Single Phase Boards


We started out with a blank board like this

















Then we were given a book that had details of what we needed to create
. (a single phase house installation) We were then given the correct parts to
achieve the objective. I sta
rted out by laying put my wall in pe
ncil. Then I put up the flush boxes and other components.








The Next thing I did was wire up my switch board as per the diagram we received in a hand out. At first i wired the
RCD's in wrong with the feed going the wrong way. But after a discussion with the lecturer this didn't matter but best practice was to do it as per the wiring diagram on the RCD. So i re wired my switch board. Here is the final product.




After this I ran
wires and connected up components such as lights, GPO, Range etc. Then I finished off by running the wires for the Meter board. Here is the Fina
l product.

Last couple of weeks of the term

Well in the last couple of weeks in the term I managed to accomplish a lot. I managed to nearly finish my wiring board and learnt a lot about cable selection and maximum demand!
I have been doing a little bit of study over the holidays and that has help a bit. I have also decided to update my blog :D

I have uploaded some images in a different post of my board as a work in progress.
