GO-DOWN WIRING
Ex. No. : ________ Date : ____________

Aim
To understand the wiring of go-down / tunnel wiring circuit.

Materials Required

S. No. Name of the apparatus Range / Type Quantity


1 Incandescent Lamp 230 V, 25 W 3 Nos.
2 Lamp holder 230 V, Level 3 Nos.
3 Switch Box 4” x 4” 4 Nos.

6 P. V. C. casing capping ¼” As required
7 Wooden Board 4’ x 3.5‘ 1 No.
8 Wires 1 sq. mm” As required

Tools Required

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.

Procedure

1. Collect the materials required for this experiment.


2. Draw the layout of the given circuit diagram in the circuit board.
3. Fix the necessary materials, by using drilling machine in the layout board.
4. Terminal 2 of the bulb L1 is connected to neutral point (N) and another terminal 1 is
connected to terminal 1 of switch S2.
5. Terminal 1 of the switch S1 is connected to the phase line (P).
6. Now, the terminal 2 of switch S1 is connected with terminal 2 of switch S2.
7. The terminal 3 of switch S2 is connected with terminal 2 of switch S3.
8. And terminal 3 of Switch S3 is connected with terminal 2 of switch S4.
9. After that, the terminal 3 of switch S4 is connected with terminal 1 of Bulb L4.

Precautions

1. Energize the circuit with the presence of Lab instructor / Faculty.


2. No part of a live circuit should be touched by the bare hand.
3. Keep the body, or any part of it, out of the circuit.

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.)
