Fittings & Fixture Layout

 Exact location (3D information) for different Fixtures are

demonstrated.

 The input information is the ‘Purpose of use’ of a particular area in

civil layout (i.e. whether it’s a bedroom or a kitchen).

 Sufficient amount of lighting, cooling and connectivity for external

loads (i.e. 2/3 pin sockets) need to be provided.

 Location of the switchboard is an important issue as well.

 Keep the switch close to the entrance when people stay inside the
room
 For store and others you may keep it outside.

Conduit Layout

 The target is to provide an optimum design from both economic and

electrical viewpoint

 There are many scopes to improve this, so try to be innovative.

 Calculate all the loads for the fixtures and find suitable wire to be used.

 Choose appropriate conduit from tables.

 Always remember that wires are more expensive than conduits. So the
layout should focus more to optimize use of wires.

 Try to avoid coarse wires if possible.

Switchboard Connection Diagram

 Demonstration of each and every switchboard with

connectivity to different loads through proper switching
methods.

 Explaining which outlet is governed by which

switchboard.

 Representation of exact wire size and numbers.

 Representation of safety equipments (i.e. fuses & circuit

breakers ) with proper ratings.

08/27/20 United International University 9

Distribution Board Connection Diagram

 Demonstration of each and every switchboard with connectivity to the

main Distribution Board.

 It’s not necessary to draw conduits to each switchboard. In large

designs, only one conduit may carry the wires for a group of
swithcboards.

 Demonstration of protective devices with proper current ratings.

 Location of MDB/SDBs are significant issue.
