Wiring a Doorbell System (NEC 2002) - Self Help and More. Components of a Doorbell System Doorbell Wiring is relatively simplistic compared to the rest of your home wiring, and works on a much lower "safer" voltage.
Lower voltage also means that smaller wires can be used, 18 awg wire at either 2 or 3 wire cables (depending on your wiring choice). Like most things electrical, making it work means completing the circuit, without creating a dead short. Doorbell power source: small transformer, power by 110 v , with an output of much smaller voltage usually at 16 volts. Doorbell buttons: A convenient means of completing the circuit, located and mounted on the outside of an entrance to the home, may be used at one door or at 2 entrances. 2 wires are hooked to connectors of the button assembly, when the button is pushed, the contact is closed and thereby making an electrical connection between the 2 wires, and the connection is broken when the button is released.
