5. EASY ENGINEERING
Cheapest
wiring
Lowest
initial cost
Lowest
labor
Suitable for
temp wiring
Mostly in
open air
Hence easy
fault finding

6. EASY ENGINEERING
CLEAT WIRING
Suitable only for low voltage
Insulation weakens after some time
Poor appearance
Risky
Not long lasting

• Batten wiring
– Wires run on wooden strip called batten
– Wires are binded with batten using clips.
– Now no more in use

10. EASY ENGINEERING
• Advantages
– Cheap
– Easy to locate fault
– Average appearance
– Easy to alter and add new points

11. EASY ENGINEERING
• Disadvantages
– Since open in air, weather affects a lot
– Chemicals, smoke also affects
– Fire risk
– Not suitable for outdoor

12. EASY ENGINEERING
Casing Caping wiring
– A lower part called CASE is fixed on walls
– Upper cape called CAPE can be pressed to fit on
Case
– Thus wires are protected
– Usually used, when wiring is required to add later
on

14. EASY ENGINEERING
• Advantages of casing caping wiring
– Safe from smoke, chemicals etc
– Easy to locate fault
– Easy to add circuits later on
– Cheap
– Fast to install

15. EASY ENGINEERING
• Disadvantages of Casing caping wiring
– Risk of fire is always there
– Not recommended for important areas
– Average appearance

• Advantage of Conduit wiring
– Shock proof
– Weather proof
– Longer life
– No risk of damage

18. EASY ENGINEERING
• Disadvantages of Conduit wiring
– Difficult fault finding
– Hard to add new circuits in future
– Expensive
– Installation takes time and labour

21. EASY ENGINEERING
CONCEALED WIRING
• Conduits are placed inside the wall
• Modern type
• Considered as Most attractive
• Fire proof
• Weather proof
• Long lasting
• SAFEST

22. EASY ENGINEERING
• Disadvantages of Concealed wiring
– Very Hard to locate fault
– Fault repair may damage walls or ceiling
– Very costly
– Installation takes much time
– Hard to add new circuits

SUMMARY
• Wiring is path of conductors for transferring
electrical power to load
• Cleat, Batten, Casing-capping, Metal/PVC conduit
& concealed wiring are the different types
• Concealed wiring is the safest and most used
• Cleat wiring is temporary wiring
• Batten wiring is done on teak wood strip but now
obsolete
