El tomacorriente viejo era de dos entradas y el protector era de tres patas, ya que una de ellas es la que conecta a tierra, esencial para la seguridad eléctrica. Este inconveniente lo resolví comprando un tomacorriente con tres entradas; ahora bien, la otra opción era haber comprado un adaptador. Pero me incliné por la sustitución del tomacorriente viejo por uno nuevo de tres entradas.
Hello to all members of the #HomeSolutions community, I wish you a day full of success and many blessings. Today I'm here to share some new home-related content. A few days ago, I bought a 32-inch Smart TV, taking advantage of a promotion at a store that was celebrating its anniversary. This purchase led me to buy another item, a surge protector, which is essential for protecting electrical appliances from fluctuations that can shorten their lifespan.
The old outlet had two prongs, and the surge protector had three prongs, one of which is the grounding prong, essential for electrical safety. I solved this problem by buying a three-prong outlet; the other option was to buy an adapter. But I decided to replace the old outlet with a new three-prong one.
Como no soy experta en electricidad, decidí buscar a un señor para que hiciera el trabajo. Por seguridad, bajó el breaker para cortar el fluido eléctrico, ya que la seguridad debe estar presente cuando se trabaja con electricidad.
Acto seguido, comienza a desmontar el tomacorriente viejo. Retira los tornillos, quedando los cables al descubierto. Estos se instalan en la parte trasera del tomacorriente.
Since I am not an expert in electricity, I decided to find someone to do the job. For safety reasons, he turned off the breaker to cut off the power, as safety must always be a priority when working with electricity.
He then began to remove the old outlet. He removed the screws, exposing the wires. These are installed at the back of the outlet.
El frontal del tomacorriente se fija a la caja con tornillos. Después de asegurarse de que los cables están en su debido sitio.
The front of the outlet is secured to the box with screws. After ensuring that the wires are in the correct position.
Luego se coloca la tapa sobre el frontal del tomacorriente; fijar con el tornillo en la parte central.
Then place the cover over the front of the outlet; secure it with the screw in the center.
Después de hacer la instalación del nuevo tomacorriente de tres entradas, se enchufó el protector de voltaje, se subió el breaker y comenzó a titilar la luz verde por unos minutos, hasta que se estabilizó.
After installing the new three-prong outlet, the surge protector was plugged in, the breaker was flipped, and the green light began to flicker for a few minutes until it stabilized.
Ahora, a enchufar el Smart tv de 32 pulgadas y disfrutar de todo lo que brindan estos televisores inteligentes.
Now, plug in your 32-inch Smart TV and enjoy everything these smart televisions have to offer.
