Hello dear forum community,
I am often surprised to see that many homeowners do not put much thought into the electrical planning of their new homes (of course, there are exceptions). Yet, the electrical system is the hidden core of any house.
A bit about me and my background:
I am a trained industrial electrician specializing in operational technology, with a master craftsman certificate in electrical trades. Although I work primarily in industry, I am confident I can handle planning the electrical system for a single-family house. 🙂
What do I want to achieve?
With this thread, I want to help those who lack knowledge a little bit. On one hand, I will explain some basic concepts; on the other, I will offer valuable planning tips. And once I finish the text, I’m looking forward to any discussions that may arise.
A quick note beforehand:
I tend to type quickly and often miss my own mistakes. I’m not very keen on proofreading my posts, so please forgive any typos. I try to follow a rough order in my explanations, but I don’t have a formal structure, so I might jump around in the text. Sorry in advance for that, but I don’t really feel like writing a full guideline.
Enough talking, let’s get started:

Enough talking, let’s get started:
Star topology means that each cable is routed individually to the main distribution board. This offers significant advantages when rewiring or adding automation systems later on.
However, it also involves increased cable and installation effort, and the main distribution board must be planned accordingly larger.
