What Is The Purpose Of Commonly Used Electrical Installation Materials?

• Junction or Switch Boxes – Serve as housings for wire connections in order to split off power from a single source to multiple
• Fuses – A fuse is a circuit protection device that automatically blows and cuts the current when a short circuit
• Circuit Breaker – A circuit breaker is also a protective device that will protect the appliances from over-voltages.
• Adhesive Tape – Conductive and insulating tape is a very useful aid when installing electrics. They help create organisation & neatness when it comes to wiring i.e. any tangling messes will be avoided.
• Mains Plugs – Mains plugs are convenient connectors of the power supply to electrical devices and appliances. The male plug of the appliance connects to these
• Electrical Wiring – Wires are the conductors used for the transfer of electricity and are therefore, arguably, the main staple of electrical installations. Standard electric wires are madeup of multiple strands joined together whilst solid wires are made up of a single strand comprised of copper or aluminium.
• Conduits – Materials used for the safe passage of Conduits provide both protection and insulation of wiring.
• Clamps & Connectors – Clamps are used to hold and anchor conduits to their position whilst connectors are used to attach the conduit to the junction
