Wiring and Conductor Infrastructure

• Drivers Power: Items that facilitate the transport of electricity between the generator and receiver. Components include: Housing, Interior, Exterior, Deck, Insulation, and Core.
• Pipes: A set of elements that hold and protect electrical conductors from the entrance of a building to the point of consumption.
• Protective Tubes: Cylindrical devices that protect and guide the laying of conductors from the start point to the consumer device.
• Protecting Channels: Plant material consisting of a rectangular profile or flat perforated walls used to house conductors, enclosed by a removable lid.

Connection and Auxiliary Devices

• Auxiliaries for Connection: Devices designed to facilitate the connection between drivers and receivers.
• Diversion Boxes: Used to accommodate the connection of conductors forming the electrical circuit.
• Safe Mechanism: Designed to house control devices for an electrical installation.
• Protection Fund: Designed to house the protective devices of an installation.
• Socket: An electromechanical device that allows the setting and network connection of a lamp.
• Terminal Connection: Auxiliary devices used for the connection of circuit conductors.

Switching and Control Mechanisms

• Switching Devices: Mechanisms to disrupt or facilitate the flow of current between the generator and receiver.
• Switches: Electromechanical devices designed to close or open an electric circuit.
• Simple Switch: An electromechanical mechanism that can feed two receivers as an alternative.
• Crossover Switch: An electromechanical device that connects four terminals (two incoming and two outgoing).
• Button: An electric mechanism that closes or opens a circuit when manual pressure is maintained.
• Step Relays: Electromechanical devices that change the position of internal contacts with each current pulse, remaining in position until the next pulse.
• Automatic Step: A set of electromechanical elements that regulate the operating time of enclosure lighting.
• Power Outlet: Devices designed to communicate with recipients by means of pins.
