    Default switchboard drawing

    I am completing the fourth year of my electrical apprenticeship. I have been called up to do the capstone test in four weeks. I am after a drawing of a domestic switchboard layout. Can anyone help me out?

    I work in the manufacturing industry and dont have a whole lot of experience in the domestic side of things, eg. wiring of m and j tarriff meters.
    thanks

    Get hold of a copy of AS/NZS 3018:2001 - Electrical installations-Domestic installations.

    A wiring diagram will vary depending on the number of circuits whether it has single phase three phase off peak etc. Don't they give you any requirements.

    As/NZ 3000 Section 5 has diagrams.
    In Vic we have Service and installation rules (SIRs) I assume you would have similar in your state All you need is in them.

    Actually our SIRs are available to download if you goggle them I'm sure you will find them

    thanks for replies, i assume the house will have 2 light, 2 power, hws, ac, stove. Light and power must be rcd protected of course. I need to show m and j tarriff meters. do i need to show a protected and unprotected earth and neutral bars? does the rcd have to be wired before the circuit breakers or after?
    Thanks for all the help.

    I need to only have one c/b for the four circuits. I am not real familiar with this, as all we install at work are Rcd/mcb combos.
