PROJECT DESIGN
OBJECTIVES
1. To design a comprehensive electrical system showing subsidiary circuits involving
various household commercial components (lamp, electrical bell, switches etc.)
2. To effectively install various types of electrical circuits, with each circuit being part of
the overall electrical system for a building, either domestic or commercial.
SETUP (METHOD)
1. All circuit breaker panels, socket outlet, switch base and PVC trunking were mounted
on the ply board.
2. The appropriate cables were run and connected to the main circuit breaker panel,
distribution panel, switches, photocell, LED lamp, electric bell, duplex plug, and E.S
sockets.
3. Power was applied to the electrical installation and all circuits were tested.
RELEVANT THEORY
After electricity generation, it undergoes a voltage boost through a step-up transformer,
elevating it to thousands of volts for efficient transmission over long distances to various
locations. Upon reaching these destinations, the electricity is directed through a step-down
transformer, reducing the voltage to 120 volts to facilitate power supply to buildings and
factories. The current then passes through the energy meter before reaching the main circuit
breaker. Subsequently, it flows into the distribution panel, distributing current to all switches
within the electrical installation.
Upon activation of the intermediate switch or either of the 2-way switches, current travels to
the energy-saving lamp and completes the circuit back to the source, resulting in the
illumination of the lamps. In instances where darkness is detected by the photocell, current
flows to the two lamps, connected in parallel, and returns to the source, causing the lamps to
illuminate. The bell switch, when activated, directs current to the step-down transformer,
lowering the voltage from 120 to 18 volts. The current then reaches the electric buzzer,
completing the circuit back to the source and causing the buzzer to sound.
Activation of the two-gang switch directs current independently to two lamps, completing the
circuit back to the source and illuminating the lamps. Finally, closing the SPST switch allows
current to flow to the socket outlet, supplying power to electrical appliances.

schematic diagram.
4. Connect power to the Primary winding of the transformer (110V)
5. Use Multitester to measure voltage at each stage of the power supply circuit.
RELEVANT THEORY
When power is supplied to the transformer, current courses through the primary winding,
generating a magnetic field that permeates into the secondary winding. This transformer
serves to decrease the voltage from 120 to 12 volts. During the phase when point A is positive
relative to point B, current flows through diode D1, traverses the coil, divides, and then
moves through the capacitor and resistor, converging at junction Y. Subsequently, the current
travels from junction Y through diode D4, completing the circuit back to the source.
Conversely, when B is positive compared to A, current follows a path through diode D3, the
coil, and then branches through the capacitor and resistor, meeting at junction Y. The current
then flows from the junction through D2 before returning to the source.
The role of the diodes in this circuit is to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current
(DC). Additionally, the coil and capacitor function as smoothing devices, effectively reducing
the ripples present in the pulsating DC output.
