Procedure:

1. Draw the wiring layout on the work board using chalk.


2. Cut the PVC conduit as per the given measurements.
3. Fix the PVC conduits with junction box on the work board using saddles
and screws.
4. Pull/lay the wires through the conduit (as per the ckt diagram) and cut the
wires by leaving enough length from the ends of the conduits for end
connections.
5. Fix the Round block, Ceiling rose, Switch box, Fuse unit box and Neutral
link at the specified points.
6. Remove insulation (10mm approx.) at each wire ends for terminal
connections.
7. Connect the wire ends to Switches, 3 Pin Socket, Ceiling rose, Fuse unit,
Neutral Link etc. as per the ckt diagram (do not over tight the screws)
8. Fix ceiling rose on round block and Switches & Socket on switch box.
9. Fix Florescent lamp frame set on the work board and connect to ceiling
rose using flexible wire.
10. Insert Fluorescent lamp in socket on frame
11. Verify the connections and connect the circuit to supply mains.
12. Turn-On the input supply and satisfy the given conditions.

* Once the conditions are satisfied, Turn-Off the Main supply, remove the lamp from the
holder and finally disassemble the whole circuit from work board.

Result:

The circuit for one Fluorescent Lamp and one Light Socket is designed,
estimated and wired up as per given layout by using PVC conduit system of
wiring and tested okay.
