Electrical installation accessories

What are the essential electrical installation accessories?

There's a lot more to an electrical installation than just cables, electric panels and wall-mounted cabinets. Many more accessories are needed to complete the installation. Here's a quick run-down by category so you don't forget anything:

Junction boxes, Pattress box and fixing accessories... These are all items used to supply your electrical installation and create or extend electrical circuits. While junction boxes are designed to hold connections securely in place, they also play a role in protecting electrical connections against the risks of fire, short-circuits and accidental contact. They can be used in walls, ceilings or floors.

Cabling accessories for cabinets and enclosures: DIN rails. Insulated busbars. Terminal and distribution blocks. Electric wires and cables. Nuts and clips. Without them, your installation simply won't work. 

Electrical connections: End sleeves. Crimp terminals. Terminal strips. Connection boxes. Cable glands. Connection combs. All these accessories link switches/circuit breakers to the other elements of the electrical installation.

To complete your installation, don't forget the additional socket and switch equipment from the Céliane Legrand or Odace Schneider Electric ranges including push-buttons and ventilation switches 

How do you choose your electrical installation accessories?

Above all, we suggest trusting well-known brands, such as Schneider Electric or Legrand:

• Stick to what you know. If you trust a brand and you know exactly how to install and connect the equipment, it can sometimes be quicker for you to continue those familiar products. 
• The practicality of electrical accessories. They are very useful for saving time on a site. 

Most importantly, to ensure adherence to safety and proper practice, it's important to consider the regulations and standards that are set in your country for electrical installations.
