    DOMESTIC WIRING & SERVICE LINE INSTALLATION

    PRESENTATION BY
    SOWMYA G .J
    Assistant Professor
    Dept. of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
    R.R Institute of Technology
    CONTENTS

    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF
    ELECTRICAL ESTIMATION &
    COSTING

    DOMESTIC WIRING

    SERVICE LINE INSTALLATION


    GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ESTIMATING

     IMPORTANT TERMS USED IN ESTIMATING

     PURPOSE OF ESTIMATING & COSTING

     RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ESTIMATOR

     IMPORTANT STEPS TO BE CARRIED OUT IN ESTIMATING


    IMPORTANT TERMS USED IN ESTIMATING
     ELECTRIC SHEDULE: It is that list or plan of building which provides us
    the information regarding the no of points(ceiling outlets, single pole 3 way & 4
    way rotary switches, wall plugs & other special plugs) in each room of a
    building under estimation
     CATALOUGUES: Price lists giving the net price per each item or per ten or
    per 100 or per meter according to estimator requirements. Or pricelists
    consisting of net figures (printed price in standard catalogues less with
    discount allowable.
     CONTEGENCIES: The amount(5% of total cost) is provided under
    cognancies cover additional material cost, labour cost & other allied expenses
    which could not be accounted for. Such expenses may due to natural
    calamities such as floods, earthquakes, storms, hailstorms etc..
     OVERHEAD CHARGES: Overhead charges or standing charges of the
    business cover all expenditure necessary to carryout the business. It includes
    rent of offices/ workshops, wear and tear of buildings, plant and machinery-
    depreciation,taxes,advertising,insurance,postage,electricity & telephone bill,
    wages of staff, travelling expenses, legal expenses etc…
     Overhead charges =10 to 15% of net cost of each estimating.
     ESTIMATING: It is an art of assessment of quantities of different items &
    cost there of to plan the amount required for executing a work before actually
    carrying out the work

     PURPOSE OF ESTIMATING & COSTING:


     It becomes necessary to prepare a complete project estimate for the given
    work to be carried out as it will act as a guide in the successful completion of
    work without any interruption.
     The estimate project report provides us an accurate assessment of the
    amount of money required, availability of material etc
     The estimate project report includes complete details of the work to be carried
    out such as detailed drawings of the work, complete details of the required
    materials with costing and the sequence of operations to be performed.

    RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ESTIMATOR
     Estimation of quantity of the material required & the cost involved.
     Analysis of costs.
     Maintain ace of proper records related to the project estimation.
    IMPORTANT STEPS TO BE CARRIED OUT IN
    ESTIMATING

     MARKET SURVEY & SOURCE SELECTION

     PURCHASE OF REQUIRED MATERIALS-Purchase

     RECORDING OF ESTIMATES:
    DOMESTIC WIRING
     Typical domestic/house wiring circuit.
     Distribution board system.
     Factors effecting the choice of wiring method
     Loop in system of wiring method.
     Sub circuits: Lighting & Heating.
     Rules to be fallowed in domestic wiring installation.
     Determination of total load.
     Determination of no of sub circuits.
     Determination of Ratings of main switch & Distribution board.
     Determination of size of conductor.
     Preparation of domestic wiring estimate report for given house
    layout.
    TYPICAL DOMESTIC/HOUSE WIRING CIRCUIT.
    DISTRIBUTION BOARD SYSTEM.
    It is used to distribute the supply from the main circuit into various circuit
    & sub- circuits .
    FACTORS AFFECTING THE CHOICE OF WIRING:
    1. DURABILITY: Type of wiring selected should conform to
    standard specifications, so that it is durable i.e. without
    being affected by the weather conditions, fumes , etc.
    2. SAFETY: The wiring must provide safety against leakage ,
    shock and fire hazards for the operating personnel.
    3. APPEARANCE: Electrical wiring should give an aesthetic appeal
    to the interiors.
    4. COST: It should not be prohibitively expensive.
    5. ACCESSIBILTY: The switches and plug points provided should be
    easily accessible. There must be provision for
    further extension of the wiring system, if necessary.
    6. MAINTENANCE COST: The maintenance cost should be a minimum.
    7. MECHANICAL SAFETY: The wiring must be protected against any
    mechanical damage.
    LOOP IN SYSTEM OF WIRING METHOD
    LOOPING IN FROM 3 PLATE CEILING ROSE
    RULES TO BE FALLOWED IN DOMESTIC
    WIRING INSTLLATION
    STEPS IN ESTIMATION OF DOMESTIC
    WIRING INSTALLATION
     Determination of total load
     Following ratings may be assumed unless the values are known or
    specified
    1.Fluoresent lamps-choke type:50W.
    2.Incandescent lamps, fans &5 A sockets:60W.
    3.Power sockets-15A:1000W.
    Note:
    1. Max load on lighting sub circuit=800W.
    2. Max no of points per lighting sub circuit=10.
    3. Max load on heating/power sub circuit=3000W.
    4. Max no of points per heating/power sub circuit=2.
     Determination of no of sub-circuits
     The no of sub-circuits (lighting &power circuits) are decided as per no of
    points to be wired and total load to be connected to the supply systems
    Ex: when connected load=960W
    no of points=16
     Connected load >800W .Hence, consider two sub circuits comprising of 8
    points each with load 480W (per sub circuit).
     Determination of ratings of main switch & distribution board

    Main switch :Decided as per total current of the circuit to be controlled by it.
    Total current controlled by the wiring circuit: Total connected load/supply
    voltage(240V)
    Ex: When current rating=5.2A, select main switch: 240V grade,16A,DPIC switch
    with fuse unit.

    Distribution board:Decided as per no of sub circuits to be connected to it &


    current of sub circuit having highest current rating.
    Current rating of sub circuit=load on sub circuit/supply voltage.
    Ex:When ,
    No of sub circuits=2 & Max current rating on sub circuit=2.6A,
    Select distribution board:2-way, 240V, 16A/way MCB type ICDB.

    Determination of size of conductor:


     Following three points must be taken into account, while determining size of
    conductor for internal wiring of a given circuit.
    1.Minimum size mainly for mechanical reasons: 1/1.12 mm in copper &
    1/1.40mm in aluminium-sub circuits.
    >1 square mm in copper & > 1.5 square mm in aluminium-flexible cords & fitting
    wires.
    2.Voltage drop.
    3.Current carrying capacity.
    SELECTION OF CONDUCTORS BASED ON CURRENT RATING
     Preparation of single line diagram for domestic wiring plan to
    be installed

     Preparation of wirng plan :


     Represents connection of sub circuits with loads and concerned switch
    boards in house plan.
     Represents position of meter board & distribution board
    .

     Preparation of Circuit diagram:

    Represents complete looping in wiring connection of sub circuits along with


    Meter board & ICDB

     Calculation of length of conduit required

     Preparation of Estimate & costing report by reffering wiring


    plan & catalogues
    Note:Include contingencies =5% & overhead charges=15%
    TPIC connection to the meter board
    Floor wise subcircuits
    Examples :Estimation & costing of single
    phase domestic wiring installation
    Estimation & Costing of Hall wiring
    Wiring plan layout
    Single line diagram
    SERVICE MAINS

     The overhead line or cable connecting the suppliers distributing


    line the consumer premises is called service main or service line
    or service connection
