This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Electricity.

In this Badge Bit, you will wire a large structure with six or more circuits.  The breaker panel can be installed independently of this BB.  Perhaps your house or factory needs some power?  

Here's a good video of some things to consider:


You need to get to at least 40 points to get this BB
 - ½ point per outlet, light fixture or switch
 - ½ extra point per GFCI or AFCI device
 - ½ extra point for all exterior outlets and exposed lights
 - 1 point per 100 feet of wire ran
 - double all points wired through an existing finished wall

Minimum additional requirements:
 - at least 16 outlets inside
 - full lights (one light per 100 ft/sq)
 - at least two outlets outside
 - at least one 220 outlet

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
  - the structure before wiring
  - the project at several points during construction
  - the finished installation showing all the parts and pieces you want credit for
 
The fastest and most reliable components of any system are those that are not there. Tiny ad:
