Electricity

342,00

Do you want to learn how to install a complete home electrical system? For example, what the function of a fuse box or electricity meter is? You will learn how to read an electrical drawing and how to install a wall socket, two-way switch, doorbell, and (outdoor) lighting according to the current NEN1010 standard. Additionally, you will learn how to lay conduits, pull wires, make soldered connections, and, of course, the theory behind the elusive phenomenon called electricity. This way, you can get to work safely and confidently at home and locate and resolve minor faults yourself.
