 CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Industrial Training (IT) refers to a program which aims to provide supervised practical
training within a specified time frame. This training can be carried out either in government
organizations or private sector.

Industrial Training (IT) is a program designed to enable science and technology student of
tertiary institution to acquire knowledge related to their course of study which is done within
short period of time.

1.1 Brief History of SIWES

The five capitalized letters SIWES means the “Students Industrial Work Experience
Scheme”. SIWES was established by the Institution Training Fund (ITF) in the year 1973 to
solve the problem of lack of adequate proper practical skills for employment of tertiary
institution graduates by Nigerian industries. It was founded to be a skill training program to
help expose and prepare students of universities, polytechnics and colleges of education for
the industrial work situation to be met after graduation. It is a kind of industrial skill training
program introduced It is an effort to bridge the gap existing between theory and practical as it
teaches students of tertiary institution the industrial based skills necessary for smooth
transition from the classroom to the world of work. SIWES renders students of tertiary
institutions the chance of being familiarized and exposed to the needed experience in
handling machineries and equipment which are usually not available in the educational
institutions. Taking part in SIWES has become a compulsory pre-condition for the award of
diploma and degree certificates as it forms part of the minimum academic requirement in
various degree program for all the Nigerian universities which is in accordance with the
education policy of government operators, the ITF, the coordinating agencies, employers of
labor and the institution.
The scheme is a tripartite program, involving the student, the university, and the industry
(employer of labor). It is funded by the Federal Government of Nigeria and jointly
coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the National University Commission
(NUC).

1.2 Aim and Objectives of SIWES

The Industrial Training Fund’s Policy Document No. 1 of 1973 which established SIWES,
outlined the objectives of the scheme. Specifically, the aims/objectives of the SIWES are:

Page |1
i. to provide an avenue for students in the Nigerian Universities to acquire industries
skills and experience in their course of study;
ii. to prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation;
iii. to expose students to the work methods and techniques in handling equipment and
machinery that may not be available in the universities;
iv. to make the transition from the university to the world of work easier, and thus
enhance students’ contacts for later job placements and a chance to evaluate
companies for which they might wish to work;
v. to provide students with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real
work situation, thereby bridging the gap between university work and actual practice;

vi. to teach students how to interact effectively with other workers and supervisors under
various conditions in the organization;
1.3 Motivation for selection of SIWES place
The motivation for my place of SIWES started with my choice of having interest to learn
electrical work, it has been my wish to learn how to do electrical work. Ever since I was a

ACTIVITIES ENGAGED IN DURING THE SIWES
2.0 Introduction
This chapter describes the activities engaged in and carried out during my SIWES exercise,
and describes the relevance of these activities to Bachelor Degree Physics as a course of
study. There were 3 major activities I undertake as follow

Electrical wiring is the connection of cables / wires, circuit breakers or fuses and other
electrical accessories to create a lighting network, power system, (Bērziņa, 2019).

1. Surface Wiring
2. Half Conduit Wiring
3. Full Conduit Wiring
2.1 Surface Wiring
Surface wiring refers to electrical wiring system that are mounted directly into the surface of
the walls and ceiling.

Wiring ways protect and conceal the wires. Surface wiring is ideal when you want to add new
electrical fixture but want to avoid cutting into the walls or drilling on fishing wires.

I learnt about surface wiring it is easy and very important to learn, my experience was what to
live and remember forever.

2.1.1 Material Required For Surface Wiring

i. Channel system
ii. Cover plate
iii. Electrical wire
iv. Hallow wall anchor
v. Receptacles
vi. Wire connector
vii. Switches
viii. Junction box
ix. Pipes

Page |4
Channel System

Channel System is a set of intermediaries and their infrastructures linking wires all through
the surface wiring.

Cover plate

Cover plate is a cover, hood or head used to close in or over the end or top of a receptacle
chamber, or section of a structure.

Electrical wire

Electrical wire is an electrical installation of cable and associated devices and light fitting in a
structure. Electrical symbols for wiring. Wiring is subject to safety standard for design and
installation.

Hallow wall anchor

Hallow wall anchors are expansion cavity fixing for use in plaster board materials and thin
sheet. The champing action provide a very strong anchor point spreading the fixture. Load by
deforming to an umbrella shape. Behind the board and preventing pull through when
tightened.

How to use hallow wall anchor.

These Are Very Popular Cavity types fixing for plaster boards, dry well and general board
material you install the hallow wall anchor by placing the hallow wall anchor body and screw
into the plaster wall body then pull the bolt through the fixing to spread the four prongs. In
the cavity, you can then remove the bolt, now you have a thread anchored into your plaster
board wall.

i. Mark where you want your anchor board to be

ii. Drill pilot hole to place the anchor into.
The point hole depends on the size of the hallow wall anchors you are using and will
be specify by the manufacturer usually on the packaging
iii. Place the entire anchor into the pilot hole
Make sure you push the anchor firmly into the wall
The teeth on the underside of the head must lock into the sheet
iv. Get your hallow wall anchor installation tool and the hallow wall anchor hold head
and washer into the tool like so
v. Start to squeeze the trigger on the hallow anchor tool.

Page |5
 As you squeeze you will pull the bolt head and thread through the anchor and
essentially

Compress the back of the anchor. As this happen the four expansion forks will flares
out at the back of the board. Keep in mind to keep the hallow wall anchor tool and hallow
wall anchor pressed firmly against the sheet

Receptacle
Electrical Receptacles are a types of AC power outlet. An electrical receptacle is an opening
or series of opening connected to a wired power source make to power electrical equipment
and component in a building by connecting them to the primary alternating current (AC) and
power supply

Wire Connector
A device used in joining two or more electrical wires together example usage we need a wire
connector to join two wire together. Most used in; construction, electrical, and engineering

Fig: 2.1.1.1 Wire Connector

Switch Control
Switches are design to interrupt or control the flow of electrical current, essentially
manipulating the movement of electrons. Through a circuit. The concept behind a switch is

Page |6
rooted in the basic principles of electricity and the used of conductive material to facilitate

cur.

v. Conduit clip
vi. Screw adapter to corrugated conduct
vii. Straight tee for installation
viii. Distribution board

Coupling:- In electrons electric power and telecommunication coupling is the transfer of

electrical energy from one circuit to another, or between parts of a circuit, coupling can be
deliberate as part of the function of the circuit, or it may be undesirable for instance due to
coupling to stray field.

Adaptable Box: Is used mainly for containing wiring junction as well as various other uses
including keeping electrical connection of sight to deter tampering. These boxes are
incredibly useful for installation where you need to adapt the junction box suit your cable
requirements.

 Fig: 2.3.1.1 Adaptable Box

Elbow: A elbow is used to connect and protect electrical wires and is typically used when
extending or modifying an exist electrical pipe fittings. It contains 25 pieces of elbow in a
packing. It is back color elbow. It is 90 degree bended elbow.

Sweep Bend: A sweep bend is a 90 or other degree bend with a large radius i.e it does not
abruptly turn the corner. It has two holes in it, one at either end to join onto other pipes or
conduit. Electrical sweep bend.

Fig: 2.3.1.2 Sweep Bend

A Conduit Clip: This conduit clip is used to secure conduct to a wall. It requires single
screws in the center of the fittings.

Screw Adaptor or Corrugated Conduct: An adaptor or adaptor is a device that converts

attributes of one electrical device or system to those of otherwise incompatible device or
system. Some modify power or signal attribute while others merely adapt the physical form
of one connector to another.

Straight Tee for Installation: Is a common type of tee fitting in which all branch pipes have
the same diameter. It is often used where there is a need to divert fluid into two equal pipes
such as a T-split.

Distribution Board: A distribution board is a component of an electricity supply system that

divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or
circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure

CHAPTHER THREE

SPECIAL PROJECTS/EXPERIMENTS CARRIED OUT DURING THE SIWES

3.0 Introduction

Special project/experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or

determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried.

Experiment provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs

when a particular factor is manipulated.

3.1 Title of Projects/Experiments

3.1.1 Conduit Wiring

Conduit wiring system consist of either VIR or PVC cable taken through tubes or pipes and
terminated at the outlets or switches/sockets. The tube or pipe is known as conduit. Conduit
wiring may run over the surface of the walls and ceiling or may be concealed under masonary
work. A natural or artificial channel through which something (such as a fluid) is conveyed.
Modern Wiring Practice" by W.E. Steward and R.A. Bec - Edition: 13th or latest

3.1.1.1 Objectives of the Project/Experiment

Conduits wiring is perfect for reducing the risk of electrical and environmental hazards
because they shield cables from physical damage, chemical interaction, moisture, and any
other thing that stand to compromise the integrity of the wiring system. Conduit wiring is

P a g e | 12
suitable for various settings, including residential, commercial, outdoor, health facilities and
every other place where the need for safety and durability is a top priority.

viii.

3.1.1.3 Tools required for conduit wiring

i. Bending string
ii. Chiseler
iii. Hammer
iv. Plier
v. Fishing Tape
vi. Ladder
vii. Saw Blade

3.1.1.4 Procedures

1. The procedures follow in designing this site as outlined in the figures above is as
follows: Before the first cable is run into a new home, the electrical installation
will be fully planned out and vetted by the General Contractor, the State, the country
and the city. The first phase is a phase of planning and designing the installation
according to the blueprints provided by the GC, and other details provided by the
homeowners. Electrical Wiring Residential" by Ray C. Mullin and Phil Simmons

P a g e | 13
 i. Calculating the Load: Load calculation is like checking if your home’s electrical
“backpack” can safely carry all your gadgets and lights. We’ll account for current
and future electrical needs.
ii. Designing the Circuits: We’ll determine circuit loads, design circuit paths, and
ensure safety and efficiency.

iii. Selecting materials & supplies: based on the load calculation and circuit design,
we select the appropriate wire type (e.g., copper or aluminum) and size (gauge)
for each circuit. We choose the circuit breakers that math the load of each circuit
and provide the necessary protection. We decide on the type (e.g., standard, GFCI,
dimmer) and style of outlets and switches for each room.
iv. Safety Considerations: We pinpoint areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor
spaces where there’s a higher risk of water contact. In bedrooms and other living
spaces, we plan for the installation of Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters to prevent
electrical fires.
2. Residential electrical installation: Rough-In phase
Each of these steps in the rough-in phase ensures that the foundational elements of the
electrical system are correctly and safely put in place, ready for device installation and
connections.
i. Conduit Installation: Based on the circuit design, we determine the best paths for conduits
inside walls, ceilings, and floors. We then decide on the type of conduit (e.g., PVC, metal)
suitable for the environment and local codes. We drill the holes, attach conduit to framing,
and ensure it runs seamlessly from the main panel to each electrical box.
ii. Box Installation: We choose the appropriate box types (e.g., single-gang, double-gang)
based on the number of devices they house. We attach electrical boxes to studs, joists, or
masonry using appropriate fasteners, ensuring they’re flush with the finished wall or ceiling
surface.
iii. Wire Pulling: We run wires through the conduits, starting from the main panel and
extending to each electrical box. We clearly label wires at both ends to identify their purpose
(e.g., “kitchen lights” or “living room outlet”). We ensure there is extra wire length at each
box for trimming and connections later.

3. Electrical Installation: Inspection

P a g e | 14
Before proceeding to the next phase, a preliminary inspection is usually required. An
electrical inspector checks the wiring, ensuring it’s up to code, properly secured, and that the
right type and size of wire are used for each circuit.
4. Device installation
At this point, we will install all outlets and fixtures.
i. Outlets and switches: We trim the wires to the appropriate length and connect them to
outlets and switches.
ii. Light fixtures: We install the ceiling and wall light fixtures, and connect them to the
wiring.
iii. Circuit breakers: We install the circuit breakers in the main panel and connect the
circuits to them.
6. Main Panel Connection
The next step is to connect the main panel. This phase ensures that the home electrical system
is safely connected to the grid, ready to distribute power throughout the residence.
i. Service Entry: We work with the utility company to identify the best location for the
electrical service to enter the home. We set up a conduit from the entry point to the main
panel, ensuring it meets local code requirements for depth and protection. We run the
main service wires (two hot wires and one neutral) through the conduit into the main
panel.
ii. Meter Installation: We pick a location that is easily accessible for meter reading and
maintenance, outside the home. We secure the meter base (the box that houses the meter)
to the exterior wall, ensuring it is level and at the correct height. The utility company will
typically install the actual meter once everything is set up.
iii. Main Breaker: We secure the main breaker within the main panel. It must be positioned
in such a way it is easy for the homeowners to cut off power to the entire house. We
connect the grounding wire from the main breaker to the home grounding system to
ensure safety.
7. Residential Electrical Installation: Testing & verification phase
Each of the steps of the Testing & Verification Phase helps to ensure that the electrical
installation is safe, efficient, and ready for use. These tests are designed to catch and correct
any issues before the system is energized, reducing the risk of electrical fires, shocks, or
equipment damage.
I. Continuity Check: We use a continuity tester or multimeter to ensure that electrical
current can flow through each wire and circuit without interruption. If we detect a break in
continuity, we identify the location of the issue and repair the wire or connection as needed.

P a g e | 15
ii. Check: We use a polarity tester to ensure that all outlets and connections are wired
correctly, with hot and neutral wires in their proper places. If we detect an incorrect polarity,
we rewire the connections to ensure proper orientation.
iii. Voltage Test: Using a multimeter we measure the voltage at various points in the
system, to ensure it falls within the expected range. If voltage levels are found to be outside
the acceptable range, adjustments may need to be made at the main panel or at individual
circuit breakers.
iv. Grounding Test: We ensure all components are securely connected and free of
corrosion. If we find the grounding system is inadequate, we may install additional grounding
rods, or clean and tighten existing connections.
The final steps of the electrical installation ensure it is not only complete and functional, but
also documented and understood by the homeowner using proper documentation adjoined to
a successful final safety inspection.

8. Residential electrical installation: Final Inspection

Requesting the inspection: Once we complete the electrical installation, we request a final
inspection from the San Antonio building department.
i. Walkthrough with the inspector: The electrical inspector conducts a thorough
examination of the entire electrical system, checking for code compliance, safety,
and proper installation.
ii. Addressing any issues: If the inspector identifies any issues, they must be
addressed and corrected before the system can be approved.

9. Commissioning
i. Powering up: We energize the main panel by turning on the main breaker to
supply power to the entire home.
ii. Testing devices & fixtures: We turn on and test all electrical devices, fixtures,
and appliances to ensure they operate correctly.
iii. Checking for issues: We monitor for any unusual sounds, smells, or behaviors
that might indicate a problem.

10. Documentation of the residential electrical installation

i. Compiling Installation Details: We gather all details, blueprints, schematics, and
reports related to the electrical installation.

P a g e | 16
ii. Creating a user manual: We develop a homeowner-friendly guide that explains
the home’s electrical system, including the location of the main panel, circuit
breakers and key devices.
iii. Providing maintenance recommendations: Offer guidelines on routine
maintenance, safety precautions, and potential upgrade suggestions.
