selecting any system of wiring
> 1. life of installation
. future extension or alterations
. construction of building
. fire hazards or other special conditions
. corrosive fumes
. dampness
. type of wire and material used
. nature of load (lighting of power)
. safety of the system

>IVarious systems by which power is
distributed to the domestic
consumers
» 1. single-phase two-wire system
» 2. three-phase three-wire system
» 3. three-phase four-wire system
_Types of wiring
» Commonly used types of wiring systems for
residential buildings ,commercial buildings
etc.
» 1. Cleat wiring
» 2. Wooden casing and capping wiring
» 3.C.T. SorT. R. S. wiring
» 4.Metal Sheathed or Lead Sheathed wiring
» 5. Conduit wiring
_Cleat wiringCleat wiring
» Cleat wiring is normally used for temporary
wiring purpose.
» Ex..functions, marriages...etc.
» In this type of wiring vulcanized india
rubber(V.I.R) or polyvinyl chloride(PVC)
insulated wires are used as conductors.
» Wires are held by the help of porcelain cleat
which are placed 6mm off the walls or
ceilings.
_Cleat wiring
» Types of cleats..........
» ... 1. one groove
» ...2, two grooves and
» ...3. three groovesCleat wiring
» Advantages
» 1. cheapest system of internal wiring
» 2. installation and dismantlement is easy and
quick
» 3. material is recoverable after the
dismantlement
» 4. inspection, alternations and additions can
be easily made
» 5. skill required is little
_Cleat wiring
» Disadvantages
» 1. it is not looking good
» 2. quit temporary and perishes quickly
» 3. wire are exposed to mechanical injury
» 4. oil and smoke are injurious to V.I.R
insulation
» 5. not suitable for domestic premises.
_Cleat wiring
» Field of application
» 1. the wiring of this type is suitable for
temporary installations in dry places.
» 2. this is also accepted where appearance is
not so important and cheapness is the main
consideration
_ ,Wooden Casing and Capping
Wiring
» This is one of the cheapest type of wiring and
is commonly used for house wiring.
» The cable used in this type of wiring is either
V.I.R or P.V.C or any approved insulated
cables.
» Casing consist of V-shaped grooves and is
covered by rectangular strip of teak wood
known as capping.
» This type of wiring adopted up to 250 Vin
dry places and in places where no risk of fire.Wooden Casing and Capping
Wiring

WIRING :Wooden Casing and Capping
Wiring
» Advantages
» 1. better appearance than cleat wiring
» 2. cheap in cost
» 3. easy to install and rewire
» 4. easy to inspect by opening the capping
_ ,Wooden Casing and Capping
Wiring
» Disadvantages
» 1. not suitable in damp places
» 2. risk of fire
» 3. this type of wiring can only be used on
surface and can not be concealed in plaster.
» 4.Since it requires better workmanship ,
labour cost is more
_ .Wooden Casing and Capping
Wiring
» Field of application
» This type of wiring is suitable for low voltage
domestic installations in dry places and
where there is no risk of fire hazards
_ .C.T.S or T.R.S Wiring
» This type of wiring is also used for house
wiring and is quite cheap.
» Cab tyre sheathed (C.T.S) wire or tough
rubber sheathed (T.R.S) wire is normally used
as conductor for this wiring.

_ 16C.T.S or T.R.S Wiring
» The wires are run on the teak wooden battens
which are fixed on the wall or the ceiling by
means of screws and wooden plugs.
» C.T.S OR T.R.S cables used are not much
affected by chemicals , water, and steam.
_ .C.T.S or T.R.S Wiring
Advantages
. itis easy to install and repair
. it gives better appearance
. its life is long
. it is fire proof up to a certain limit
. itis cheaper than other types of wiring
except cleat wiring
» 6. conductors have strong insulations
» 7. chemicals do not affect the conductor
insulation

uUBWNSC.T.S or T.R.S Wiring
» Disadvantages
» 1. the conductors are open and liable to
mechanical injury thus this type of wiring
cannot be used in workshops etc.
» 2. its use in places open to sun and rain is
restricted
» 3. good workmanship is suitable where acids
and alkalis to be prescut.
_ ,Metal Sheathed Wiring
» This type of wiring is adopted for low voltage
installation.
» This system is similar to C.T.S wiring except
that the cable used is different in this wiring
system.
» In this type of system conductors are
insulated with V.I.R and then covered with an
outer sheath of lead aluminium alloy
containing 95% lead and 5% aluminium.
