1) Explain the following terms:-

a) Cleat wiring.
=>Cleat wiring is a temporary wiring used for function and construction work. Wooden and
plastic cleats are used for this purpose.
b) Casing wiring.
=> Casing is the lower part of casing and capping wiring. It is fixed with the help of a real plug
and then the wires are layed out on the casing
c) capping wiring.
=> It is the upper and the covering part of a casing capping wiring. The capping provides
protection.
2) Explain the different types of wires.
=> The two types of wires are stranded and solid wires-
i) Solid wires-
• It is a long length of solid single conductor
• they offer low resistance, and are ideal to use in higher frequencies.
ii)Stranded wires-
• It comprises of multiple thin strands of conductor twisted together
• they are much more flexible and thus have a longer life
• these have superior cross-sectional area than solid wires for the same
Current carrying capacity.
3) Explain the various type of wood joints.
=> Some of the wooden joints are-
i) T-joint
 ii) corner joint
iii) straight point.
iv) right angled joint
i)T-joint- The end of a piece of wood is butted perpendicular against another piece of wood.
This is the simplest and weakest joint.
ii)Corner joint- The end of two pieces of wood meet at a right angle. This is also known as
dovetail joint.
iii)Straight joint- a joint between the timbers which are laid edge to edge at 180° without a
tongue and groove, dowels or overlap to bind them; also called a square joint.
iv)Right angled joint- two pieces of wood are cut at an angle of 45° degree to make a joint.

4) Write the comparison between cleat wiring, wooden casing and capping, and conduit wiring.

=>Types of lamp holders-

i)Batten lamp holder- These lamps may be of brass or bakelite, with brass plunger. The holders
are fixed on either a round block or wooden board with the help of wooden screws.
ii) Pendant lamp holders- This lamp holders is used to hang the lamp from ceiling rose, with
flexible wire. Some times these holders are provided with lamp shades, to divert the upward
light to downwards. These lamps may be made of brass or bakelite witb brass blunger.
iii)Angle lamp holder- The angle holder is used to focus the light at an angle and is fixed directly
on wall or round block with the help of screws. These lamps may be made of brass or bakelite
with brass plungers.
iv)Swivel lamp holder-These lamp holders are used for lighting of shop windows, show case etc.
It consists of ball and socket joint fitted between black plate and lamp holder for the purpose to
move the light to a wide angle
v)Bracket lamp holder-These lamp holders are used to focus the light on the floor at some angle
slightly away from the walls. Light shades can also be used for diverting all light on the floor.
Such lamps are provided with such fittings which make the water proof. The bracket may be of
wood aluminium or brass.
vi) Fluorescent lamp holder- These are used to hold fluorescent bulbs. Generally pin type
holders are used.
6) Differentiate between wires and cables.
7) Distinguish between PVC and metal conduits.
=>i) Pvc conduits is made of flexible plastic tube that is moisture resistant and flame retardant.
It is easy to bend and installs with snap lock or glued plastic fittings. Pvc type conduits are non
corossive and water tight so they are suitable for direct burial.
ii) Metallic conduits are much more rigid and stronger so they are harder to bend and install. It
is commonly used for outdoor purposes. Metallic conduits are not suitable for corossive
environment.
8) What is importance of wiring? Discuss.
=>Wiring has become a vital and necessary part of life in the 21 st century. We can enjoy lighting,
heat and cooling at our homes thanks to electrical wiring. By powering television and
computers it keeps us in touch with the outside world and by powering alarms and security
system it keeps our homes and families safe. Electrical wiring also helps us stay cool in the
summer and warm in the winter by powering different appliances. Without it, we would
literally be in the dark
9)What is signification of specification of electrical appliances? Discuss.
=> Electrical equipment exists in a wide variety of types, sizes , quality .So specifications are
used for electrical equipment due to significance of getting the appropriate parts. Electrical
equipment often serve as a wide market and industries, from residential installations,
commercial projects to large plants. For this reason specification is provided so that the user
can purchase the most appropriate tools.
