REALIZATION OF A STAIRCASE CIRCUIT USING WEEK TIME DELAY SWICTH 7

Objective: To install a time delay circuit to control the light in four stair
building. Introduction: This circuit can be accomplished by using two-way and two intermediate switches. In this case the circuit is controlled manually and
^

could remain ON all night when forgotten, which isn't desirable. To overcome this problem a time delay switch is used. This switch consists of a coil and a mechanical system allowing the control of a main contact. When the coil is energized the main contact closes/ turning ON the circuit. The circuit is turned OFF automatically after a determined time, the time necessary to go up the stairs/ for example/ Fig. (1.8) shows a simple circuit which indicates the connections of the time delay switch and the lamps.

TITLE: REALIZATION OF POLARITY TEST Objective: To connect a simple circuit and to perform the polarity test on it. Introduction: This test is carried out to ensure that all protective devices and single pole controls, (e.g one-way switches) are connected in the phase conductor only. In addition the test confirms that socket outlets "\J' terminals are connected to the phase conductor/ "N" terminals are connected to the neutral conductor and the "E" terminals are connected to the earth continuity conductor (E.C.C) It also confirms that the centre contact of Edison-type screw (E.S) lamp holders are connected to the phase side of the supply. Tests are carried out with all switches dosed, lamps and equipment removed. The test instrument can be a continuity tester, or a low- reading ohmmeter if no main supply is available. If the circuit is "live" a test lamp with approved and fused leads and test probes can be used. Fig. (1.9 ) shows how polarity test is carried out on an "E.S" lamp holder.

REALIZATION OF EARTHING TEST

WEEK 9

Objective: To connect up a lighting circuit and to perform the earthing test on it. Introduction: This test is required to find the resistance of the continuity conductors (ECC) in order to verify that these conductors are correctly connected and electrically sound. This is important from safety point of view. It shows that when an earth leakage fault occurs, the resistance to the fault current flowing through these conductors (ECC) is low enough to result in melting the fuse or opening the circuit breaker protecting the circuit. The readings obtained for the resistances of the (ECC) should not exceed 1 ohm. Fig. (1.10) shows how this test is carried out in socket circuits. Note that the resistance or impedance of the complete earth-fault path is not taken into account by this test/ and the test for this impedance is outside the scope of this book.

REALION OF INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST

WEEK 10

REALIZATION OF INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST Objective: To perform insulation tests on a simple circuit. Introduction: The purpose of the insulation-resistance (IR) test is to ensure that the quality of the insulating materials used in the installation is good/ particularly the insulation of the circuit conductors. Fig. (1.12). a - Insulation test between conductors ( L and N) b - Insulation test between conductors and earth ( "L/ N" and E) The instrument used for making this test is the megger. The testing voltage should be twice the working voltage of the installation in order to stress the insulation to check if it has been damaged or deteriorated. The minimum acceptable value of insulation resistance is 1M -n/ but this value will not always remain the same. It depends on many factors like/ the number of outlets (i.e switches, lighting fittings/ socket outlets/ etc), the moisture and dirt being present on the wiring/ fittings and accessories. Before carrying this test/ it is essential to disconnect any neons and capacitors from the circuit because they will upset the readings/ obtained. In addition any device which contain semi-conductor components must also be disconnected as they can be damaged by the test voltage.

REALIZATION OF CON TINUITY TEST

WEEK 11

Objective: To perform the continuity test. Introduction: This test is made to ensure that the conductors are continuous throughout their length and are good conductors in that, their resistance is zero or nearly zero. The instrument used to carry out this test is the continuity tester or a low-reading ohmmeter. In ring main circuits the test is made to ensure that the conductors (Line/ neutral earth) are electrically continuous and to make sure that there is no breaks or disconnection in these conductors. An actual break could exist in the ring circuit without detection because one conductor will remain connected to the supply and could thus be overloaded. Equipment and tools: - P.V.C conduits with accessories. - 3 13A socket outlets - 3 flash boxes. - 2.5mm2 P.V.C cables (Red/ black, green/yellow). - Hacksaw - Grip vice - Smooth file - Electrician tool box.

Note: Make sure/ td^MSct 240V to the primary side. Connections between the secondary side of the transformer and door locking unit, Step 8: Run one wire from the secondary side of the transformer to one terminal of the door lock. Connections between the secondary side of transformer and the bell push. Step 9: Run the second terminal of the secondary side of the transformer to one terminal of the bell push. Connections between bell push and the door lock. Step 10: Connect the second terminal of the bell push directly to second terminal of the door lock.
