 LITERATURE SURVEY
Phase is circulated in sockets through switches and neutral and earth are
connected at every socket directly.
1. Have to install 5A or 15 A switch and sockets as per load requirements.
2. All connections should be tightly done and no loose wiring should be remain
as otherwise it leads to short circuit and shocks. So have to double check
should be done for checking tightness.
3. To make an extension cord, get an electrical wire with appropriate length.
The length of cord should be considered, based on the requirements. Try to
choose the minimum length as required. Because the length increases the
electrical resistance and thereby the copper loss. So, every extra length of cord
reasons for power loss in the conductor. The increase in length creates a
voltage drop. across the cord and decreases the amount of power that can
deliver by the cord. Thus, use a cord length that maintains the requirement and
also not in excess.
4. Connect each neutral and earth pole in the sockets, in parallel to the main
neutral and the earth. Distribute the phase line to the phase. poles of the sockets
via individual switches. Usually, all the socket will be similar to match the plug
of extension cord. Use socket types that suits the load's plug. Or use multiple
types of sockets.
5. The wires and the parts should satisfy the power requirements. Depending
the loads which may be used, choose a cord cable with proper wire gauge.
Extension cords should have a minimum of 16 AWG. And the rated load
power should be at the limit of amperes. the chord can drive. If available, it is
recommended to wire circuit with standard colour codes. Because it helps to
identify the lines during wiring and also if any chance of maintenance occurs.
Commonly phase, neutral and ground connections have red, black and green
respectively. The colour codes followed may vary with countries, in most
countries ground connection has green. But for phase and neutral different
colours are using.

 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Twin Socket Extension Board addresses a critical issue in contemporary
computing systems: the demand for increased processing power outpacing the
capabilities of traditional single-socket setups. As applications become more
resource-intensive and complex, a bottleneck in computational performance
emerges. Existing systems, often limited to a single processor, struggle to meet
the requirements of tasks such as data-intensive computations, advanced
simulations, and real-time processing.

This disparity between computational demand and the capacity of single-socket

configurations creates a pressing problem for users seeking optimal performance
without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. The Twin Socket Extension
Board aims to bridge this gap by providing a solution that enables the integration
of dual processors within existing systems, offering a cost-effective approach to
enhance processing capabilities. This problem statement underscores the urgency
and relevance of addressing the growing need for improved computational power
in a manner that is both practical and economically viable.
