Activity

Install, test, and ensure the functioning of the wiring installation by preparing
layout diagram, installation plan and wiring diagram according to National electrical
code for the following wiring installations on a board in PVC Surface conduit wiring
system.

AIM: Prepare Consumer main board with Energy meter and Distribution Board.

Materials required:
[Link] Components Specifications Quantity
1 Wooden switch board --------- 1 No
2 Fuse unit 16A, 230V Porcelain 1 No
3 Energy meter 1 phase, 20A, 230V 1 No
4 Miniature Circuit Breaker B6, 230/400V, SP 5 No
5 Miniature Circuit Breaker C16A, 230/400V, DP 1 No
6 Earth Leakage Circuit 25A, 100mA, DP 1 No
Breaker / RCCB
7 Neutral & Earth Links ----------- 3 No
8 Lamp Load with switch & --------- 1 No
Holder
9 Bend / Elbow, Saddles, screws --------- Required Length
Insulation tape & Quantity
10 Wires 1 mm2 Copper Required Length

Tools used:
Hand Drill, Hacksaw blade, Poker, Hammer, Screw driver, Cutting pliers, Wire stripper, Tester.

Procedure:
1. Draw the layout diagram on the wiring board.
2. Assemble the different accessories required for the experiment like Fuse unit, Energy meter, Miniature
Circuit Breaker (MCB), Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB/RCCB), according to the layout diagram
3. Do the wiring for the experiment as per the wiring diagram using the accessories like wires, wiring clips,
nails etc.
4. After completing wiring connect the lamp load to the circuit. Connect the circuit to the supply. Test for
the correct working of the circuit by observing the Energy meter working.
5. Press the test button of ELCB/RCCB and observe the ELCB tripping.
6. Turn on the load once again and try working of ELCB by creating earth fault.
7. Turn off all the lamps in the lamp load, MCBs and Main switch.

NOTE:
1. Ratings of MCBs and ELCB may vary as per the requirement.
2. Specification of wire may vary depending upon the load in the sub circuits.
3. Separate ELCBs may be used for each sub circuit.
