Knob and Tube Wires

In more seasoned homes it is normal to experience handle and tube wiring in dividers, roofs, and floors. In the event that you are rebuilding or repairing your home and will tie into your current electrical framework you should first make certain that you're existing framework is skilled to deal with the heap. On the off chance that you have a handle and tube electrical framework it isn't encouraged to re-utilize the handle and tube wires nor is it encouraged to tie into the current framework. Handle and tube wiring framework was the first 'in-divider' electrical framework and worked awesome until the point that individuals began placing protection in dividers and roofs. Handle and tube wiring frameworks commonly are not grounded effectively, and when they are grounded it is typically dishonorably fixing to the water channels which could conceivably give the homes running water an electrical charge. Envision going to wash your hands and ZAP! This is the reason we are attempting to dispense with handle and tube wiring any place conceivable. 

Bear in mind to kill the ability to the wires you will chip away at, and watch that there is no present going through them after the juice has been cut by utilizing a power analyzer. The best possible approach is to follow the individual wires back to their closest glass or porcelain encasing, and cut them there. Tape off the finish of the exposed wire with vinyl electrical tape, and wrap the entire cover with tape to guarantee security. 

Another adequate approach to end the wires is in an available administration confine the divider (wires ought to dependably be topped and taped in the administration box). I have had individuals disclose to me that there are still laws on the code books that say it is legitimate to interface or end handle and tube wires within a divider cavity without an available box. I get a kick out of the chance to remind those individuals that handle and tube was not planned to be utilized as a part of dividers with fiberglass protection. After the wire is securely ended, you can run another 'grand slam' to the panel with 12-2 romex wire. In the event that you are managing an out dated electrical panel you might need to consider up evaluating your administration panel or running a sub panel. On the off chance that you have a cutting edge panel with a moderately extensive primary breaker yet are out of space, than a sub panel might be a decent arrangement. In the event that you don't have a decent broad comprehension of power you are encouraged to CONSULT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
