Contrary to popular belief, the wiring of a commercial building is considered specialized work because it may cause irreparable risks if performed incorrectly.

What is the wiring?

Wiring provides electricity to the desired spaces and lights up the environment. So, it would be best if you had electrical tools that are appropriate and of high quality.

Today, commercial building wiring is so detailed that you can consider it a specialized job. KCS Group Company has experienced professionals in its team who can wire your commercial building with complete safety.

What does the wiring of a commercial building include?

We usually need complex electrical panels, suitable high-voltage cables, several electrical outlets and standard electrical tools for a commercial building. We determine the location of the outlets according to the furniture and the placement of tables and chairs.

It is usually placed next to the electrical socket, telephone socket, network socket and antenna socket (if needed), which we calculate according to the available spaces.

For commercial building lighting design, we have a great variety of lights, for example, surface or built-in LED panel lights, built-in halogen lights, rail lights, chandeliers, and wall lights that we choose according to the use of the commercial building.

In commercial buildings, the cooling and heating system is generally supplied through HVAC, which we, as electricians, have the task of providing electricity to.

Other items such as elevators, ventilators, camera racks, electrical, industrial tools, and shop window advertising boards are among the things that must be wired, and according to the employer’s opinion, we provide electricity for them.

How is the wiring of a commercial building done?

We do wiring the commercial building in two ways: concealed and open. I will explain both methods below.

• The concealed wiring method, generally a standard method for building wiring, includes various steps such as carving, canning, and piping. Finally, we cover the pipes with plaster, tiles, or stone. This method is more secure and beautiful than the open wiring method.

• In the open wiring method, as the name suggests, we perform wiring with standard electrical tools on the wall and ceiling. We have special equipment to carry out the work on the surface, such as duct, metal pipe, Flexi pipe, and cable tray.

Building wiring by concealed duct method

The concealed duct is the method we usually use in building wiring. Of course, as I said, we may not use one wiring method in a commercial building and typically use a combination of different ways. In this wiring method, internal ducts are placed in ceilings and walls and are not visible. Therefore, in many buildings, we use this type of wiring to maintain the beauty of the interior design and make the wiring look professional.

Commercial building owners are interested in using this type of wiring for aesthetic reasons. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, many electrical contractors, like the experts at KCS Group, believe that wiring a building with a conduit has much more protective power. Consult an expert to determine which electrical system is right for you.

Our electrical contractors will usually recommend the best method for you and use several ways if necessary. These specialists examine various factors to achieve the best results.

Choosing the suitable power cable for building wiring

Cables and wires are the essential electrical components of buildings, and you should be careful in choosing them. Buying the wrong cables can lead to irreparable financial and life risks. Therefore, you should ensure that the cable or wire you purchase is high quality and not fake. One of the criteria of a quality cable is that the cable is not damaged.

You can also pay attention to the production date when buying cables and wires because, over time, lines lose their quality. Another factor affecting cable quality is sunlight, which causes cable decay. Low-quality wires are one of the most important causes of fires worldwide.

Every year, many people worldwide are endangered and lose their lives due to fires caused by improper and low-quality cables. The use of low-quality electrical conductors and inappropriate coatings will cause these fires.

What are the steps of commercial building wiring?

The wiring of a commercial building is a long process that continues from the beginning of the construction project to its end, and we complete it step by step. The steps of wiring the building include the following:

• First, we draw the commercial building map and wire it according to the map.

• We use the level line to determine the location of switches and sockets.

• We dig the wall and ceiling to place ducts, switches, and sockets.

• We install boxes for switches and sockets on the wall.

• We correctly place the pipes through which the wires pass.

• We wire different parts of commercial building units according to the intended use.

• In the last step, we installed all the switches, sockets, and equipment related to the lighting of the commercial building.

What safety tips should you pay attention to in commercial wiring?

Because the wiring of a commercial building is considered one of the main parts of electrical services, and if you do not do it carefully, it can cause irreparable damages, it is necessary to follow the principles and rules when wiring your commercial building. Pay attention to these tips.
