Lecture 3 - Electrical Wiring System
INTRODUCTION
APPLICATION
This system is not suitable for
regular long lasting domestic wiring. However, we
may use it for temporary wiring such as for a
marriage pandal.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF WIRING
The live and neutral main wires are first taken
to one or more convenient distribution boards.
DISADVANTAGES
This system requires more length of wire and hence it
is costlier than the tree system.
Because of the following advantages, this system of
wiring is normally adopted for domestic wiring now-a-
days.
1. Good appearance.
2. Fault in one circuit does not affect the other circuits.
3. Easy to locate faults.
4. Each circuit protected independently by a fuse or
MCB.
5. Simple system capable of further extension, if
required.
6. Easy to replace blown fuse, or to restore the MCB.
THREE-PHASE FOUR-WIRE SYSTEM(INDUSTRIAL WIRING)
2. SAFETY: The wiring must provide safety against leakage, shock and fire hazards for
the operating personnel.
