What to put in the switchboard of a village house instead of traffic jams and old machines?

Sergei asks:
What protection devices should be put in a private (village) house instead of the old ones (pictured). I only know that the upper right wire comes from power lines. The need for power is not more than 8 kW.

The answer to the question:
In the photo there are two automatic plugs and two automatic switches AP-50. So you need to install circuit breakers instead. And for good do grounding and remodel the electrical panel, as well as the power supply circuit of the house. If you do not know the purpose of each of the machines - then we are even more so. If the upper right is an input, then it turns out that you have 3 phases?

It’s better to contact an electrician if you don’t know what and how, but if you want to learn about drawing up a circuit board, I recommend that you read this article - https://my.electricianexp.com/en/instrukciya-po-sborke-trexfaznogo-elektroshhita.html and other articles on our website, for example, about wiring in the country, they will also touch on the issue of assembling an electrical panel and provide some solutions

There is a separate article on replacing automatic machines -https://my.electricianexp.com/en/pravilnaya-zamena-avtomaticheskix-vyklyuchatelej-v-shhitke.html

In short, machines are needed like this:

  1. For lighting, enough 6 Amps (B6 or C6);
  2. On sockets no more than 16A (B16 or C16);
  3. On input - according to the allocated power to your home.
  4. If you make grounding - be sure to put RCDs on the sockets besides the machine.

And the need for power is not determined by you, but by the network company based on the capabilities (load on the high-voltage power lines and transformer substations).
