What is an electrical wiring harness used for?
An electrical wiring harness is a pre-wired, ready-to-install electrical installation that distributes electricity throughout all the rooms of a residential or commercial building.
It comes as a kit comprising one or more junction boxes connected to conduits containing electrical wires. These electrical wires are used to install switches, power sockets, etc. In practical terms, the wiring harness is connected to the electrical panel installed on the Housing Technical Duct (GTL) and connects the electrical panel to other equipment (mechanical ventilation, water heater, etc.).
It is a custom and complete electrical installation. It is designed according to the building’s electrical installation plan – or architectural plan: the length of the conduits and electrical wires is calculated according to the layout of the rooms.
Among the many advantages of an electrical wiring harness are its economic and practical benefits:
- Installation is quick and easy: 2 days are enough to install the electrical wiring harness
- It can halve the cost of your installation
The ready-to-install electrical wiring harness considerably speeds up and simplifies electrical installation in the home.
What exactly is a home automation wiring harness?
Today, home automation lies at the heart of the home, whether in terms of comfort, energy or security. The word “domotics” comes from “domus”, meaning “home”, and the suffix “-tics”, referring to technology.
What is home automation?
Home automation is the set of techniques and technologies used to control, programme and automate a home. Known for being easy to install and programme, home automation is an advanced residential technology that is becoming more widely available and is being fitted in an increasing number of homes.
It can control most electrical appliances and devices in a house or building: lighting, heating, audiovisual or household appliances, roller shutters and alarm systems.
Home automation provides simple, practical and intuitive solutions to energy-saving, security and comfort issues. It centralises control of the various electrical devices in a residential or commercial building (care homes, offices, shops, etc.).
In response to new requirements for comfort and thermal regulations, the home automation wiring harness appears to be the ideal alternative to the electrical wiring harness.
The home automation wiring harness, for a smart electrical installation
The home automation wiring harness makes the electrical installation smart.
A home automation wiring harness is an electrical wiring harness that incorporates home automation pre-wiring, enabling all the electrical equipment in a house or building to be controlled remotely.
You can then control all equipment connected to the wiring harness from a mobile application, tablet or computer. The entire electrical system of the house passes through this connected wiring harness, so you can control absolutely everything in your home, rather than just a few sockets into which you have plugged a module.
The home automation wiring harness can be supplied as a kit. It then consists of an assembled, programmed and wired electrical panel, the wiring harness system grouping together the conduits pre-wired with BUS cable and the junction boxes, as well as the installation equipment.
A comprehensive, simple and cost-effective solution
Designed for both professionals and private individuals, the home automation wiring harness simplifies the implementation of smart-home technologies.
- It enables electricians to offer sophisticated electrical installations while simplifying installation through detailed installation plans
- It offers builders a smart alternative while keeping costs under control: there is no longer any need for two separate installations
- It gives the end customer a highly efficient turnkey installation and a smart home that adapts to their requirements
A home automation wiring harness to programme, or a ready-to-install electrical and home automation system? Electrical wiring harness manufacturers can advise you and offer economical installations that are easy to fit.
To produce the kit, if you are not an electrical expert, you can use an electrical wiring harness manufacturer who will support you in carrying out the project and complying with standards. Wiring harness designers use machines such as an automatic industrial pre-wiring machine which saves a considerable amount of time when inserting wires into electrical conduits and thereby optimises production time.
