INTRODUCTION
To illuminate a lecture hall measuring 30m x 20m using 40 tube light fittings (each 20 watts),
supplied by single-phase 230V, 50Hz AC power from the center of one of the 30m long walls:
Therefore, the lecture hall would have an approximate illumination level of 133.33 lux.

CALCULATIONS
1. Total Lighting Load ( 40 Tube ) : 40 x 20W = 800 W
2. Total Power Load : 1 x 2000W = 2000 W
3. Total Connected Load = Total Lighting Load + Total Power Load
= 800 + 2000
= 2800 W
4. Rating of Main Fuse :
= 2800W / 230V
= 12.17 A
= 13 A ( Approx. )

DB (Distribution Board) 6-way measuring 205 x 210 x 100mm.
Dimensions: The dimensions of the DB are 205mm (width) x 210mm (height) x 100mm
(depth)
Number of Ways: The DB has 6 ways, meaning it can accommodate connections for up to 6
electrical circuits.
Material: Typically, DBs are made of fire-resistant plastic or metal for safety.
Mounting: It may feature pre-drilled holes for easy mounting on a wall or surface.
Features: It might include features such as transparent or opaque cover, DIN rail for
mounting circuit breakers or MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers), neutral and earth bars for
connections, and cable entry/exit points.
Applications: DBs are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to
distribute electrical power to various circuits safely.
The main fuse with a rating of 30A typically refers to a fuse used in the main
electrical distribution panel or fuse box of a building.
Rating: The main fuse has a current rating of 30 amperes (30A), which indicates the
maximum current it can safely handle before interrupting the circuit.
Type: Main fuses can be of various types, including cartridge fuses, plug fuses, or circuit
breakers. The specific type depends on the design of the electrical system and local
regulations.
Voltage Rating: Main fuses are typically rated for the voltage of the electrical system they
are installed in, such as 120V, 240V, or higher.
6
Construction: The main fuse may be housed in a fuse holder or fuse carrier, which provides
protection and allows for easy replacement.
Installation: Main fuses are installed at the point where power enters the building's electrical
system, often in the main distribution panel or fuse box.

Types: 5A switches come in various types, including single-pole, double-pole, and
intermediate switches. They may also be available as rocker switches, toggle switches, or
push-button switches, depending on the design and application.
Applications: These switches are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial
electrical installations to control lighting circuits, small appliances, and other low-power
electrical devices.
A ceiling rose is a type of electrical fixture used to suspend and connect light
fittings or pendant lamps from a ceiling
Appearance: A ceiling rose typically consists of a circular, often decorative, plate attached to
the ceiling. It usually has one or more openings or terminals for connecting electrical wires.
Material: Ceiling roses are commonly made of materials such as plastic, metal, or plaster.
They may feature various finishes or decorative elements to complement different interior
styles.
Functionality: Ceiling roses serve multiple functions. They provide a secure anchor point for
attaching light fittings to the ceiling and also conceal electrical wiring connections, making
the installation neater and safer.
Wiring Connections: Ceiling roses have terminals or connectors inside them where electrical
wires from the light fitting and the power supply are connected. These connections are
typically made using screws or terminal blocks.

A 2-way junction box is a type of electrical enclosure used to connect two
electrical circuits or conductors
Purpose: A 2-way junction box serves as a junction point for two electrical cables or wires,
allowing them to be connected securely and safely.
Number of Entries: Typically, a 2-way junction box has four entries: two entries for
incoming cables and two entries for outgoing cables. This allows for connections to be made
in various configurations, such as in-line or side-by-side.
Material: Junction boxes are commonly made of plastic, metal, or fiberglass. The choice of
material depends on factors such as the application environment, durability requirements, and
wiring regulations.
Size: Junction boxes come in various sizes to accommodate different wiring configurations
and space constraints. The size of a 2-way junction box may vary depending on the
manufacturer and specific model.
