Electrical products that must be present in your inventory

The electrical materials you need to have are :

1. Incandescent , halogen and LED bulbs

The incandescent lamp is a major electrical product due to its high market turnover and low price . However , it is low -light , as it only provides 1000 hours of useful life , not counting the large amounts of energy it consumes and the heat it generates in the environment, so it is not considered an environmentally friendly product .

On the other hand, halogens are considered a development of regular incandescent lamps , and the difference between them is that they provide the customer with twice the useful life of traditional lamps (2000 and 4000 hours), as the light beam is more glowing and brighter .

1. LED bulbs​

LED technology is billed as the new generation of energy and the future in lighting at home and anywhere . Not only because of its long life ( between 60,000 and 100,000 hours), but also because it is a bright light with low power consumption and does not emit heat .

1. Ballasts

This electrical product maintains a constant current flow for fluorescent lamps although there are various types - among the more traditional electromagnetic types - electronic types cannot be missing from their stock . These are used in fluorescent lamps and high intensity discharge lamps , which are highly marketed in the market .

1. Double cable

Duplex cable consists of two parallel lines connected by electrical extensions , usually for residential installations or in places where the electrical voltage is less than 300 volts ( watts ). Usually made of copper and aluminium , double - stranded cables are electrical connectors that ca n't be missing in your electrical store .

1. Wires

It is the most famous commercial wire and has two types : copper and aluminum . Both are commonly used for residential circuits leading to an electrical outlet or switch .

1. Electrical panels

This device works to protect each circuit in which electrical installations are divided .​​

1. Breakers

These electrical products are specially designed to protect low - voltage networks and devices from overload or short circuit .

1. Switches and ports

There are many types of switches on the market . From the simple switch , which turns the power on and off, to the latest computer - controlled switches .

As for the outlets , there are some outlets for the kitchen and bathroom . Since they are damp areas, they require some type of special blocking device that helps reduce electrical leakage . Likewise, there are sockets with child protection which, through a device, prevent objects from falling into the openings .

1. Connecting pipes

It connects and protects electrical cables .​ They are made of PVC of different diameters allowing greater resistance to impacts . Its material allows the tube to resist acids and other corrosive agents , effectively protecting all wires for years .

1. Valves

They are devices that prevent the passage of electric current when it reaches a very high level and thus avoid accidents in electrical appliances .

1. Insulating tape

Mainly used to insulate electrical wires and cable connections . The tape is made of thin PVC , generally 14 mm wide .

1. Electrical installations

Extension cords are pieces of flexible electrical cable with a plug at one end and one or more outlets at the other , which serve to lengthen an electrical connection .
