1. Introduction

Distribution board is a sheltered framework intended for house or building that included
defensive gadgets, isolator switches, electrical switch and breakers to interface securely the
links and wires to the sub circuits and last sub circuits including their related Live (Phase)
Neutral and Earth transmitters. Circulation board is otherwise called "Wire Board", "Board"
or "Customer Unit". 3 types of distribution boards which is Main Distribution Board (MDB),
Sub Distribution Board (SDB) and Final Distribution Board (FBD).

A distribution board unit installed in the structures which right off the bat get the
approaching single stage electric inventory (AC low voltage (LV) (240V AC, 50 Hz) from
transformer auxiliary through electric pole and energy meter or the distribution company's
electric provider outlets is known as Main Distribution Board. Main Distribution Board
(MDB) is otherwise called Fuse board or consumer unit where the primary defensive and
confinement devices are introduced to give power in a protected range to the associated
electrical appliances.

The Distribution Board which is utilized to convey electrical wiring and circuits inside a
chose region in a building or house, for example floor in a multi-story building. The Sub
distribution board is associated and provided from the Main Distribution Board through
various wires and cables evaluated according to the load requirement.

In the Final Distribution Board, the Distribution Board which give electric inventory to
the Final and Sub Final Circuits is known as Final Distribution Board. FDB (Final
Distribution Board) straightforwardly associated through SDB (Sub Distribution Board) and
the last switches are utilized to control the associated electrical gadgets and machines, for
example, light, forced air system, fan and so on.

Thus, in this practical experiment aim to prove the connection of wire between the
distribution board. Hence, this report consist of equipment, schematic diagram, procedures,
result and discussion to prove the theory stated.

3. Schematic Diagram

4. Procedure

1) Complete the circuit board according to the schematic diagram.

2) Check for continuity of the circuit using multimeter.
3) Connect the circuit board with power supply.
4) Observe and record the findings.

5. Result & Discussion

Figures Description

a. Full Setup

b. Kilowatt Hour Meter with voltage reading

- 237.32 V is the supplied voltage

c. Kilowatt Hour Meter with current reading

- No current reading was recorded because
there were no load connected to the circuit.

a. Wiring a Distribution Board [DB] is vital in any electrical installation and all the
electrical sub circuits are originated from a Distribution Board.
b. We used a Distribution Board with MCBs [Miniature Circuit Breakers] for power
distribution.
c. We discovered that circuit breaker is a device that switches OFF the circuit from
electric supply at abnormal conditions and keep the circuit protected. Circuit breaker
will operate automatically if faults were detected and we can simply reset it if it ever
trips, making it a reliable protection device.
d. By testing every connection points with a multimeter, we can detect if there are any
defect in the wiring system, in any case if there were no reading recorded, we rewired
the respective connection to solve the problem.
e. After we constructed the circuit, we tested it by supplying it with a 3 phase power
supply, converted to single phase by using a Power Cable. We found out that the

connection and components are working since readings is visible at the Kilowatt Hour
Meter.

6. Conclusion

Distribution board is a safe system designed for house or building that included
protective devices, isolator switches, circuit breaker and fuses to connect safely the cables
and wires to the sub circuits and final sub circuits including their associated Live (Phase)
Neutral and Earth conductors. Distribution board is also known as “Fuse Board“, “Panel
Board” or “Consumer Unit“.

Therefore, in this experiment shows the successfully connection between wiring in

distribution box which involve fuse board, panel board and consumer board.
