Test board connection:

Procedure

1. Fix the conduits and the junction boxes on the work board as per the wiring layout.
2. Lay down the wires through the conduits as per the wiring diagram.
3. By connecting a series test lamp circuit check whether there is an open circuit or short circuit.

Testing Procedure

1. Connect the test board lamp in series with the circuit lamp by keeping the test lamp switch
open (OFF) and circuit lamp switch closed (ON).
2. The power rating of the lamp in the test board and in the wiring circuit should have same
wattage.
3. If there is an open circuit then both the lamps will not glow.
4. If there is a short circuit only the test board lamp will glow brighter and the circuit lamp will
not glow
5. When there is no fault in the circuit then both the lamps will glow with equally dim.
6. After testing the circuit, close the test lamp switch, then operate the wiring circuit verify the
conditions.
