• General rules of domestic wiring.
1. Cut-out on consumer’s premises.
2. Meters, maximum demand indicators and other

apparatus on consumer Premises.
3. Weatherproof wire for service connection with

sufficient current carrying capacity.
4. All conductor/wire should be safesage in all term of

voltage rating with proper insulation.
Circuit Cut_Outs
Electrical Lay Out of a Residential Building
5. Every line or phase should be protected by suitable
rating fuse.
6. In metal conduit wiring metal conduit pipe should be

solidly earthed.
7. Each load point / appliances should have an independent

control switch.
8. In any building. the wiring installation, there must be

separate sub circuits for light/fan/3 pin socket load
and for 3 pin socket 15 Amp. power load.
9. In any light/fan and the number of load points
connected in one sub circuit should be less than
10(ten).
10. In any power sub circuit, the maximum Load should

not be more than 3000 watts and the number of
power point should be up to two only.
11. The rating of fuse in any circuit should not be less

than half the capacity of the lowest size cable. In
any sub-circuit the fuse rating should not be more
than 5 amp.
12. The earthed terminals of all 3 pin sockets outlets and
plugs should be permanently connected to the earth
wire.
13. Sufficient number of 3 pin socket outlets should be

provided at suitable places in all rooms of the building
14. In the bath rooms. the 3 pin socket should be at a

height of not less than 1.5 m.
15. All ceiling fans are to be hung 2.75 m above the floor
level refer IS :4648 -1968.
Industrial Grade Socket
16. In the domestic wiring earth wire should be of 14
SWG GI for single phase supply and for 3 phase
supply system earth wire must be of 8 SWG GI.
17. If the load on any domestic wiring installation

exceeds 6.0 KW. then 3 phase, 415 V, 50 Hz, 4
wire supply should be used. The load on 3 phases
should be properly balanced.
18. when the covered area in the building complex is

more than 5000 m2 and the total load is more
than 1000kva. A separate sub station is required
to be installed.
Purpose of Estimating and costing
• Before starting of a new program it is necessary to
know:
- The necessary material required and

—The cost involved in it.
• So,
—It is necessary to make a complete project report

for the said program.
—As it acts as a complete guide in successful

implementation of ourprogram.
Steps Involved in Estimation
Domestic Wiring Panel
Single Line Diagram
• A single line diagram also called the one-line diagram is a symbolic or
graphical representation of a three-phase power system.
• It has a diagrammatic representation of all the equipment and
connections. The electrical elements such as circuit breakers,
transformers, bus bars, and conductors, are represented using
standardized schematic symbols so that they can be read and
understood easily.
• In a single line diagram, instead of representing each of three phases
with separate lines, only a single conductor is represented using a
single line.
• A single line diagram makes it easy to understand an electrical system,
particularly in the case of complicated systems in substations.
• It helps in a detailed study and evaluation of the system and its
efficiency.
Advantages of Single Line Diagram:
• Gives an overall understanding of the system and

eases evaluation.
• Simplifies the troubleshooting process and
makes it faster.
• Ensures the safety of personnel and makes
maintenance more convenient.
• Ensures a safer and more reliable operation of
the system.
