Different Types of Wiring Systems and Methods of Electrical Wiring
it is not lasting wire system because of the weather effect , risk of fire and wear &
tear.
it can be only used on 250/440 Volts on low temperature.
There is always a risk of fire and electric shock.
it can’t be used in important and sensitive location and places.
It is not lasting, reliable and sustainable wiring system.
2. Casing and Capping wiring
Casing and Capping wiring system was famous wiring system in the
past but, it is considered obsolete this days because of Conduit and
sheathed wiring system. The cables used in this kind of wiring were
either VIR or PVC or any other approved insulated cables.
The cables were carried through the wooden casing enclosures.
The casing is made up of a strip of wood with parallel grooves cut
length wise so as to accommodate VIR cables. The grooves were
made to separate opposite polarity. the capping (also made of
wood) used to cover the wires and cables installed and fitted in the
casing.
Advantages of Casing Capping Wiring:
It is cheap wiring system as compared to sheathed and conduit wiring
systems.
It is strong and long-lasting wiring system.
Customization can be easily done in this wiring system.
If Phase and Neutral wire is installed in separate slots, then repairing
is easy.
Stay for long time in the field due to strong insulation of capping and
casing..
It stays safe from oil, Steam, smoke and rain.
No risk of electric shock due to covered wires and cables in casing &
capping.
Disadvantages Casing Capping Wiring:
There is a high risk of fire in casing & capping wiring system.
Not suitable in the acidic, alkalies and humidity conditions
Costly repairing and need more material.
Material can’t be found easily in the contemporary
White ants may damage the casing & capping of wood.
3. Batten Wiring (CTS or TRS)
