What is Electrical Wiring and type of Electrical Wiring fitting

What Is The Type Of Electrical Wiring Fitting

 Electrical Wiring Fitting

Electrical wiring have been in homes since a very old time, if you have seen the old electrical wiring fittings elsewhere, you must have seen that it is quite different from today. Because earlier electric wire fittings were used. It was done in a different way which used to take too much time and It was not as safe as today.

In the earlier post, we talked about electric pipe fittings in the house, how we can make electric pipe fittings in the house. There are 4 ways to do electrical pipe fittings in the house. Today's way of Conduit Wiring: - When we are building a house, we press the electric pipe inside the concrete which we call Conduit Wiring. Concealed means hidden or hidden. So that its name is Concealed Wiring.

There is another way which we get to see in common houses. Above the walls, we make fittings by placing pipes which are visible from outside. We call it Casing and Capping Wiring. This pipe fitting is very easy to do. But out of these two, the concealed wiring is better, it has more benefits. Below you have given all kinds of names.

 Type Of Electrical Wiring Fitting

  1. Cleat wiring
  2. Batten wiring
  3. Casing And Capping Wiring
  4. Conduit Wiring

1. Cleat Wiring

Cleat Wiring

This method is a very old method in which electric wires were fitted over plastic or wood. But this electrical fitting could only be done for some time. We could not keep it forever. Because there was a lot of danger in this electrical fitting, we could not do it even at home.

Benefits of Cleat Wiring

  • This fitting was very easy and cheap.
  • This method was very good for temporary fitting where some kind of construction is going on or an army camp.
  • In this fitting all the stars were visible from outside so it was very easy to repair it.

Cleat Wiring Disadvantages

  • This fitting doesn't look good
  • We cannot keep this fitting permanent because it gets loose after a few days.
  • As we told, this fitting keeps the cable out, so it has the effect of every kind of environment, so if
  • If you have low quality wire, then it will spoil very quickly.
  • In this meeting, the weather has a great effect on the stars, so there is a very high risk of it breaking and burning.
  • We can only use this fitting at low temperatures from 220 to 440 voltages.

2.Batten Wiring

Batten Wiring

Wiring is a very old method in which all wires are tied with an iron clip on top of a wooden strip and this collection is used in very large quantities so that the wire closes perfectly with some wooden strip. Go. This clip is like a belt to watch. Which is placed on top of the first strip and then by laying wires on top of the strip, it is tied well with this clip.

Advantages of Batten Wiring

  • This wiring is very simple and easy to do.
  • This wiring method is cheaper than other wiring.
  • This wiring also looks great.
  • It is also easy to repair this wiring.

Batten Wiring Disadvantages

  • We cannot do this wiring in the open outside the house.
  • This wiring is not protected from the external environment because it has a great impact on the weather.
  • You cannot use heavy wire in this wiring.
  • This wiring is enough for only 220 Volt.

3.Casing And Capping Wiring

This wiring is very popular. Because this wiring fitting is very easy to do and it is also very cheap. And if it is done above the walls, then anyone can fit it very easily. In this wiring fitting, the wires are placed inside the Plastic Casing Enclosures. It is a kind of open fitting but due to Plastic Casing Enclosures it is covered from the top so that it also looks good and is more secure.
Capping Wiring

As you can see in the photo above, how it can be closed and opened. So first a part of it is fitted on top of the wall and then it is covered by putting wire inside it.

Advantages of Casing Capping Wiring

  • This wiring system is much easier and cheaper than other wiring systems.
  • This wiring system is very strong and long lasting.
  • You can make changes to this wiring very easily.
  • If the environment does not have much effect on it, you can do it outside too.
  • There is no risk of electric shock as it covers the wires well

Disadvantages of Casing Capping Wiring

  • If there is a fire in the wires inside it, then this whole fitting can burn.
  • It has the effect of chemical and hit. Because it is made of plastic
  • It costs more for repairing and requires more material.
  • If you use wooden casing & capping, then there is a risk of termites on it.

4. Conduit Wiring

Conduit Wiring

Conduit Wiring Conduit Fittings: - This fitting is very much famous today. In this wiring all the wires are fitted by a pipe. This wiring is done in two main ways.

  1. Surface Conduit Wiring
  2. Concealed Conduit Wiring

1. Surface Conduit Wiring


Casing is like Capping Wiring. This fitting is done on the outside of the wall and roof. But pipe is used in this wiring so that it becomes more secure and lasts longer.

2. Concealed Conduit Wiring


Concealed Conduit Wiring System is the best wiring system. For this, you have to press the pipe inside the concrete at the time of your construction. The roof pipe that will be in it, you only need to press inside the concrete while constructing it. Whatever pipe you will put on the walls, you can also press the inside of the wall by cutting it later. So this is the safest and the best and most lasting wiring system.

How to Concealed Conduit Wiring


Concealed Conduit Wiring


Benefits of Conduit Wiring Systems

  • This is the safest wiring system. This wiring is inside the wall, so it makes the room look and feel better.
  • This does not affect the atmosphere on the stars. There is no risk of wires breaking.
  • Its repairing and maintenance is very easy.
  • This wiring system can be used anywhere, it will not affect any kind of chemical or environment.
  • If a metal pipe is used in this wiring system then there is no risk of any kind of electric shock if it is grounded properly.
  • This wiring system is long lasting.

Disadvantages of Conduit Wiring Systems

  • This wiring system is very expensive compared to other and if metal pipe is used in it, then it becomes even more expensive.
  • In this wiring system, there is a lot of difficulty in finding any fault in the wires.
  • If the meaning of the metal pipe is not correctly, then there is a risk of electric shock.

So it is a system of wiring under which electricity can be wired at home or anywhere. But only two of these wiring systems are used today. Out of which, most Conduit Wiring System is used and then Casing Capping Wiring System is used. Please comment below and tell which wiring system you use or want to do.
