Application: Thisis used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress. Diagram Step 1 Type 3: Plaintap joint. Application: Thisis used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit.
Diagram Step1 Type4: Duplex cross joint. Application: Thisis a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used where the two tap wire isunder heavy tensile stress Diagram Step 1 Type 5: WesternUnion Short-tie Splice. Application: This is the mostwidely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the lengthof wire from one point to another. Diagram Step1 Type6: Cross joint.
Application: Thesame application is done as in plain tap and the only difference is that thistap is a combination of two plain taps place side by side with each other. Diagram Step1: WORKSHOP PRACTICE 02; WIRING TECHNIQUESAim: At the end of the exercise, students should beable to: 1. Install a Single light point controlled by a one-way switch 2.
Install Two light points controlled by a one-way switch 3. Install Two light points controlled separately by two one-wayswitches4. Install a ring circuit5. Install an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker(ELCB.) 1. Materials/Items 1.
