Designing House Wiring & Digital Diagram App

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around guidelines for designing house wiring and the need for an application to create digital diagrams of such designs. It touches on aspects of electrical codes, load calculations, and professional standards in the context of residential electrical installations.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks guidelines for designing house wiring and a digital application for diagramming.
  • Another participant suggests using CAD software and refers to the importance of adhering to local electrical codes.
  • A different participant emphasizes that wire size selection is influenced by various factors such as load, length, installation method, and local regulations.
  • One participant reiterates the request for guidelines and a digital application, while also recommending hiring a licensed professional engineer for the design and a licensed electrician for installation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of views, with some emphasizing the complexity of house wiring design and the necessity of professional involvement, while others focus on the tools and software that could assist in the design process. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific guidelines and applications needed.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific assumptions regarding local regulations, the dependence on definitions of wire sizing, and the absence of detailed steps for the design process.

I want guideline to design house wiring. Also need an application by which the design diagram can be digitized.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
That would be CAD software and the electrical code of your country.

It's so not that simple. Even something apparently simple like the wire size depends on the load, length, method of installation and local regulations.

Perhaps look for a training course?

Please hire a licensed professional engineer to do the design for you, and use a licensed electrician to do the installation and have the building code inspections signed off. Thread is closed.
