DOMESTIC WIRING
WIRING SYSTEM
A wiring system is a network of wires connecting various accessories for the
distribution of electrical energy from the supplier’s meter board to the numerous
electrical energy consuming devices such as lamps, fans and other domestic
appliances through controlling and safety devices.
The supplier’s service cable feeding an installation terminates in what is usually
called the service fuse or MCB. In an ordinary house the service fuse is known
as a service cut out, such cut outs including service meters remain the property
of the supplier and represents the furthest point of the supplier responsibility. The
point at which the consumer’s wiring is connected into the cut out is known as the
point of commencement of supply or consumer’s terminal.

METHODS OF WIRING
There are two methods of wiring, these being
a) Joint box or Tee system
b) Loop in system
Joint box or Tee system: In the joint box system the connections to the lamps
are made through joints made in joint boxes by means of suitable connectors or
joint cut-outs.
Loop in system: This system is universally employed for connections of various
lamps and other appliances in parallel. In this system when a connection is
required at a light or switch, the feed conductor is looped in by bringing it direct to
the terminal and then carrying it forward again to the point to be fed
SYSTEMS OF WIRING
The types of internal wiring usually employed include
1. Cleat wiring
2. Wooden casing and capping wiring
3. CTS or TRS wiring
4. Metal or lead sheathed wiring
5. Conduit wiring
a) Surface or open type
b) Recessed or concealed type
1. Cleat wiring. In this system the VIR or PVC conductors are supported in
porcelain cleats. These cleats are made in two halves one of which is
grooved to receive the wire and the other half is put over it and the whole of it
is fixed on the wall by means of screws which further tightens the grip of the
wires between the two halves of the cleats.
Advantages
1. It is the cheapest method of internal wiring
2. Its installation and dismantling is easy and quick
3. Material is recoverable after dismantlement
4. Inspection, alterations and additions can easily be made
5. Skill required is little
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 2
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
Disadvantages
1. It is not good looking
2. It is quite temporary and perishes quickly
3. The wires are exposed to mechanical injury
4. The insulation catches dampness from the atmosphere and a common
salt like substance appears on the insulation which lowers the insulation
resistance and causes leakage. Hence this system of wiring can not be
used in damp places.
5. Oil and smoke are injurious to VIR insulation
Application
The wiring of this type is suitable for temporary installations in dry places.
This is also acceptable where appearance is not so important and cheapness
is the main consideration. This system is not suitable for use in domestic
premises.
2. Wooden casing and capping wiring. In this system VIR or PVC or any
other approved insulated cables are carried through wooden casing
enclosures, which are made from first class seasoned teak wood. The casing
consists of V-shaped grooves (usually two to hold the cables of different
polarities in different grooves),
which is covered at the top by means of a rectangular strip of wood known as
capping, of the same width as the casing. The capping is screwed to the
casing by means of wood screws.
Advantages
1. Cheap in cost as compared to lead sheathed and conduit wiring system.
2. Easy to install and rewire
3. It provides good insulation as conductors are a good distance apart.
4. Free from trouble of condensation, so advantageous in tropical countries
where there might be trouble of condensation of moisture in steel conduits.
5. Easy to inspect by opening the capping,
Disadvantages
1. This type of wiring even when coated with paint or shellac varnish is not
damp proof, so it can not be used in damp places.
2. Since the risk of fire is high it can not be used where there is a possibility of
a fire hazard.
3. Since it requires better workmanship, it has a high labour cost.
4. This type of wiring can only be used on the surface, it can not be
concealed in the plaster.
Application
This type of wiring is suitable for low voltage domestic installations in dry
places and where there is no risk of fire hazard.
oval shape. Usually single core cables are preferred. TRS cables are
sufficiently chemical proof, water proof, steam proof and are unaffected by
acids, alkalis and climatic variations but are slightly affected by lubricating oil.
TRS cables may be run on the surface of the wall or buried in plaster but
usually the cables are run on well seasoned, perfectly straight and well
varnished (on all four sides) teak wood batten of thickness of about
10mm.The width of the batten depends on the number and size of cables to
be carried by it. The cables are held on the wooden batten by means of
tinned brass link clips already fixed on the batten with brass pin spaced at
intervals.
Advantages
1. Its installation is easy and quick, saving in labour which largely
compensates for the extra cost of cable.
2. Its life is long
3. It can withstand the action of most chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
4. Within certain limits it is fire proof.
5. It is cheaper than other types of wiring except cleat wiring.
6. If the job is carried out with proper attention, it gives a nice appearance.
Disadvantages
1. Good workmanship is required to make a sound job in TRS wiring.
2. This type of wiring is not recommended for use in situation open to the sun
or rain unless preventive steps are taken to preserve the insulation of the
cable.
Application
The TRS wiring is suitable for low voltage installations and is extensively used
for lighting purposes everywhere i.e. in domestic, commercial or industrial
buildings except workshops where it is liable to mechanical injury.
4. Lead sheath wiring. This type of wiring employs conductors insulated with
VIR and is covered with an outer sheath of lead aluminium alloy containing
about 95% lead. This metal sheath gives protection to the cable from
mechanical injury, dampness and atmospheric corrosion. The whole lead
covering is made electrically continuous and is connected to the earth at the
point of entry to protect against electrolytic action due to leakage currents and
to provide safety against the sheath becoming alive. The cables are run on
wooden batten and fixed by means of link clips as in TRS wiring.
Advantages
1. It provides protection against mechanical injury better than provided by
TRS wiring.
2. It is easy to fix as it can be run in buildings without damaging decorations
and can be painted to suit colour scheme of surrounding.
3. Its life is long if proper earth continuity is maintained.
4. It can be used in situations exposed to rain and sun provided no joint is
exposed.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 4
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
Disadvantages
1. It is more costly than TRS wiring
2. It is not suitable for places where chemical corrosion may occur.
3. Skilled labour and proper supervision is required.
4. In case of damage of insulation the metal sheath becomes live and gives
shock, to provide safety against electric shock it is necessary that the
sheath is properly earthed and an earth wire is run side by side with it and
all pieces are properly bonded or joined together so that not a single cover
is left unearthed.
Application
This type of wiring system is suitable for low voltage (up to 250V) installations.
It may be used in places exposed to the sun and rain provided no joint is
exposed. It may also be used in damp places with a suitable protective
covering. It should not be used in places where chemical corrosion may occur.
This type of wiring is not very common these days except for small installations
and distribution boards.
Advantages
1. It provides protection against mechanical damage
2. It provides complete protection against fire due to short circuits. (in metallic
conduits).
3. The whole system is water proof
4. Replacement and alteration of defective wiring is easy
5. Its life is long if the work is properly executed
6. It is shock proof
Disadvantages
1. It is a costly system of wiring
2. It’s erection is not so easy and requires time
3. Experienced and highly skilled labour is required for carrying out the job
4. Internal condensation of moisture may cause damage to the insulation
unless the system outlets are properly drained and ventilated.
Application
As conduit wiring provides protection against mechanical damage and
dampness, it is the only approved method of wiring for
i) Places where considerable dust or puff is present such as in textile mills,
saw mills, floor mills etc.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 5
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
Elbows. The change of direction in the direction of the conduit wiring is always
made by means of an elbow which provides a 90 o bend. The internal diameter
of the Elbow should not reduce as the wires are to be pulled through the
conduits after installation.
Conduit Bushings. These are used when a conduit enters a conduit box or a
hole. Bushings serve a double purpose, firstly it prevents the insulation on the
cable from being pilled off due to rubbing against the sharp edges of the
conduit when they are pulled in; secondly it helps in securing the conduit to the
conduit box.
Conduit box. Conduits are normally terminated at outlets into a box, which
may be round, square or octagonal. The boxes are provided with knockout
punch out at the time of manufacture and are held there by small sections of
knockouts, the knockouts are removed by hammering or with the twist motion
of the pliers or a blunt tool. The conduit boxes are also referred to as outlet
boxes since they are usually used for outlets. The boxes are provided with a
cover held by screws on it.
After removing the knockout the conduit is attached to the box by means of a
coupling and bushing. The conduit boxes are usually used for
· To provide connection for lights, fans, heaters etc in which case they are
called outlet boxes.
· To facilitate the pulling of conductors in the conduit in which case they are
known as inspection boxes.
· To house the junction of conductors in which case they are known as
junction boxes.
· To provide snap switches.
In the pushing method the cables are pushed into the conduits form one end of
the outlet by exerting manual pressure on them but this method is only used
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 6
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
when the conduit runs are small and straight. In the drawing method the wires
are pulled through the conduit with the help of a wire. Such a method of
drawing the wires is also called fishing.

EARTHING
Earthing is defined as the effective connecting of exposed and extraneous
conductive parts or metal works of an installation to the general mass of the earth
using a conductor of low or negligible impedance so that it has a zero or near
zero potential.
The purpose of earthing is two–fold
1. It is to minimise/prevent or ensure the safety of human beings against the
risk of electric shocks.
2. It is for ensuring that no current carrying conductor rises to a potential with
respect to the general mass of the earth than its designed insulation.
The degree of danger of electric shock depends on the amount of current and the
length of time that the current flows. At 3mA a shock is felt, 10mA to 15mA
tightening of muscles may be experienced, acute discomfort is felt. Between
25mA to 30mA the dangerous level is reached, with the extension of muscular
tightening, particularly the thoracic muscles and breathing may be impaired. Over
50mA results in the fibrillation of the heart which is generally lethal if immediate
specialist treatment is not given. Fibrillation of the heart is due to the irregular
contraction of the heart muscles. However, earthing reduces the amount of
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 26
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
current available for passage through the human body in the event of an earth
fault.
An Earthing system to be totally effective must satisfy the following conditions:
· Provide a low impedance path to earth for personnel and equipment
protection and effective circuit relaying.
· Withstand and dissipate repeated fault and surge currents.
· Provide corrosion allowance or corrosion resistance to various soil
chemicals to ensure continuous performance during the life of the
appliance being protected
· Provide rugged mechanical properties for easy driving with minimum effort
and rod damage.
EARTH ELECTRODES
Earth electrodes are conductors of low or negligible resistance (impedance) that
are used to connect an installation, equipment or device to the general mass of
the earth. The following are the types of earth electrodes that are used for
earthing pipes, plates, rods, strip or conductor, cable armour and tapes.
Note: Gas and water pipes should not be used as earth electrodes.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 27
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
aimed at all the time (up to a max of 5 ohms). When circumstances exist which
make it difficult to obtain the desired ground resistance, several methods of
lowering the ground resistance can be employed. These include,
· Driving the electrodes deeper into the earth substantially reduces the
resistance.
· Increasing the rod length i.e. doubling the rod length reduces the
resistance by about 40%. Increasing the rod diameter does not materially
reduce its resistance. Doubling the diameter reduces the resistance by
less than 10%.
· By connecting the earth electrodes in parallel.
· Chemical treatment of the soil, i.e. alternate layers of coke or charcoal and
salt are used to increase the effective area of the earth and to reduce the
earth resistance respective. (Charcoal and salt have the property of
absorbing and retaining moisture)
· A clay known as bentonite may be used for reducing the earthy resistance
due to its property of absorbing and retaining moisture.
· Artificial treatment of the soil with fly ash (from coal based thermal power
stations). Fly ash offers better grounding compared to the conventional
earthing of salt – charcoal or soft – coke.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 28

EARTHING SYSTEMS
The following are some of the earthing methods or systems of earthing, TT, IT,
TN-S, TN-C, TN-C-S.
The letter T comes from French word ‘Terre’ which means earth, it indicates
direct contact to the general mass of the earth.
The supply earthing: This is indicated by the first letter T which means that one
or more points of the supply are directly connected to earth and I means the
supply is not earthed or one point is earthed through a fault limiting impedance.
The installation earthing: This is indicated by the second letter where T means
the exposed conductive parts are connected directly to earth and N means the
exposed conductive parts are connected directly to the earthed point of the
source of the electrical supply.
The earthed supply conductor: This is indicated by the third letter where S
means a separate neutral and protective conductor and C means that the neutral
and protective conductors are combined in a single conductor.
TT SYSTEM
In this type of earthing system the neutral point of the supply transformer is
directly connected to the earth by means of an earth electrode and the
consumer’s installation is connected to the earth through a separate earth
electrode. This is the type of system that is mostly found if the installation is fed
from overhead cables.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 29
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
TN-S SYSTEM
In this earthing method, the star point of the supply transformer or the energy
source is connected to the earth by means of an earth electrode however,
instead of the consumer’s installation being directly earthed to the earth, the
earthing terminal of the installation is connected to the outer metallic sheath of
the distribution cable and ultimately the service mains or cable is also connected
to the star point. In the absence of an underground cable or sheath a continuous
earth wire (CEW) is used. Therefore, a TN-S has a separate earth or CEW and
neutral conductors through out the whole system.

TN-C SYSTEM
In this kind of earthing system the neutral and protective functions are combined
in a single conductor throughout the system, in short one conductor acts as a
neutral and earth wire. All the exposed conductive parts of an installation are
connected to the PEN conductor. A TN-C system has a combined earth and
neutral throughout inside the consumer’s installation.

DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
TN-C-S SYSTEM
The basic principle in this method is that the neutral, besides fulfilling its normal
function of carrying the load current, it also carries the earth fault current from the
consumer’s premises to the supply transformer. Thus in a TN-C-S the supply is
TN-C while the arrangement at the consumer’s installation is TN-S. This type of
earthing is also known as protective multiple earthing (PME) and the PEN
conductor is referred to as the combined neutral and earth (CNE) conductor. The
supply system PEN conductor is earthed at several points and an earth electrode
may be necessary at or near a consumer’s installation. All the exposed
conductive parts of an installation are connected to the PEN conductor via the
main earthing terminal and the neutral terminal and the neutral terminal, these
terminals being linked together. There is a separate earth and neutral inside the
consumer’s installation although there is a combined and neutral from the supply.
This type of earthing is mainly used when an installation is supplied using an
underground supply.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 34
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
IT SYSTEM
In this system of earthing all the exposed and conductive parts of the consumer’s
installation are connected to an earth electrode while the source or supply is
either connected to the earth through a deliberately introduced impedance or is
isolated from the earth. Since the supply is isolated from the earth, therefore,
there is no risk of shock or fire involved when a fault occurs. This type of supply
is used in mines, quarries and chemical processes where interruption of the
process may create a hazardous situation. The system must not be connected to
a public supply.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 35
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
METHODS OF EARTHING
Rod earthing. In this system of earthing 12.5mm diameter solid rods of copper
and 16mm diameter solid rods of galvanised iron or steel of length not less than
2.5m are driven vertically into the earth either manually or by a pneumatic
hammer. The electrode shall be driven to a depth of at least 1.25m, but if rock is
encountered, they may be buried in a horizontal trench and shall not be less than
2.5m deep.
This system of earthing is suitable for areas which are sandy in character. This
system of earthing is very cheap as no excavation work is involved unless under
special cases.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 36
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
Pipe earthing. Pipe earthing is the best form of earthing and is very cheap in
cost.
In this system of earthing, a galvanised and perforated pipe of approved length
and diameter is placed up right in a permanently wet soil. The size of the pipe
depends on the current to be carried and the type of soil. Usually the pipe used
for this purpose is of diameter 38mm and 2m in length for ordinary soil and may
be increased to 2.75 metres in case of dry rocky soil. The depth to which the pipe
is to be buried depends upon the moisture content of the soil, usually the pipe is
placed at a depth of 4.75m but in case the soil provides sufficient moisture it is
buried at a lower depth. The pipe at the bottom is surrounded by broken pieces
of coke and salt for a distance of about 15cm around the pipe. The alternate
layers of coke or charcoal and salt are used to increase the effective area of the
earth and to reduce the earth resistance respectively.
DIVERSITY FACTOR
This factor takes into account the fact that all the total connected loads supplied
by a cable will not be in use at the same time. The main application of the
diversity factor is to sub main cables which supply distribution boards to which
several outgoing sub circuits are connected.
By the application of diversity factor to the respective circuits, the current rating of
the switchgear and cables and hence the cost is considerably reduced
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 37
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 39
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
It can be seen that the application of diversity reduces the conductor size
required.
Example
Mr Mwalusi’s newly built house supplied at 240V consists of the following
connected loads
Lighting 1000W
Power points two 30A ring circuits of 13A socket outlets
Cooker 12KW
Water heater 6 KW
Determine the maximum demand for the installation after applying diversity factor.
Solution
Before Diversity After diversity
Lighting I = P/V = 1000/240 = 4.17A 4.17A x 0.66 = 2.75A
Power points I = 30A + 30A = 60A 30 + (40% x 30A) = 42A
Cooker I = P/V = 12 000/240 = 50A 10A + (30% x (50 – 10)) + 5= 27A
Water heater I = P/V = 6 000/240 = 25A 6 000/240 = 25A
Total load before diversity = 139.17A Load after diversity = 96.75A

Control relays: These are devices which relay a signal into one or more
paths. Control relays are usually actuated by pilot devices such as push
buttons or limit switches. When actuated, a control relay in turn,
operates to change the status of its contacts to effect changes in other
portions of the circuit, or to initiate actions in a distinctly isolated circuit.
A simple relay usually consists of two or more sets of contacts whose
position changes from “open” to “closed” or vice versa, when the coil is
energized or de-energized.
There are two important special versions of the simple control relay. One
is known as the “latching relay.” A latching relay actually latches into
position when the relay coil is energized. Removing power from the coil
will not cause the contacts to revert to the normal position. A second
“trip” coil must be energized to release the latching mechanism. This
feature is desirable in many types of industrial situations where it might
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 43
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
The other important version of the standard control relay is the time
delay (TD) relay. The time delay relay comes in two versions; time delay
on energizing (TDOE) and time delay on de-energizing (TDOD) of the relay
coil.
Controllers: These are generally the final output in a control or the last
step in the sequence of getting power to the load device. The controller
can be a simple load rated contractor, ordinary across the line motor
starters or relatively complex reduced voltage starters. The most common
controller encountered in the industrial plant is the ordinary magnetic
motor starter.
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 44

such as electrical heaters will also require a load rated device as the final
control circuit component ahead of the load.
Transducers; these devices were not categorized into any of the eight
classes that were defined for component normally found in
electromechanical control circuit
A transducer is a device that converts a non electrical quantity such as
temperature, pressure or fluid flow into an equivalent electrical output.
CONTACTOR
A contactor is a mechanical switching device capable of making, carrying
and breaking electric current under normal circuit conditions including
operating overload conditions.
The contactors are designed according to the method of energizing the
control circuit namely

The torque produced is two to three `times the full load torque. The value
is transmitted to shafts, bearings, belts and the driven machine so
quickly that a considerable mechanical shock is transmitted to all
connected parts. If the motor is capable of starting the connected load,
acceleration is swift. For very large motors which (which implies a heavy
MWALUSI@LBTC Page 49
DOMESTIC WIRING AND INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL
load), the mechanical shock from DOL starting can shear shafts or cause
severe belt slip which results in accelerated wears.
APPLICATION
Direct on line starting restricted to comparatively small size motors.
Motors up to 4KW (or 5HP) are normally started by DOL but in special
circumstances motors up to 25KW have been started by this way. DOL
starting is normally restricted to situations where there is little or no load
on the motor when being started. DOL starting a centrifugal pump is one
instance where the major part of the load appears after the motor has
been started when the load is gradually imposed by an increase in
pressure on the liquid being forced through the pump.

Explanation of operation
1. When the isolator and a triple pole MCB are closed a red indicator
lamp comes ON.
2. When the forward start button (start F) is pressed current flows
though the order L – fuse – O/L – stop – start F – R – contactor coil
F, thereby energizing contactor coil F.
3. When contactor F is energized, the hold on contact F closes
resulting in the motor running in the forward direction, when the
motor is running in the forward direction due to the energizing of
coil F, the red lamp goes off due to opening of contact F4, green
indicator lamp comes on due to the closing of F3, the contact F2
opens thus providing an interlock which prevents the motor to run
in the reverse direction when the start R is pressed while running
in the forward direction.
4. When the stop P.B is pressed contactor coil F de-energizers the
motor stops running in the forward direction, the green indicator
lamp goes off, the red indicator lamp comes on again, F2 and F4
closes again.
5. When the second start P.B is pressed (start R), the contactor coil R
energizes causing the hold on contract R1 to close, red lamp goes
off due to the opening of R3, yellow lamp comes on due to the
closing of R2, R4 opens (interlocks) and the motor runs in the
reverse direction.
6. When the stop P.B is pressed or an overload occurs the motor
stops running in the reverse direction due to the de-energizing of
coil R and all the contacts return to their original state.

The figure below shows how a 3 phase induction motor that is star/delta
connected can be run in forward and reverse.
Explanation of operation
1. when the isolator and triple pole MCB are switched on the circuit
can be energized
2. when the forward start button is pressed the motor runs in
forward star and then in delta i.e. contactor coil M, timer coil T1
contactor coil Y are energized instantly and the motor starts
running in forward star and later contactor coil Δ is also energized.
3. After a preset time (say 40 seconds) the normally closed to T1 opens
while the normally open closes resulting in the motor running in
delta.
4. When the motor is running in the forward direction a brown
indicator lamp comes on. The contacts C2 and M2 are interlocks for
the forward and reverse operation while contacts Y1 and Δ1, are
interlocks for the delta operation.
5. When the stop button is pressed or an overload takes place the
motor stops running and a brown indicator lamp goes off.
6. When the reverse start P.B is pressed the motor starts running in
star and then later in delta i.e. contactor coils C, Timer coil T2,
contactor coil Y and later contactor coil Δ are energized.
7. After a present time (say 40 seconds) the normally closed of T2
opens and the normally open of T2 closes resulting in the motor
running in reverse while delta connected.
8. When the motor is running in reverse (star/delta) a blue indicator
lamp will be on.
9. When the overload trips or a stop P.B is pressed the motor stops
running in the reverse direction.

Explanation of operation
1. When the isolator and the triple pole MCB are closed the circuit
can then be energized.
2. When the start button is pressed contactor coil M, Timer coil T are
energized resulting in the normally open contact of Timer T,
instantly closing and energizing contactor coil N.
3. The pressing of the start push button energizes both contactors M
and N and both motors start running at the same time. When both
motors start running the indicators lamps (yellow lamp and green
lamp) both come ON at the same time.
4. When the stop P.B is pressed motor No. 1 stops immediately (Coil
M de-energizes) and the yellow indicator lamp goes off, While motor
No. 2 comes to a stop after some time (depending on the set time
on the Timer T) and the green indicator lamp goes off as well.
5. In an event of an overload on motor No.1, motor No.1 will stop
instantly while motor 2 will only stop after a time delay (say 4
seconds).
6. In an event of an overload of motor No. 2 both motors will stop
immediately

1. When the isolator and the triple pole MCB are switched on, the circuit
can now be energized
2. When the start push button is pressed, the relay coil MC is energized
causing MC1 and MC2 to close resulting in the energizing of TR1 and
coil M
3. When coil M is energized the motor starts running for the timed
interval, after which it stops due to the opening of normally closed of
timer contact TR1
4. When TR1 closes contactor coil B is energized and the timer TR2 is
energized, after a present time TR2 closes energizing coil D, which will
result in the de-energizing of contactor coil B due to the opening of
normally closed of D.
5. When coil B gets de-energized contact B2 closes again resulting in the
motor beginning to run automatically and the whole process will begin
over again.
Note: the motor will run and stop, restart running and stop on its
own until the P.B is pressed to stop the whole process.
