because even the RM is messy. Thirdly, we are in the section - electrics for everyone and as you can see, you boost yourself with such stupid accusations towards people who have little idea about it but are willing to know something more, while you at a higher level may not have what to look for and hence maybe your behavior . Unfortunately, you (electricians) need to be checked because the knowledge is that most are trained to be a monkey, i.e. how to arrange how to connect. As one of them told me that he didn't know how the stair switch connection works for a long time, only when his friend drew it, my hands fell. And he works at Enea!

    The fact that this is the section >electrics for everyone< does not mean that you can break the rules and you have to be able to use the hints. It is often the case that the lack of knowledge is made up for by arrogance.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the electrical setup in an attic where 22 sockets across four rooms are connected to a single fuse. The original poster expresses concern about the adequacy of this configuration, especially considering potential future usage with multiple devices like TVs and lamps. Responses highlight that while a single fuse may suffice under certain conditions, it is generally recommended to limit the number of sockets on one circuit to no more than 10. There are inquiries about the specific fuse rating and the potential risks of overloading the circuit. Suggestions include adding more fuses for safety and caution against DIY electrical work without professional guidance.
