Choosing appropriate wiring system
An electrical installation made many different electrical circuits,
lighting circuits, power circuits, single-phase domestic circuits and three-
phase industrial commercial circuits.
Part the IEE Regulations tells that electrical equipment and mater-
ials must chosen that they are suitable for the installed condi-
tions, taking into account temperature, the presence water, corrosion,
mechanical damage, vibration exposure solar radiation.5:

current)
● source circuit protection. These carry voltage and current to
power the load
● means control the circuit.
MI cables are waterproof, heatproof and corrosion resistant with some
mechanical protection. might electric lamp, electrical appliance, elec-

PVC insulated and sheathed cables are suitable for domestic installations
but for cable requiring mechanical protection and suitable for burying
underground, PVC/SWA cable would preferable.
