Domestic Electric Circuits
Domestic Electric Circuits
We receive power in our house through a main supply, commonly called mains. We receive AC voltage 220V and frequency 50 Hertz. We have three wires for our domestic circuits. These wires (live and neutral) pass into an electricity meter (connected in homes) through a main fuse. They are connected to the live wires in the home through a main switch. Usually, there are two separate circuits in a house,
. 15A Circuit which have higher power ratings.(geysers, refrigerators,ACs)
. 5A Circuit, which have lower power rating.(TV, bulbs, fans)
Each distribution circuit is provided with a separate fuse, so that, if a fault like short circuiting occurs in one circuit, its corresponding fuse blows off but the other circuit remains unaffected. Various distribution circuits are connected in parallel. All the electrical appliances like bulbs, fans and sockets, etc. are connected in parallel across the live wire and neutral wire.
Domestic Wiring:
The wiring inside a house is done according to the needs of its different areas. The electric wires entering the house go through a meter board. Here the live wire goes through a main fuse (or circuit breaker) and a meter that records the electric power consumed. Electricity bills are paid based on the readings of this meter. Removing the main fuse from its socket cuts the supply to the whole house. The main fuse blows when the sum of currents being drawn by the different circuits in the house exceeds a limit.

After the meter, you generally have a distribution box. Here the live wire is connected to a number of wires for distribution of the supply to different sections of the house. Each of these wires thus becomes live. A fuse is connected to each of them. The live wires go to different sections of the house. This distribution method has an advantage. If there is an electrical fault in one section of the house, only the fuse connected to its live wire blows. The supply to the rest of the house remains unaffected.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
