WHAT IS ELECTRICAL WIRING ?
Electrical Wiring is a process of connecting cables and
wires to the related devices such as fuse, switches,
sockets, lights, fans etc. to the main distribution board
is a specific structure to the utility pole for continues
power supply.
Methods of Electrical Wiring Systems

Wiring (a process of
connecting various JOINT BOX SYSTEM
accessories for distribution OR
of electrical energy from
supplier’s meter board to TEE SYSTEM
home appliances such as
lamps, fans and other
domestic appliances is LOOP IN SYSTEM
known as Electrical Wiring)
can be done using two
methods which are:
JOINT BOX SYSTEM OR TEE SYSTEM

• Connections made through

joints.
• Joints are made in joint boxes
by means of suitable
connectors or joints cutouts.
• Less wire is used
• Cheaper system
• Joint boxes are quite
expensive
• For temporary installation
LOOP IN SYSTEM

• Universally used in wiring.

• Lamps and other appliances
are connected in parallel so
that each of the appliances
can be controlled individually.
 ADVANTAGES
• It doesn’t require joint boxes and so
money is saved
• No joint is concealed beneath floors
or in roof spaces.
• Fault location is made easy as the
points are made only at outlets so
that they are accessible
DISADVANTAGES
• Length of wire or cables required is
more and voltage drop and copper
losses are therefore more.
• Looping – in switches and lamp
holders is usually difficult
Different Types of Electrical Wiring Systems

Wooden Casing
CTS or TRS or PVC
Cleat Wiring and Capping
Sheath Wiring
Wiring

Lead Sheathed or
Metal Sheathed Conduit Wiring
Wiring
There are additional types of conduit wiring according to
Pipes installation (Where steel and PVC pipes are used for
wiring connection and installation).
• Surface or open Conduit type
• Recessed or concealed or underground type Conduit

 ADVANTAGES
• Simple and Cheap wiring system
• Most suitable for temporary use i.e.
under construction building or army
camping
• As the cables and wires of cleat
wiring system is in open air,
Therefore fault in cables can be seen
and repair easily.
• Installation is easy and simple.
• Customization can be easily done in
this wiring system e.g. alteration and
addition.
• Inspection is easy and simple.
DISADVANTAGES
• Appearance- Not Good.
• Cleat wiring can’t be use for permanent
use.
• The cables and wiring is in open air,
therefore, oil, Steam, humidity, smoke, rain,
chemical and acidic effect may damage the
cables and wires.
• It is not lasting wire system because of the
weather effect , risk of fire and wear & tear.
• Can be only used on 250/440 Volts on low
temperature.
• Risk of fire and electric shock.
• Can’t be used in important and sensitive
location and places.
