Outlet Plan (Amended)

Sunday, 22 November 2009 10:19 by hintzen

This is our first working diagram of our outlet plan and the wiring to the junction box.  I’m supplying it so our builder Highmark Homes NZ and I can talk about it and see if we need to modify anything.

Thanks to Matt Theule for catching my mistake in the Garage, I need an outlet for the washer and dryer, and the garage door opener! 

OK, so I’ve been amending and playing with this outlet plan quite a lot over the past few days (sorry for making you keep looking at) but I think this is it for now.  I’m sure we will make some more modifications after I talk it over with my builder Highmark Homes NZ and our electrician (for now slated to be New Life Electrical Ltd.).  I’m sure I’m missing something, or we’ll have to adjust.

You are probably asking about that electrical detail in the upper left (if not, too bad, I’m going to tell you anyways)

If you look back where we will be living you and zoom out on the google map, you will see that we live out in the wap-waps (boonies to you yanks).  If there is another hurricane Hawkes Bay or the inevitable big earthquake, or other extreme event that could bring down power / power lines, since we are so far out, and have such a low population, if it is a BIG outage, we can count on being low on the list of getting repairs.

So it makes sense to prepare for the worst, a week or more of no power.  What I have planned is the ability to plug in a Generator in the outside Circuit 1 Power Point, flip a switch on the power board, and Isolate the “necessary” Circuit lines from the main bus.  I’ve given myself the fridge / freezer, Oven, HeatPumps, bedroom lights and Main Computer support.

Any plans for network wiring?  Although wireless is effective these days, there is a lot that can be done better over structured wiring.  I ran ~3000 feet (no metric units for me, thanks) of cat6 wiring in an attempt to be able to support 10 Gbps.
I don't see any interior outlets in the garage, not even one for the door opener.  Will it be a manual door? Smile

I'm going to have a seperate plan for Fiber Optic Cable (I'm going to do all fiber optic networking in the house), that will be part of my Multimedia cabling plan.

As for the Garage, you are correct, I forgot to put plugs in there.  Actually after the house is complete I'm going to wire it up myself for a full out wood working shop, but even so I need a plug for the washer and dryer and the door opener!  Good catch!.  I'll have to amend the diagram
