Sockets

Purpose and types of sockets

A socket is a special connector in a wall or other surface designed for quick and safe connection to the mains. The electrical plug of a device is connected to the power source via sockets. The device has sockets with contacts for connecting to the mains wires: phase and neutral.

This key element of the electrical network has a fairly simple design. It consists of a plastic casing, contact holes and internal contacts. Depending on the type of installation, sockets can be built-in, partially hidden in the wall, and used in standard wiring. External surface-mounted models are installed in open wiring systems.

Depending on the type of contacts, devices are divided into standard, grounded, and USB. All types of sockets are designed for the safe transmission of electricity. Household appliances such as electric kettles, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. are connected through such devices. Grounded models protect against overvoltage and short circuits. Power options are used for powerful industrial equipment.

On the VADA website, you can buy sockets for farms that are safe for use in poultry and livestock facilities. These models are protected from moisture and comply with connection standards for construction and industry.

The company offers a wide range of electrical equipment for the optimal organisation and stable operation of poultry farms and livestock complexes. High-quality equipment for electrical networks guarantees the safety and protection of devices and systems from power surges in the network. The use of correctly selected sockets eliminates the risk of emergencies and fires.

Advantages of modern sockets

Modern sockets have a number of advantages in terms of safety, functionality and design.

Convenient and effective models integrate perfectly into home interiors as well as utility rooms. On the website, you can buy a socket for poultry and livestock farming with the following advantages:

• safety of use;
• convenience and comfort of connecting devices;
• durability and reliability of materials;
• compatibility with various electrical appliances.

The models are protected against overheating and current leakage. The advantages of functionality include the presence of USB ports, timers, and smart control functions. The modern design of the devices saves space, improves aesthetics, and ensures ease of use.

Safety and functionality of modern sockets

The RCD socket model has built-in protection against short circuits, overvoltage and current leakage. The USB port allows you to charge any gadget without an adapter. A special wattmeter function indicates the power consumption of devices. This helps to control overall energy consumption. To save energy, timers are installed in the sockets, which automatically turn off the devices at a set time. Smart functions are designed for remote control of equipment via smartphone apps.

Ergonomics and design of sockets

Built-in or surface-mounted options allow you to choose the most ergonomic model. Modern sockets can be mounted on walls or other surfaces. This method saves space and allows for the safe operation of electrical devices. The presence of light indicators makes the socket accessible even in the dark.

How to choose sockets?

When choosing a socket, you need to consider its installation location, functionality, and protection and safety parameters. The price and design of the socket are also important factors. What to consider before choosing and buying a socket:

• the type and power of the electrical devices that will be connected;
• the material and quality of the socket;
• the presence of grounding or USB ports.

The choice of sockets for domestic and industrial needs will differ. Domestic models should blend harmoniously into the interior. The presence of light indicators, USB ports, safety plugs and surge protection increases ease of use.

The equipment of poultry houses has its own specifics. When installing the electrical network, it is worth noting how many devices are to be connected and what their power is. For poultry farming, it is better to choose power sockets with grounding for connecting high-power equipment. Such sockets can withstand higher currents.

Poultry houses, cowsheds, and piggeries are equipped with electrical equipment to support automated feeding and watering processes. A healthy microclimate must be maintained in the premises, for which a ventilation system is installed. Poultry farms and livestock farms operate a large amount of electrical equipment that requires safe connection. In areas where birds or animals are fed and watered, it is advisable to install sockets with a high degree of protection against moisture and mechanical impact.

Electrical equipment for livestock and poultry farming must be protected from moisture and dust, as well as aggressive environments (ammonia). The following requirements also apply to electrical equipment:

• resistance to a wide range of temperatures;
• energy efficiency;
• presence of sensors;
• safety and uninterrupted operation;
• environmental friendliness.

The installation of electrical networks in poultry houses and in the livestock sector has its own characteristics. These are specific requirements for lighting. The spectrum and intensity of light affect the health and productivity of livestock. The requirements for electrical equipment in poultry houses are safety for poultry and personnel, stability of operation and energy efficiency. Therefore, the correct choice of devices that provide these parameters is very important.

Electrical networks in poultry and livestock farming are characterised by increased power and require specialised equipment. Professional consultants at VADA will help you select power cables and plugs, adapters, distribution boards and switches. Thanks to such equipment, automated ventilation, feeding and watering systems will be reliably protected from power surges and short circuits. Optimally selected components ensure stable operation of systems, help achieve energy efficiency and significantly reduce electricity costs.
