Size of Wire:
The size of wire depends on the maximum current carrying capacity of the wire. For measuring
the size of wire, two types of wire gauge system are commonly used. These are
I) British Standard wire gauge.
II) American Standard wire gauge.
In the British Standard, the diameter of the wire is measure in Inches and area is SQ.inches, but
in the American Standard, the diameter of the wire measure in miles and area in circular miles.
There is a relation between British and American standard in measuring area of the wire.
Inches= 1000* miles
Square miles=circular miles *0.7854

Report:
1) Draw the different types of wire and their use.
2) Prove the relation between square miles and circular miles.

appliance is off. When we reverse the switch condition, the running appliance is in OFF
condition and other appliance is in ON condition.

For wiring, three fundamental systems should be considered. These are

i) Looping-in system
ii) Tree system
iii) Ring system
Lamp circuit wirings system:

i) Simple Circuits
ii) Series Circuits
iii) Master Switch Circuits

Experiment No-10: Learn about the conduit and fitting fixture drawing system of a house.

Objective:

1) To learn about the some precaution before drawing a building wiring

2) To learn about the drawing process of a house.

Some points related to Drawing:

• 5A receptacle points can be a three pin or two pin points, but a 15A receptacle point is
always a three pin point.

• While designing a single storied building, we are always seeing the conduits going down. So
‘conduit going down’ mark should be placed after each conduit termination.

• In fittings and fixture diagram fluorescent lights must be small in length compared to the
diameter of ceiling fan.

• Conduits must be connected to the point of appliance’s electrical connection. Not to

appliance’s outside edge. As,

Wrong Right

• Any size of conduits can be used but only those available to the market have to be used.

• 5A components are driven by 1.5 mm2 wires and 15A components from 4 mm2. 2.5 mm2 wires
are also used to drive some instruments but it is usual practice to use 4 mm2 wires for high current
rated instruments. 2.5 mm2 wires are generally used to connect switchboards if a lot of load is
connected to the switchboard and also for switchboard to distribution board connection.

• Wire should be drawn from distribution board to each switchboard. It is not necessary
to draw wires to every switchboard from distribution board, if there are several interconnected
switchboards then only one needs to be connected to the distribution board. In this way several
group of switchboards are made and each group is connected to the distribution board.

Some general concepts about a conduit layout:

• There should be as small number of cross points of conduits as possible.

Wire cross sections

are expressed as
this

• If more than one conduit is to be placed in a room then 90o alignment between the conduits
should be kept as long as possible.

• Prime target of conduit layout is to use least length of conduit not least number of them.

• There is no need to place a separate conduit for two switchboard interconnection.

Any other conduits can be used to take the connecting wire.

• Wires are cheaper than conduits, so there should be no law about how much wire is need in
a conduit layout.
