Installation
Instructions
:
Install NMSC from the breaker panel to the required outlet boxes.
Be sure to install according to the CEC rules. (i.e., points of support, correct length of wire in box).
Connect switch to control a lamp,
Connect a receptacle.
Connect to panel with correct size breaker.
Have instructor review finished connections.
Instructor will then “Power On” completed circuit to allow for circuit testing.
Answer all questions for this lab listed below.

Questions
: State the CEC rule number if the code book is used.
1.
Would the circuit still work if you used the white wire for power and black for neutral?
The answer is no. It will create a short circuit. If, however, you mean that you don’t have enough wire to run your
neutral, so you add some black wires and mark them with white paint or tape, then, yes, it’s safe.
2.
List another name for the identified conductor?
In either case, the identified conductor is the grounded circuit conductor or a neutral.
3.
Why are the terminals of the lamp holder colour coded?
The terminals of the lamp holder are colour coded because it helps you match each wire to the correct terminals.
4.
What are the distances NMSC cable need to be supported (stapled) when run between boxes
according to the CEC? Show the Code Rule.
The distances NMSC cable need to be supported when run between boxes according to CEC is 32 mm.
5.
Which conductors (hot, ground or neutral) are always connected to the light switches?
Hot wires are always connected to light switches because hot wires are phase wires which carries the current.

Most residential general lighting circuits are wired with 14-AWG copper conductors and are protected by 15-amp circuit breakers. However, there are many electricians who install 12-AWG copper conductors and protect them with 20-amp circuit breakers. How will you know which conductor size and which circuit breaker size will be used for the general lighting branch circuits in the house you are wiring?
