DISTRIBUTION BOARD

How earthing system works to protect?

The earthing wire made of the appropriate material generating from
the metallic parts of the equipment is connected with the earth
electrode and buried underground. The earth’s resistance is zero or
minimum, and hence if any leakage occurs, the current passes through
the earth quickly without harming the equipment. Thus, the equipment
and the operator both are safeguarded against the leakage current
shocks.
Even in case of heavy leakage, the current pass effectively through the
earthing system. If a heavy leakage occurs, then the use installed in the
system blows up and protects the system

Electrical Service Panel
An electrical service panel is the link between the external wires coming
from the street and the internal electrical wires of the home’s electrical
system. It is the central distribution point that connects the service wire to
the exit wires.
The home electrical panel is generally kept away from the main household
activities. These locations may include the garage, hallway leading to the
garage, basement, and closet.
You can find your electrical service panel by locating the service drop and
service head on your roof. Usually, the service panel should be directly
below, in one of the home’s stories. If the power lines are buried, the line will
usually start on the street and connect to the home from the front or side of
the house.
1. Cleat Wiring
Cleats with groves are used to hold the cable. It is a temporary wiring system so not used in typical house
constructions
2. Casing Wiring
Open wiring system where the wires are run through casing enclosure and capping is used to
cover the casing.
3. Batten Wiring

Single or a group of wires are laid over a wooden batten. The wires are hold to the batten using a
brass clip, which is attached to the wooden battens at an interval of 10-15 cms
4. Conduit Wiring
Cleats with groves are used to hold the cable. It is a temporary wiring system so not used in typical house
constructions
Surface Conduit Wiring
PVC or GI conduits are laid on the surface of the
wall or ceiling. These conduits are attached to the
walls with a 2-hole strap and base clip at a regular
certain distances. Electrical wires are laid inside the
conduits.
 Concealed Conduit Wiring
PVC conduit pipes are placed inside the chiselled
brick/block wall before plaster. The wall is later
completely plastered and painted. Electrical wires are
laid inside the conduits. This type of wiring are
aesthetically appealing since they are no electrical
wires/conduits seen on the top of the wall.
