Point Wiring:
Point wiring shall include all work necessary to complete wiring from switch circuit
of any length from the tapping point on the distribution circuit switch board to the
following.
- Ceiling rose for fans, Lighting etc.
- Socket outlet (in the case of socket outlet points).
- Lamp holder (in the case of wall brackets, batten points, bulk head and
similar fittings).
- Call bell buzzer (in the case of the works “via the ceiling rose/socket outlet
or bell push where no ceiling rose/socket outlet is provided”).
Circuit Wiring:
Circuit wiring shall mean the length of wiring from the distribution board upto the
tapping point of the nearest first points of that circuit, viz., upto the nearest first
switch board measured along the run of wiring. Such wiring shall be measured on
linear basis.
System of Wiring:
The wiring shall be carried out on such a system as may be specified in the tender
schedule or otherwise specified in the special specification (“Power” and “Heating”
wiring shall be kept separate and distinct from “Lighting” and “Fan” wiring).
Recessed conduit wiring shall be done on distribution system main and branch
distribution boards at convenient physical and electrical centers and without fuses at
isolated places. All conductors shall run, as far as possible, along the walls and
ceiling so as to be easily accessible and capable of being thoroughly inspected. In
no case, the open wiring shall be run above the false ceiling without the approval of
Engineer-in-Charge. In all type of wiring due consideration shall be given for
neatness, good appearance and safety.
Balancing of circuits:
The balancing of circuits in three phase installations shall be arranged before hand
to the satisfaction of Engineer.
