EX. NO: DATE:

AIM:-
To make simple residential house wiring using switches, fuse, indicator, filament
lamps and energy meter.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:-
S.NO. NAME OF THE
SPECIFICATION QUANTITY
APPARATUS
1 Energy meter 5A,1200 Kwh/rev 1
2 Fuse 10A 1
3 Switch -- 1
4 Incandescent Lamp 40W 1
5 Connection wire -- As required

THEORY:-
A switch is used to make or break the electric circuit. It must make the contact finely.
Under some abnormal conditions it must retain its rigidity and keep its alignment
between switch contacts. Different types of switches are as follows.
1. Surface or Tumbler switch
a. Single way switch
b. Two way switch
2. Flush Switch
3. Pull or Ceiling switches
4. Rotary snap switches
5. Push button switch
6. Iron- Clad watertight switches
The fuse arrangement is made to break the circuit in the fault or overloaded conditions.
The energy meter is measuring the units (KWhr) consumed by the various loads.

PROCEDURE:-
1. Mark the bulb and switch positions.
2. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.
3. Switch on the supply.
4. Check the lamps are glowing or not in the corresponding switches
are kept in the ON position.
5. Check whether the energy meter responding to the load.

RESULT:-
Thus the simple house wiring by using switches, fuse, indicator,
filament lamps and energy meter was studied.

AIM:

To make a fluorescent lamp circuit to be controlled by a single switch.

2. Knife

REQUIRED QUANTITY
1 Choke 40 watts,230V 1
2 Starter 40 watts 1
3 Tube light holder -- 2
4 Tube light frame -- 1
5 Tube light 40 watts 1
6 Connection wire -- As required

PRECAUTIONS:

1. All the connections should be tight.

2. Testing of wire should be avoided.
3. Electrical accessories should be fixed tightly by means of screws with the help
of a screw driver and not by hammering

THEORY:

The fluorescent tubes are available in lengths of 0.61m and 1.22m.The tubes are
coated from inside with phosphorous, which is used to convert ultra violet
radiations into visible light and to give the required colour sensation. A choke is
used to give a transient high voltage so as to initiate the electron movement. With
the switch S closed, the circuit gets closed. The current flows through the choke
and the starter. The starter suddenly breaks thereby breaking the circuit. Due to
high inductive property of the choke, a transient high voltage is available across
the filaments. Hence electrons are emitted and travel through the tube. Such a
continuous flow of electrons produces the sensation of light to human eyes.
PROCEDURE:

1. Take the tube light frame with two holders on the wooden board.
2. Fix the choke and starter as per the wiring diagram.
3. Fix the tube light with the frame and check the light glow by switching on the
switch.

RESULT:

Thus the fluorescent lamp circuit was controlled by a single switch.

PRECAUTIONS:

1. All the connections should be tight.

2. Twisting of wires should be avoided.
3. Electrical accessories should be fixed rigidly by means of screws with help of a
screw driver and not by hammering.

THEORY:

In this wiring a single lamp is controlled from two places. For this purpose two
numbers of two-way switches are used. When two switches are in ON or OFF
condition, lamp will not glow. This indicates no current flow to the circuit.

When one switch is in ON and other one is in OFF, then the lamp will glow which
indicates then flow of current in the circuit.

PROCEDURE:

1. Prepare the layout for the wiring diagram.

2. Select the required wires, PVC pipes etc.
3. Fix the PVC pipes and junction boxes on the wooden board as per the layout.
4. Make the connections as per the wiring diagram.
 5. Verify the status cable.

RESULT :
Thus the status of lamp is controlled using two way switch by stair case wiring.

Indicated Energy= No. of revolutions/energy meter constant(Kwh)

PRECAUTIONS:

1. There should be no load at the time of starting.

2. The connections must be made proper for UPF.

PROCEDURE :

1. The connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

2. The DPST switch is closed and the rated voltage is applied by varying the auto
transformer.
3. By applying different values of load, ammeter and voltmeter readings are noted.
4. The time taken for the 10 revolutions of the aluminum disc in the energy meter is
noted.
5. This procedure is repeated for different load values.

RESULT :
Thus the given single phase energy meter was measured and the error curve was obtained.
