QUESTIONS 1. What are the two types of breaker that are used in this experiment? = Miniature Circuit Breaker(MCB), Residual Current Circuit Breaker(RCCB) 2. What is the function of the earthing wire? = Earthing wire is used to protect someone from an electric shock as it flow the current back to the source. 3. What are the differences between one way switch and two way switch? = One way switch has two terminals while two way switch have three terminals 4. Why we need to do the wiring testing? = To avoid electrical leakage from the circuit 5. What are the electrical wire colour codes? =Blue for Neutral, Brown for Live, Green for Earth.
INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS 1. All experimental results and answers must be recorded in the Lab Manual. 2. Write a short report which include results, questions, discussion and conclusion. 3. Submit your report through MS teams. Discussion
This experiment is about wiring installation system where it conclude basic
concepts of electrical power, earthing, distribution systems and wiring. Wiring system is an installation system that consists of conductor, insulator, mechanical protection and electrical accessories. There two types of final circuit which are lighting circuit and power circuit. A lighting circuit is a wiring system that provides power to electric lights and is used for running low power rating devices. Meanwhile, power circuit is a measure of how quickly it converts energy.
There are main switch and insulation tester where Miniature Circuit Breaker(MCB) and Residual Current Circuit Breaker(RCCB) comes into play. MCB is an electromechanical device designed to protect an electric circuit from over-current or short circuit. RCCB is a device to detect and trip against electrical leakage currents.
Moreover, there two types of switches mentioned in this experiment which are one-way switch, and two-way switch. One-way switch is used when there are one switch for a light, for example a bedroom ceiling light. One-way switch has two terminals. Two-way switch is used for a light from two different locations and mostly used in the case of stairs, or toilet. One way switch has three terminals.
Based on the experiment, Table 6.1, shows that the resistance are the same which is infinity for three types of insulation test, phase & neutral, phase & CPC, neutral & CPC. For the continuity test on phase, neutral and CPC, the resistance is also the same which is 0.8Ω. Lastly for polarity test, three of them has continuity. Conclusion
In a nutshell, student are able to understand the basic concepts of electrical power, earthing, distribution systems and wiring. There are also able to understand the wiring diagram and wiring installation method for a lighting circuit. Then, they understand trunking system. Moreover, the student also understands the wiring of one-way switch nad two-way switch. Furthermore, they are also able to understand the inspection and testing method for a wiring circuit. Lastly, they understands the steps and safety to power up the lighting circuit.
