LIST OF EXPERIMENT
EXPERIMENT NO. 1
APPARATUS REQUIRED-:
S. No Description Wire size Quantity
1. Single core standard wire 3.20 Sq. mm 13 pcs
2. Single core standard wire 7.20 Sq. mm 13 pcs
3. Pocket knife ------- 1 no.
4. Wire cutter ------- 1 no.
5. Side cutting plier ------- 1 no.
THEORY-: In all jobs of wiring, splicing (jointing) and termination is a necessity. The jointing is required
since the wires are manufactured in 100 meters lengths and the total length of wire used for house
wiring may be more than 100 meter. The termination of wire is needed as the wires are to be
connected to switches , holders, receptacles etc. It is important to note that all joints made must be
mechanically and electrically sound. The jointing conductors and wires should always be carried out at
outlets, i.e. in switches, ceiling roses using the looping in system or in junction boxes used specially for
this purpose. Splicing should never be done in conduit runs . but sometimes when repairing old works
jointing becomes a necessity.
2. MARRIED JOINT-:
For a wire having one strand only the joint made is called twisted joint but for wires having no.
of strands the joint made is called as married joint . the following points show how the joint is
made:
A. Remove the insulation about 10 cm , on each wire with the help of knife in a tapered fashion
as explained in twist splice.
B. Remove braid for about 2-5 cm, on each wire.
C. Separate the strands of each wire by twisting the stranded conductors in opposite direction
to that of winding.
D. Clean each of the strand gently with sand paper.
E. Retwist the strands for a length of about 5 cm.
F. Bind the twisted wire with a binding wire.
G. Cut of the middle strand.
H. Spread the individual strand as shown in figure2 (a).
I. Bring the two wires end to end with all the strands intersecting as shown in figure 2(b).
J. Hold the one of the wires in the left and wrap one of the strands of the wire around the
twisted conductor in opposite direction as shown as in figure 2(c). Repeat the process with
the other strand and so on.
K. Round off the ends with mallet or pliers.
L. Repeat the process with the other side of the wire.
A. Remove the insulation of the running wire as shown in figure 3(a) for a length of about 2.5
cm, with care & precautions as explained earlier.
B. Remove the insulation of the branch wire for a length of about 7.5 cm as shown in figure
3(b).
C. Gently clean the conductors with the help of a double zero sand paper.
D. Now keeping the branch wire at 90 degree to the running wire & with insulation of both
wires near to each other make a neck turn as shown in figure 3(c) Which grounds against the
slipping of the joints under pressure
E. With the branch wire mow give 5 to 8 turns as in the case of western union splice.

6. PIGTAIL JOINT-:
The pigtail joint is most important joint, since it is often required for termination of the wires in
switches, Holders etc. Moreover it can easily be made & unmade. For making such a joint.
A. Remove insulation from the two wires as shown earlier for a length of about 5 cm.
B. Gently clean both the conductors.
C. Keep the two wires with their insulation parallel.
D. With a plier make a number of twists as shown in figure 6.
E. Keep the length of the twists about 2.5 cm & cut off the excess conductor.
F. Round off the corners with a mallet.

Now soldier the splice & provide a tape. Similarly more than two wires can also be spliced
together to form a pigtail joint.
PRECAUTION-:
It is Important to note that all joints made be mechanically & electrically sound take care not
to injure the copper conductor.

THEORY-:
Fluorescent tube is a low pressure mercury vapour lamp. The lamp is in the form of long glass tube. The
fluorescent tubes are available in lengths of 0.61m (20 watts) and 1.22m (40 watts). The tubes are
coated from inside with phosphorous, which is used to convert ultra violet radiations into visible light
and to give the required color sensation. When the temperature increases mercury changes into vapour
form. Tungsten filaments coated with barium oxide are placed at each side of the tube. At each end of
the tube, electrode in spiral form is made of tungsten coated with electrons emitting barium. The tube
contains small amount of mercury with small quantity of argon gas at low pressure. A choke is used to
give a transient high voltage so as to initiate the electron movement. With the switch closed, the circuit
gets closed. The current flows through the choke and the starter. The starter suddenly breaks thereby
breaking the circuit. Due to high inductive property of the choke, a transient high voltage is available
across the filaments. Hence electrons are emitted and travel through the tube. Such a continuous flow
of electrons produces the sensation of light to human eyes.
PROCEDURE-:
A. Collect the materials required for this experiment.
B. Draw the layout of the given diagram in the plane paper.
C. Fix the tube holder and the polyester ballast on the tube base.
D. Phase wire is connected in the polyester ballast and neutral direct to the tube light.

THEORY-:
In this wiring , we have control to 4 bulbs by 1 single way and 3 two way switches. Suppose that ,we
have four rooms in our home and every room have 1 bulb with one switch. In starting position,
bulbs B1, B2, B3 and B4 is off(dark) when switches S1, S2,S3, and S4 is switched off position. Hence,
terminal 1 and 2 are short circuited of switch S2 when the switch is off position. And terminal 1 and
2 are open circuited of switch S1, when the switch is off position. Firstly, when we turn on the
switch S1 for the illuminate the bulb B1. So , that the terminal 1 and 2 of switch S1 is short circuited
and the bulb B1 is illuminate. After that, we are entered to second room. Operate the switch S2, the
bulb B2 is automatically turn-on and bulb B1 is automatically turn off. After that we are entered to
third room. Operate the switch S3, the bulb B2 is automatically turn off and bulb B3 is Automatically
turn on. And when we entered in the last fourth room, if we operate the switch S4, Bulb B4 is turn
on and Bulb B3 is automatically turn off. After some time we will come back, the same process is
reversly repeat ones again from room no. 4 to room no. 1.

THEORY-:
Wiring having two types of connection. First type of connection is parallel and second one is series. In
parallel connection, we are connecting all electrical accessories and appliances in parallel connections,
means phase and neutral wires both are supply provided to electrical accessories like as bulb, fan and
power sockets etc. in parallel connection phase wire is provided to current flow and neutral wire is used
for complete the circuit as well as return path conductor for closed circuit. In this type of connection,
same voltage rating capacity are provided to all electrical accessories with same frequency but current
is distributed to all electrical accessories according to its resistance of each electrical accessories. In this
type of wiring, No any kind of disturbance to operate any other electrical accessories except faulty
circuit. If any electrical accessories are fused or damaged. Very important thing is for improving the
power factor of supply, parallel wiring connection is most important.
In series connection, we are connecting all electrical accessories and appliances in series
connection, means all electrical accessories are connected together with only single phase wire such
like as shown in figure of series wiring connection diagram. In this type of connection, current rating
capacity having will be little bit different with same frequency but voltage is distributed to all electrical
accessories according to its power dissipation capacity. Whole supply of electrical accessories of
appliances is cut-off, if any electrical accessories are fused or damaged.
So, that’s why we are connected to all electrical appliances or accessories in parallel connection
to provide continue flow continue flow of supply.
