THEORY
Electricity supplied to us for domestic purposes is 220 V A.C. and 50 Hz. The household
\t all appliances are connected in “parallel” with mains. ‘The switches are connected in
“(2 with each appliances in live wire. 5 A switches are required for normal applianees like,
“ts, fluorescent tubes fans ete. 15 A sockets and switches are required for heavy load appliances

PROCEDURE
Connect the buibs B,, B, and B, in series with switches S,, S, and S, respectively an
connect each set of B-S in parallel with each other (Fig. 11.04).
Connect main supply to a step-down transformer (battery eliminator) to get require
voltage from 0 to 10 V (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 V).
Connect the mains fuse M.S. in series with the power supply (battery eliminator),
Connect an A.C. ammeter in series with the B-S set.
e
-
Connect one end of power supply to one end of B-S set.
Check the circuit one again to ensure that household circuit is complete.
Gradually increase the current to 0.75 A, the fuse must burn off at about 0.6 A.
