current then flows to the neutralink and cut out. The neutralink will
connect the energy to the power system where as the cut out has its
own fuse that can manage to cut the circuit when the overload current
flows through it.When the current flows to the cut out, then it flows to
the kilowatt per hour (kW/h). kW/h is controlled by the Tenaga
Nasional Berhad (TNB) and it also to read the amount of the current
that is used by the user. Then, the current flows to the main switch.
The current is limited for 30A and if the current flows are overload, the
main switch will be disconnected. After that, the current will flow to the
earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). The current flow of electrical
system is always very hazardous and involves high risk. The wrong
wire connection can lead to the serious damage by way of electrical
shock circuit. Next, the current flow to the distribution box. It content
miniature circuit breaker (MCB). MCB will transfer the current to each
part. There are two types of current flow to the socket which are ring
circuit socket and series circuit. The ring circuit socket has 6 cables
and the series circuit has three cables. If one the ring circuit socket is
damaged, the ring circuit that work as parallel circuit will be changed
to the series circuit. The sockets have three terminal that is life, neutral
and earth. While, the switches have two terminal of life cable which is
for upcoming and outgoing current.
