In IEC connector or cable with a base (usually plastic) and a plug to connect to the socket (plug), if we put these two things we would get the named SCHUKO is the overall connector. The schuko not determine the type of connector. It would be determined by the specification of the International Electrotechnical Commision (IEC). We leave a small sample of Schukos internationally.

Although it seems very complicated nomenclature IP standards is only a division in double digits, where each digit indicates that it is being served to meet these regulations. For the first digit would be: 5 ingress of dust can not be avoided, but it must not enter an amount that interferes with the proper functioning of equipment. For the second digit 4 is placed theequipment in your usual workplace. You should not enter the water thrown from any angle to an average of 10 liters per minute and a pressure of 80-100kN/m for a time not less than five minutes.

hen we talk about IP code (International Protection) we talk about an international standard (IEC 60529) which classifies the protection against external factors, solid or liquid, that has a component or electronic device; LED strips, controllers, meters, security cameras, etc.

This alpha-numerically standard has been designed to sort different levels of protection. Nomenclature starts with IP followed by two numeric values.

- Example IP68:

The first value ranges from 0 to 6 and indicates the protection against solid agents. In this case, strong protection against dust.

The second value is between 0 and 8 and indicates the protection against liquid agents. In this case the complete and prolonged immersion during the time specified by the manufacturer.

We could say that the larger the number is greater IP protection has a device.

In below table, we can see different IP protections levels available.

IPXX	First digit (IPxx)	Second digit (IPxx)
0	Unprotected.	Unprotected.
1	Protection against objects of> 50 mm diameter.	Protection against vertically dripping water.
2	Protection against objects of> 12.5 mm diameter.	Protection against inclined drip water up to 15°.
3	Protection against objects of> 2 mm in diameter.	Protection against water projected from any direction, up to 60°.
4	Protection against objects of> 1 mm in diameter.	Protection against splashing water any direction.
5	Ingress of dust is not entirely revented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment .	Protection against water jets.
6	Dust tight.	Protection against strong jets of water.
7		Protection against complete immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
8		Protection against complete and prolonged immersion.

When carrying out an electrical installation or electrical circuit several factors must be taken into account, one of them is the selection of the appropriate cable. According to the installation and the use of the same we can find different diameters that support different loads. The cable section will also help us not to overheat our installation, since the larger the section, the greater the thermal resistance.
In the following table poWe can see the corresponding load supported for the different sections of cables.

As it is common in installations we can find a standard of colors in the electric cables.

These regulations help at a glance to understand the connection and the resolution of possible faults or failures.

Below we attach the color/cable relation for electrical installations.

1. The ground wire can be identified in several ways:
• Green cable.
• C cablegreen smell with a yellow line.
• Cable without insulation.
2. The neutral wire will be blue.
3. The phase cable can be identified in several ways:
• Any color different from neutral or earth.
• Black insulation.
• Brown isolate.
• Gray insulation.

The insulating or insulating tape is a fundamental element when making a repair or performing an electrical installation. The insulating tape will help us to protect and insulate the electrical cables from possible crossings or contacts between them or with other elements, guaranteeing that the connection is well insulated avoiding possible short circuits.
Its use is very simple, since being a flexible material allows us to apply it with comfort.
To achieve a perfect union, it is recommended that we wrap the tape covering half the cable and half over the joint, stretching the tape slightly while rolling obliquely.

• For the ground wire, colored insulation tape will be used:
• Green.
• Green with a yellow line.
• For the neutral cable, blue insulating tape will be used.
• For the cable the phase isYou can use any other color:
• Any color different from neutral or earth.
• Black insulating tape.
• Brown insulating tape.
• Gray insulating tape.

ABS material (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a type of thermoplastic that is very resistant to impact or shock.

Its applications are several, for example is a material widely used in the manufacture of interiors or components of cars such as moldings, as well as in products for domestic use such as toys, tools, housings of electrical devices etc.

One of its most important characteristics is its great tenacidad in almost all types of temperatures.

Being a very hard material has good chemical resistance, low water absorption and high resistance to abrasion, where other types of plastics would be more brittle.

This type of material is becoming very famous in the particular field and widely used due to the great growth in the sales of domestic 3D printers, the main printing raw material.next to the PLA.

Identification of ABS
Parts that are made of ABS material must be marked in accordance with ISO 11469 (DIN 58840).
