Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.5.1.LI.11 - Apply the knowledge of house wiring in practical situations.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. Inspect a given house wiring installation and identify at least three defects or safety violations based on IEE regulations.
  2. Plan and carry out a complete wiring process on a model structure (e.g., a wooden board or training panel) in accordance with rules and regulations.
  3. Test a completed wiring circuit using a multimeter and a megger, and record the continuity and insulation resistance readings accurately.
  4. Evaluate different wiring methods (surface, conduit, trunking) for a given practical situation and justify the most appropriate choice.
  5. Prepare and present a brief oral or digital report of their wiring project, explaining the steps taken and the safety regulations observed.
