GO-DOWN WIRING
Ex. No. : ________ Date : ____________
Aim
To understand the wiring of go-down / tunnel wiring circuit.
Materials Required
Tools Required
Screw driver, Wire stripper, Hacksaw, combination plier, drilling machine, electrician knife
Theory
Godown wiring uses to operate lamps/loads in a sequential manner, where only one load operates at a time. As
its name implies "Godown wiring", it is used in godowns, tunnel like structures, long passages, etc. due to the
advantage of the circuit, where light is only required for passage or it requires only at one position at a time.

4. Keep the work area and workbench clear of items not used in the experiment.
5. When disassembling a circuit, first remove the source of power.
Fuse Rating Calculations
Power drawn by the circuit = 60 watts
Voltage of the circuit = 230 volts
P = V I COS Ø
P = V x I x 1 (Assuming COS Ø = 1 for resistive load)
Current in the circuit (I) = power (P) / Voltage (V)
= 60 W / 230 V = 0.260 AMP.
Fuse rating of the circuit= rounding off the current to the nearest 5 =
5A (Normally fuses are available in the ratings of 5A, 10A and etc.)
