| | | The electric system The electric system can be defined only after the exact position of all the units, of the appliances and of the table have been decided. The plan of the electrical system has the aim of precisely defining all the light points, the sockets, the intercom connections, the thermostats, the | | |
| | | telephone and the TV antenna sockets. This is the only way for the electrician to create a rational and aesthetically pleasing system. Often household appliances are connected to sockets located behind the furniture, at 17.5 cm from the floor, making | | them not very accessible. To guarantee practical socket inspection it is advisable to collect them all together in a single electric board located behind the sink base unit, the only one without a back panel (see page 104). It is from here that the various power supply lines for applian- | | ces and for the back section are managed. It is a good idea to divide the sockets in the electric board and give each a separate switch to prevent a failure of one appliance jeopardising the use of all the other sockets. | | |
