 WIRING ACCESSORIES
Wiring accessories
.
are being used in
domestic as well as commercial wiring.
SOME IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL
ACCESSORIES
 SWITCH : Switch is used to make or
break the electric circuit or it is
used to switch ‘’ON or OFF’’ the
electric supply.
 SURFACE SWITCH : Switches are
mounted on wooden board , fixed
over the surface of the wall.
 SOCKET : An electrical device
receiving a plug or light bulb to
make a connection.
 WIRING ACCESSORIES
 LAMP HOLDER : A lamp holder
is used to hold the lamp ; and
connect it electrically to
supply terminals , required for
lighting purposes.
 PLUG : The plugs are also
having moulded three pins of
brass or any electrically
conducting material. These
are also made of 5amp and
15amp rating. These are used
for taking power from socket.
 WIRING ACCESSORIES
 MAIN SWITCH : This switch is
used to switch “ON or OFF”
the main supply . These
switches are used to control
the whole supply for a house ,
office and machine . In single
phase circuit I.C.D.P main
switches are used, whereas in
three phase circuits I.C.T.P.
main switches are used to
control the supply.
 WIRING ACCESSORIES
 I.C.D.P. Switch: Iron Clad
Double Pole main switch is used in
single-phase supply circuits. These are
available in 15 Amp, 30 Amp, 60 Amps
and 100 amperes current rating. In
these switches, either two numbers of
fuse links are provided or a fuse link
and a neutral link is provided.

 I.C.T.P Switch: Iron Clad Triple

Pole main switches are used to control
the three phase supply circuit. These
are available in 15 Amp, 30 Amp, 60
Amp,100 Amp, 150 Amp and 250 Amps
current rating. Generally these
switches are also known as 3 phase 4
wires main switches.
 WIRING ACCESSORIES
 Fuse:It is the most common and
important type of safety device used for
domestic and commercial installations.
These fuses are of kit-Kat type and are
also known as cut-out. These cut-outs
are made of porcelain in current rating
of 15 to 300 amperes. The material used
as a fuse wire is tin, lead, silver,
antimony, copper and aluminium etc.
Copper or lead, tin alloy is mostly used
in ordinary fuse wire.
 Miniature Circuit Breaker (M.C.B.):A
miniature circuit breaker is an electro-
mechanical safety device which operate
and disconnect the circuit supply, when
the current drawn from the circuit
increases to a pre-determined value.
These are used in lieu of fuses and can
be fitted in consumer’s distribution
board.
 PRINCIPLES OF LIGHTING

 ANGLES
 DISTRIBUTION
 AVAILABILITY
 INTENSITY
 COLOUR
 MOVEMENT
 LIGHTING
 Light is an electromagnetic radiation with certain
portion of electromagnetic spectrum,usually referred
to visible light responsible for the sense of light.
 TYPES OF LIGHTING
 DAYLIGHT
 MOONLIGHT
 STORMLIGHT
 ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
 INCANDESCENT LIGHT
 FLUORESCENT LIGHT
For e.g.:- TUBELIGHTS
 LED DISCHARGE LIGHT
COVE LIGHTS
 TYPES OF LIGHTING
 AMBIENT LIGHTING
GENERAL LIGHTING PROVIDED IN AN AREA WITH
ILLUMINATION ALL OVER THE SURFACE AREA.
RECESSED LIGHTINGS
 TASK LIGHTING
Often task lighting is referred to increasing he illuminance
to better accomplish the specific activity.
PENDANT LIGHTS
ISLAND POOL TABLE LIGHTS
HALOGENS
 ACCENT LIGHTING
ACCENT LIGHTING IS USED TO HIGHLIGHT CERTAIN
FEATURES OR OBJECTS PRESENT IN THE ROOM.
CHANDELIERS
CEILING MEDALLIONS
SCONES
FLUSH MOUNT LIGHTS
SEMI FLUSH MOUNT LIGHTS
TRACK LIGHTING
LANTERN LIGHTS
