The practice of domestic wiring has been standardized. Any deviation for these practices may lead to
untoward incident like short circuits or electric shock to personnel e.g. it is mandatory to place a fuse
wire in the phase wire (live wire). An attempt to put it in the natural may create problem after the fuse
blows off due to short circuit. Proper material should be used for laying the domestic wiring
depending upon the environment, location, safety to personnel, to equipments etc. Following are the
different types of domestic wiring : Cleat wiring, Wooden casing and capping wiring, TRS or Batton
wiring, Surface conduit wiring, Concealed conduit wiring. (Chapter 11)

Domestic Wiring is standardized practice for cable wiring for domestic application to prevent incident
like short circuits or electric shock to personel and having different method for any situation, there are
Cleat wiring, Wooden casing and capping wiring, TRS or Batton wiring, Surface conduit wiring,
Concealed conduit wiring.

Cleat wiring. In this system of wiring the cables are gripped and supported between cleat made of
porcelain. These cleats are made in two halves; the lower part is grooved to accommodate, the cable
and the upper part is put over it. (Chapter 11)

Cleat Wiring is a system/method of wiring the cables with cleat made of porcelain to grip and support
the cables, this cleat have two parts; the lower part is grooved to accommodate the cable and the upper
part is put over it

Wooden/PVC Casing and Capping Wiring. This method of wiring is one of the very old method and
is in use even as of now. This system is suitable for the voltages installations using VIR or PVC
cables. The Casing and Capping form two parts of the wooden or PVC, the Casing and Capping have
grooves. The cable is placed in the grooves of the Casing and this is then covered by capping.

Wooden/PVC Casing and Capping Wiring is one of the oldest method that still used in domestic
wiring, this method can be used for the voltages installations using VIR or PVC cables. The Casing
and Capping have two parts of the wooden or PVC; the Casing that have grooves for placing the
cables and the Capping for covered the cables.

There are three types of conduit wiring :


(a) Concealed conduit wiring
(b) Surface conduit wiring
(c) Flexible conduit wiring.

Concealed conduit wiring. Here the conduits are embedded along the wall in plaster at the time of
construction. The VIR or PVC cables are drawn into the conduits by means of GI wire of 18 SWG.
The conduit should be electrically and mechanically continuous and connected to earth at some
suitable places using earth wire. This method of conduit wiring is preferred for domestic over other
methods as it maintains the beauty of the house and no projected pipes are visible.

Surface conduit wiring. As the name suggests the conduit is spaced from the wall by means of small
wooden spacers below the conduits along its length at regular intervals. This system is commonly
used in industrial wiring but is not recommended for domestic wiring as it spoils the beauty of the
house. The usual size of the conduit is 25 mm diameter for domestic wiring.

Flexible conduit wiring. This method of wiring is used to provide mechanical protection to cables
between rigid conduits (surface conduit) and electric machine or any other electrical device. However,
this is not a general method of wiring. It is used for connecting rigid conduit with machine terminal
box in case of motor wiring and energy meter with main switch in case of industrial and domestic
wiring. (Chapter 10)

The Conduit wiring have 3 different types, there are: Concealed conduit wiring is the conduits that
embedded along the wall in plaster at the time of building construction and should be electrically and
mechanically continuous and connected to earth at some suitable places using earth wire, this method
is preferred for domestic over other methods as it maintains the beauty of the house with no projected
pipes are visible; Surface conduit wiring is the conduit that spaced from the wall by small wooden
spacers below the conduits along its length at regular intervals, this method usually used in industrial
wiring and not recommended for domestic wiring as it spoils the beauty of the house; Flexible conduit
wiring is a protection for cables between the surface conduits and electric machine or electrical
device. However, this is not a general method of wiring. It is used for connecting rigid conduit with
machine terminal box in case of motor wiring and energy meter with main switch in case of industrial
and domestic wiring.

There are mainly two types of moving iron instruments (a) Attraction type and (b) Repulsion type. In
these instruments the current to be measured or current proportional to the voltage to be measured is
passed through a coil of wire, the no. of turns on which depends upon the current passing through it.
A certain number of ampere turns is required to operate the instrument. (Chapter 4)

Moving Iron Instrument is the instrument which needed a certain number of ampere turns to operate
and used to measure the current or current proportional to the voltage and passed it through a coil of
wire, this instrument have Attraction type and Repulsion type.
