To study the home power distribution arrangement with
energy meter & two subcircuits . Procedure
The connection from the power supply authority is given to the
energy meter board. There is a service fuse on the board which is provided for the protection of supply authorities cable and equipment from any electrical fault that may occur in the consumer’s installation. The service fuse is also used for disconnecting the installation from the supply line. It is mandatory to provide a main switch for each installation. The main switch for single phase installation shall be a double pole switch fuse unit. The unit consists of an isolator switch, a fuse for the phase line and a neutral link for the neutral line. A distribution board is provided for the distribution of electrical energy to different sub circuits. The distribution board may contain an ELCB and MCB’s or fuse unit meant for each sub circuit in the wiring installation. One sub circuit can have a maximum of 10 points (light, fan etc) or a maximum 800 watts connected load, whichever is less. A typical wiring circuit meant for room is shown in figure, it is mandatory that all the switch boards, plug points etc are earthed using a bare conductor of suitable gauge. Result
The home power distribution arrangement with energy meter &
