Title : INTRODUCTION TO WRITING INSTALLATION SYSTEM

Objective : 1. To understand the basic concepts of electrical power, earthing,

distribution system and writing.

2. To understand the writing diagram and wiring installation method

for a lighting circuit.

3. To understand thinking system connected from distribution fuse

box (OFB).

4. To understand the wiring of a one-way switch and two-way switch.

5. To understand the inspection and testing method for a wiring

circuit.

6. To understand the steps and safety to power up the lighting circuit.

Introduction : Wiring system is an installation system that consists of conductor,

theory insulator, mechanical protection and electrical accessories. A
wiring system has to be planned to prevent loss to consumer. The
system control efficiency and safety. Things that have to be
considered as a choosing factor are described as follows:

1. Cost for the installation

2. Types of building ( wooden house / bricks )
3. Types of load to be installed
4. Neatness of wiring ( aesthetic )
5. Environment ( eg. Temperature etc )
6. Time to finish the installation
7. Changes / additions of circuits whenever needed
8. Types of supply voltage
9. Consumers / installation safety

Results :

Insulation test Phase & Neutral Phase & CPC Neutral & CPC

Continuity test Phase Neutral CPC

Polarity test Phase Neutral CPC

Discussion : In this experiment, student need to know that lighting circuit is a
circuit that is used to provide lighting and is normally distributed
to filament or discharge lamps (fluorescent). Other than lighting
points, other loads may also be connected to the final lifting
circuit. For example, ceiling fan etc. as long as the maximum load
current is less than the rated current for the circuit. Parallel circuit
are found in most household electrical wiring. In a parallel circuit,
the connections are made so that every load will receive the same
amount of voltage. For every load, the current is shared. This is
done so that when an appliance is switch off, the other appliance
can continue to operate.
One-way switch is commonly used to control lighting or
other loads from a location. Tow-ways switched are used to control
system.
Two-way switch has three terminals. One of it called
common. The first common is for the life conductor from
distribution fuse box (OFB), or from other switches. The second
common is the second switch connected to the lamp / load. Other
two terminals from first switch are connected to the other two
terminals at the second terminal.
Polarity test may be done with the supply connected /
energized. Devices used to do polarity test in unconnected
condition are ohmmeter or test bell. Devices used to do polarity
test in connected condition are test lamp or voltmeter.

Conclusion : From the experiment student were exposed details to understand

the basics concept of electrical installation method, wiring diagram
trucking system, wiring of a one-way switch and two-way switch
the inspection. One-way switch is commonly used to control
lighting or other loads from a location. Two-ways switched are
used to control system. Two-way switch has three terminals. One
of it called common.

The first common is for the life conductor from distribution

fuse box (OFB), or from other switches. The second common is
the second switch connected to the lamp / load. Other two
terminals from first switch are connected to the other two terminals
at the second terminal. steps and safety. Lighting circuit is a circuit
that is used to provide lighting and is normally distributed to
filament or discharge lamps (fluorescent).
 In the future, student should be more expose to the other
electronic devices and component to gain more information and
knowledge. Polarity test may be done with the supply connected /
energized. Devices used to do polarity test in unconnected
condition are ohmmeter or test bell. Devices used to do polarity
test in connected condition are test lamp or voltmeter.
