This diagram shows how to wire a single room with an inverter backup system. The setup ensures that essential appliances like a fan and bulb continue working during power outages.
The MCB provides circuit protection, while the inverter automatically switches to battery power when the main supply fails. The wiring connects the phase, neutral, and earthing lines through switches and sockets to distribute power safely.

Key Components:
- MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker): Protects the circuit from overloads or short circuits.
- Switch & Socket Board: Controls and distributes power to the fan, bulb, and other loads.
- Inverter: Converts DC power from the battery to AC for household use.
- Battery: Stores energy for backup.
