Godown Wiring Circuit

The document describes the wiring circuit for a typical warehouse with three lights and three switches. A one-way switch controls each light individually, so when one switch is turned on it overrides the other switches, turning on its light while turning off the others. A table shows the status of each light depending on which switches are on or off. Safety precautions and procedures for connecting the circuit are provided, along with sample viva questions.

DESCRIPTION:

The godown wiring method is popular for warehouses where there


is one entrance and the lighting should be on only in the occupied area.
Although this is a method of switch wiring that works quite well it does have
one drawback because the lighting will work for only one occupant in one
area.

If an additional person enters the warehouse and turns on the


switch near them then it will turn off the light where the first person is located.
The traditional godown wiring method is explained here starting with the
layout of a warehouse application. For simplicity, the warehouse has three
lights and three switches with equal spacing in between. This design could be
adjusted and adapted to any size warehouse and adjustments to the size of
the circuit will need to be adjusted for the total load, or watts of the actual
lighting that will be used and the size of the wire will need to be adjusted for
voltage drop in a large warehouse or building.

PRECAUTIONS (IF ANY):

1. Supply must be switched off while connecting the circuit.


2. Do not stand on wet floor.
3. Ensure hands are dry.
4. Keep the breakers and fuse in open condition.

PROCEDURE:

1. Take pipes and joints of sufficient quantity and dimensions.


2. Connect the pipes and other fixtures as in pipe layout diagram.
3. After observing the precautions, start connecting the circuit as per the
circuit diagram.
4. Ensure the connections are correct and firm.
5. Energize the circuit with single phase ac supply.
6. Close the switches and verify the working of all lights and fixtures.
