1. Cleat Wiring System Definition, Parts, Working, Advantages, Disadvantages, Applications SUBMITED AND PRESENTED BY : ABEL PEACE.O (2221531)

2. What is Cleat Wiring? Cleat wiring is one of the oldest and simplest types of electrical wiring. It consists of insulated wires supported on porcelain, wood, or plastic cleats fixed to walls or ceilings. Mostly used for temporary installations due to its exposed design and low durability.

3. Parts of Cleat Wiring Porcelain Cleats (Base & Cap) Electrical Wires (PVC insulated) Screws and Fixing Devices Insulating Bushings Supporting Structures (walls, ceilings)

4. Working Principle Fix cleats at equal intervals (0.4–0.6 m). Lay insulated conductors in cleat grooves. Secure wires with cleat caps using screws. Connect to supply, load, and switches. Test system before operation.

5. Advantages of Cleat Wiring Simple and quick installation Very low cost Easy to maintain and repair Flexible and reusable Good air circulation (prevents overheating) Safe insulation with porcelain cleats

6. Disadvantages of Cleat Wiring Only suitable for temporary use Wires exposed to mechanical damage Not suitable for damp/industrial areas Poor aesthetics (untidy appearance) Limited load capacity (not for heavy loads)

7. Applications of Cleat Wiring Temporary wiring at construction sites, fairs, exhibitions Rural and low-cost housing Workshops and agricultural farms Training setups in schools and colleges Testing laboratories for temporary setups

8. Conclusion Cleat wiring is a simple, low-cost, and reusable wiring system. It is suitable only for temporary installations due to low durability and exposure. Best for training, rural setups, and temporary power distribution.
