2. ⢠Electrical wiring is generally refers to insulated conductor used to carry
current and associated device.
⢠Domestic electric appliances like lights, fans, washing machines, water
pumps etc are connected to the supply through insulated wires which are
controlled by switches.
⢠The wiring diagram gives the connections of different appliances to the
supply within a house or building.
3. ⢠State electricity board provide electric supply up
to a point outside the consumer premises. From
this point consumer take the connection to his
main board . Insulated electrical wires will be
taken out to various places in the permises to
supply power to different type of loads like lights ,
fans , refrigerators , room coolers , heaters,etc.
4. ⢠The conductor material, insulation , size and the
number of cores, specifies the electrical wires.
⢠The conductors are usually of either copper or
aluminium.
⢠Various insulating materials like PVC,TRS and VIR
are used.
⢠The wire may be of single strand or multi strand.
⢠Wires with combination of different diameters and
the number of cores or strands are available.
5. ⢠The selection of the wire is made depending on
the requirement considering factors like current
and voltage ratings, cost and application.
⢠The current carrying capacity depends on the
total area of the wires.
6. ď Wires are drawn along the consumerâs building to
distribute power to all points where load is
situated.
Types of wiring according to uses;
1. Domestic wiring.
2. Commercial wiring.
3. Industrial wiring.
7. ⢠1. life of installation
⢠2. future extension or alterations
⢠3. construction of building
⢠4. fire hazards or other special conditions
⢠5. corrosive fumes
⢠6. dampness
⢠7. type of wire and material used
⢠8. nature of load (lighting of power)
⢠9. safety of the system
⢠10. cost of wiring system
8. ⢠Durability : Type of wiring selected should conform
to standard specifications, so that it is durable i.e.
without being affected by the weather conditions,
fumes etc.
⢠Safety : The wiring must provide safety against
leakage, shock and fire hazards for the operating
personnel.
⢠Appearance : Electrical wiring should give an
aesthetic appeal to the interiors.
⢠Cost: It should not be prohibitively expensive.
9. ⢠Accessibility : The switches and plug points
provided should be easily accessible. There must
be provision for further extension of the wiring
system, if necessary.
⢠Maintenance Cost : The maintenance cost should
be a minimum.
⢠Mechanical safety : The wiring must be
protected against any mechanical damage.
10. ⢠These are the following types of wiring are:-
1. Cleat wiring
2. Wood casting wiring
3. CTS wiring or TRS wiring or Batten wiring
4. Conduit wiring
5. Metal sheathed wiring or lead sheathed wiring
11. ⢠In this type of wiring , wood or plastc cleats are
fixed to walls or cellings at regular intervals
.i.e.,0.6m between each cleat.
⢠PVC insulated cables are taken through the holes
of each cleat .
⢠Cleat support and hold wires.
⢠This is cheap method .
⢠Is used for temporary installations.
⢠It is not suitable for home .
⢠It is outdated method.s
12. ⢠This System uses insulated Cables sub protected in
porcelain cleats.
13.
14.
15. ⢠In this cable is run through a wood casing having
grooves.
⢠The wood casing is of required fixed length with
parallel grooves that accommodates the cables.
⢠The wooden casing is fixed to the walls or ceiling with
screws.
⢠After placing the cables inside the grooves of casing , a
wooden cap with grooves is placed on it to cover the
cables.
⢠This is also cheap wiring system.
⢠There is a high risk of fire in case of short circuits.
16.
17. ⢠In this , insulated wires are run
through the straight teak wooden
battens.
⢠The wooden battens are fixed on
the ceiling or walls by plugs and
screws.
⢠The cables are fitted onto the
battens by using tinned brass link
clips.
⢠These clips are fixed to the battens
with rust-resistance nails.
⢠This wiring installation is simple
and cheap.
⢠This system takes less time to
install.
⢠These are mainly used for indoor
installations
18. ⢠In this wiring , PVC cables are taken through either
PVC conduit pipes or through steel conduit pipes.
⢠This conduit wiring can be either surface conduit
wiring or concealed conduit wiring.
⢠If the conduits are run inside the surface of the
walls and ceilings and are covered with plastering,
it is called as conduit wiring.
19. ⢠Surface conduit wiring is used in industries to
connect the heavy motors.
⢠Concealed wiring is the most popular and
common method of wiring the residential
buildings.
⢠This method is the safest method of wiring and
also look beautiful.

24. ⢠Electrical drawings plays an important role in
electrical installation works that they convey
information about connection of various devices
and equipments with mains.
⢠It provides the complete information,and also
helps to assemble the various equipments.
25. ⢠It is a functional drawing which shows and
describes the main operating principles of the
equipments or devices.
⢠It consists of :-
-principle functions (represented by blocks)
- line connections (shows relationship between
them).
The diagram is usually drawn before implementing
a circuit diagram.
26. ⢠Not give any detailed information.
⢠leaves the information about smaller cmponents.
27. ⢠Is a simplified notation of an
electrical system.
⢠Called as one-line diagram or
single line diagram .
⢠Similar to the block diagram
⢠It consists of symbols to
represent the components.
⢠Lines to represent the wires
or conductors which
connects the components
together.
⢠the line diagram is derived
from the block diagram.
28. ⢠Electrical circuit is graphically represented in a
simplified manner.
⢠it gives the position information of various
elements (in cm or m or mm)
⢠Doesnât give any layout of the parts and their
detail wiring information of the components.
29. ⢠One can do wiring by following the information
given in this diagram
⢠These diagram illustrate the working of an electric
circuit.
30. ⢠Wiring diagram is a representation of the circuit ,
shows the wiring between parts or elements.
⢠Gives detailed information about wiring .
⢠It includes:-
-relative position
-arrangement of devices
-terminals on the devices
It shows power supplies and earth connections .
