Some points related to this lecture:

Miniature circuit breakers are used to supply power to high current rated
equipments. It is rated 20A and direct connection to the distribution board is
necessary for it.

Telephone grommets are connected via PVC pipes for internal connection
inside home.

Two way switch: Two way switches are special type of switching condition
where an appliance is driven by two switches from two different locations (two
different switch-boards). There are two ways to use a two way switch. First one
is to connect two switches in parallel as shown in figure 1. Second method is to
use SPDT (Single Pole Double Through) switches. This is shown in figure 2. In
first procedure it is customary that a pair of wire has to be drawn from each
switch board to the appliance. But in the second one three wires are drawn.
The reason is explained below.

Description of Protecting Devices

Main features of protecting devices:

Sensitivity
Selectivity
Reliability
Quickness:
Non-interference with future expansion

Relays
Types of relays:

(i) According to construction and principle of operation:

Attracted Armature Type
Solenoid Type
Electro dynamic Type
Induction type
Thermal Type
Moving coil type

(ii) According to application:

Over Voltage/ Over Current /Over Power Relay
Under voltage/ Under Current /Under Power Relay
Directional or Reverse Power Relay
Directional or Reverse Current Relay
Differential Relay
Distance Relay

(iii) According to Timing Characteristics:

Instantaneous Relay
Definite Time Lag Relay
Inverse Time Lag Relay

Fuse
Fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide overcurrent protection, of either
the load or source circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows
through it, interrupting the circuit that it connects. Short circuits, overloading, mismatched loads, or device failure
are the prime reasons for excessive current. Fuses are an alternative to circuit breakers.
A fuse must fulfill following criteria:

1.A fuse must open the circuit before any harm is caused to the system.
2.During normal operating conditions fuses must not have any effect over circuits.

3.A fuse must sense a short circuit or overload.

4. Grounding and Hazards

a. Grounding by the electric utility

b. Grounding by the electrician

1. Fire Hazard

2. Shock Hazard

Two basic rules must be followed when working near an electrical circuit.
They are,

1. Always turn off power before working on a circuit.

2. Confirm that the circuit is de-energized by checking that it is off using a voltage tester.

There are several ways to make sure that a circuit is in de-energized state.

A good practice to see whether a circuit is in off state or not is to connect a lamp across it and see
if it lits up or not.
If the circuit is equipped with fuses then removing a particular fuse will make sure that specific
portion of a circuit is removed from the system.
If circuit breaker is used, switching it off will do the same job.
Another way to make sure that circuit is absolutely dead is as follows.
A portion of the circuit is connected to ground. So a huge current flow through the conductor
making nearby fuse to be melt down. As a result circuit is isolated.
