Esta gu\u00eda cubre un interruptor unipolar est\u00e1ndar (unidireccional), el tipo que controla una luz desde un solo lugar. Si su instalaci\u00f3n implica conmutaci\u00f3n bidireccional o intermedia (varios interruptores que controlan la misma luz), llame a un electricista.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Importante:<\/strong> Las convenciones de cableado var\u00edan seg\u00fan el pa\u00eds. El cableado del Reino Unido (marr\u00f3n\/azul) es diferente al de EE.UU. (negro\/blanco\/cobre). Confirme siempre la normativa local antes de empezar.<\/p>\n<h2>Qu\u00e9 necesitar\u00e1<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Comprobador de tensi\u00f3n: el m\u00e1s sencillo es el de tipo bol\u00edgrafo sin contacto<\/li>\n<li>Destornillador - plano o Phillips dependiendo del interruptor<\/li>\n<li>Pelacables (si se instala una unidad completamente nueva)<\/li>\n<li>Interruptor de repuesto: aseg\u00farese de que la potencia y la norma coinciden con su instalaci\u00f3n. Consulte nuestro <a href=\"https:\/\/mordio.com\/es\/categoria-producto\/toma-de-corriente-estandar-britanica\/\">BS 1363<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mordio.com\/es\/categoria-producto\/toma-de-corriente-estandar-europea\/\">Europea<\/a>, o <a href=\"https:\/\/mordio.com\/es\/categoria-producto\/toma-de-interruptor-estandar-americana\/\">Est\u00e1ndar americano<\/a> rangos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Paso 1: Corte la corriente en el disyuntor<\/h2>\n<p>Ve a la unidad de consumo (panel de disyuntores) y desconecta el circuito de esa habitaci\u00f3n. No conf\u00edes en que el interruptor de pared est\u00e9 en posici\u00f3n de \u201capagado\u201d, podr\u00eda estar mal conectado. Cierra el disyuntor.<\/p>\n<h2>Paso 2: Compruebe que no hay electricidad<\/h2>\n<p>Coge el comprobador de tensi\u00f3n y t\u00f3calo en los terminales del interruptor. Si emite un pitido o se enciende, el circuito sigue bajo tensi\u00f3n. Compru\u00e9belo de nuevo en el disyuntor. Este paso no es opcional. Hemos visto demasiados casos cercanos en nuestro departamento de pruebas como para salt\u00e1rnoslo.<\/p>\n<h2>Paso 3: Retire el interruptor antiguo<\/h2>\n<p>Desenrosca la placa frontal y extrae con cuidado el interruptor de la caja mural. Antes de desconectar nada, haz una foto del cableado. Esta ser\u00e1 su referencia para la reconexi\u00f3n. Presta atenci\u00f3n a qu\u00e9 cable va en cada terminal. En el cableado del Reino Unido, el marr\u00f3n (vivo) va a L, el vivo conmutado a L1 o COM. En el cableado estadounidense, el negro (caliente) va a un terminal de lat\u00f3n y el cable de carga al otro.<\/p>\n<h2>Paso 4: Cablear el nuevo interruptor<\/h2>\n<p>Utilizando la foto como referencia, conecte cada cable al terminal correspondiente del nuevo interruptor. Apriete bien los tornillos: una conexi\u00f3n floja genera calor y puede provocar un incendio. Si el nuevo interruptor utiliza terminales a presi\u00f3n en lugar de tornillos, asiente cada cable firmemente hasta que haga clic.<\/p>\n<h2>Paso 5: Abr\u00f3chate y prueba<\/h2>\n<p>Introduzca los cables con cuidado en la caja mural. Evite pellizcar o aplastar los cables. Atornille el interruptor y la placa frontal en su sitio. Restablece la alimentaci\u00f3n en el disyuntor y prueba el interruptor varias veces. Si hace clic limpiamente y la luz responde, ya est\u00e1.<\/p>\n<h2>Cu\u00e1ndo contratar a un profesional<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>El interruptor forma parte de un circuito bidireccional o intermedio: varios interruptores controlan una luz.<\/li>\n<li>Los colores del cableado son antiguos (colores brit\u00e1nicos anteriores a 2004 o cableado de aluminio estadounidense).<\/li>\n<li>Se ve aislamiento quemado o fundido en la parte posterior del interruptor antiguo<\/li>\n<li>El nuevo interruptor necesita una conexi\u00f3n a tierra y el antiguo no la ten\u00eda.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>En caso de duda, paga a un electricista. Cuesta menos que arreglar un error.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Replacing a wall switch is not difficult, but you have to respect the electricity.
