Electrical power is provided to the building by the Government. Electricity is distributed in small towns and villages by overhead wires. But in large cities and towns the distribution is done through underground cables. The supply of electricity is including the cables up to the electric metre. In order to isolate the main supply from the building, a system of fuses is installed between the supply inlet and the electric metre board. From the fuses, the wires are led to the metre and from there to the consumer unit. From this point the electricity is distributed to the various parts of the building. It is the responsibility of the owner of the building to provide wiring and other fixtures from the metre to the distribution board and other parts of the building (Varghese, 2012).
