f) Flexible wire:
In this type of wire instead of using thick conductor many thin copper conductors of 36 gauges are
used. This is called stranding. These wires are available in the size of 14/36, 23/36, 40/36 etc. These
strands are twisted and PVC insulation is provided over it.

Such two wires of different colors of insulation are twisted together and coil is prepared. As the
flexible wire is used instead of thick wire, the wire can be bent in any direction. This type of wire is
used in giving connections to table lamp, fan, tube light etc.
2. Switch
The simplest type of switch is one where two electrical conductors are brought in contact with each
other by the motion of an actuating mechanism. That only describes the simplest version of a switch
though. More often than not, a switch has more than two pins.
The number of poles on a switch defines how many separate circuits the switch can control. So a
switch with one pole, can only influence one single circuit. A four-pole switch can separately control
four different circuits. A switchs throw-count defines how many positions each of the switchs poles
can be connected to. For example, if a switch has two throws, each circuit (pole) in the switch can be
connected to one of two terminals. Knowing how many poles and throws a switch has, it can be more
specifically classified. Commonly youll see switches defined as single-pole, single-throw,
single-pole, double-throw, double-pole, double-throw, which are more often abbreviated down to
SPST, SPDT, and DPDT, respectively.

4. Ceiling Rose
It is an end point of an electrical wire, which provides a cover to the wire end. These are used to
provide a tapping to the lamp holder through the flexible wire or a connection to a fluorescent tube or a
ceiling fan. It consists of a circular base and a cover made of bakelite. One end of the plates is
connected to supply and the other end to a flexible wire connected to appliances.
5. Lamp Holder
lamp holder provide electrical connections to the lamp and support it in the lighting fixture. The use of
sockets allows lamps to be safely and conveniently replaced (re-lamping) at the end of life, or to
change power, color, lighting technology or etc. There are many different standards for these lamp
holders.

6. incandescent bulb
An incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is an electric light which
produces light with a wire filament heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through
it, until it glows. The hot filament is protected from oxidation with a glass or quartz bulb that is filled
with inert gas or evacuated. The light bulb is supplied with electric current by feed-through terminals
or wires embedded in the glass. Most bulbs are used in a socket which provides mechanical support
and electrical connections.
7. Fuse
A fuse is a part of the circuit which consists of conductor which melts easily and breaks the connection
when current exceeds the predetermined value. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that
melts when too much current flows through it, interrupting the circuit that it connects. Short circuits,
overloading, mismatched loads, or device failure are the prime reasons for excessive current. Fuses are
an alternative to circuit breakers.

b) Cartridge Fuse
In cartridge fuse the fuse wire is enclosed in a transparent glass tube or bulb, the whole unit is sealed
off. In case the fuse blows, it is to be replaced by new one as the cartridge fuse can not be rewired due
to its sealing.
