PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS (CONTD..)

shall associate themselves during the civil work so as to finalize the firm locations of switch
boards, DBs, etc in consultation with departmental staff while executing the civil work.
20.5.1.9. All conductors used in point wiring/ sub-main wiring shall be FR-LSH (Flame retardant low smoke
and halogen) Copper conductor conforming to IS 694-2013 and shall have ISI mark. Insulated
wire used in point wiring will have colour code matching with phase i.e. wire starting from 'R'
phase will have red colour and similarly with 'Y & B' phase will have yellow and blue respectively.
In neutral, only black colour wire will be used. No joints in PVC sheathed Copper conductor for
phase and neutral or in earth wire is permitted. All stranded wires will be crimped with suitable
Copper lug before they are connected to MCB. Green colour wire shall be used in earth wire along
with other wires.
20.5.1.10. The cable and the flexible cords shall be stranded Copper conductor. Same colour code suggested
in above said para shall be followed.
20.5.1.11. The surface wiring for points outside the building shall run on internal face of wall as far as
practicable. Only at terminal points it shall be taken out by puncturing the wall and connect with
light fitting/switches.
20.5.1.12. The maximum number of point wiring of light/socket 5 Amp on an independent circuit from DB
shall not exceed 8 Nos in any case and not more than two power points in an independent circuit
from DB.
20.5.1.13. Each circuit will have its independent neutral and looping is only permitted with in the circuit only.
For example if five circuits are going out from one distribution board then five neutral wire will
also go along with phase from neutral bus-bar.
20.5.1.14. For concealed wiring, it is advisable not to lay conduit horizontally in wall but all horizontal
running of conduit should be done in RCC slab. As far as possible, only vertical run of conduit
should be laid in the wall.
20.5.1.15. Wherever more than two conduits are running together vertically concealed in wall, tenderer is
advised to wrap the PVC conduits in wire mesh and then do plaster otherwise cement plaster may
not stick to the PVC conduit and it is likely to come out. Cost of wire mesh used is deemed to be
included in the quoted cost of wiring.
20.5.1.16. Wherever Tube Light Fitting has been shown suspended by Conduit from Soffit of Roof Slab, to
fix Conduit, Contractor shall fix Mild Steel Flat of suitable size in Slab while casting the Roof
Slab/Floor Slab.
20.5.1.17. PVC Conduit used in Point Wiring for flushed Florescent Fitting and Ceiling Fan fixed at False
Ceiling Area, can be laid on False Ceiling.
20.5.1.18. Mild Steel Conduit used for suspension of Tube Light Fittings shall conform to IS-9537.
20.5.2. PVC CONDUIT:
20.5.2.1. PVC conduit to be used for point wiring/sub main wiring shall be Heavy Grade and all as specified in
Para 19.29 of MES Schedule Part-I.
20.5.2.2. PVC circular box and bend used for PVC conduit shall also be conforming to IS-3419
20.5.3. FLEXIBLE CABLE Flexible cable shall be with tinned annealed stranded copper conductors of 1
Sqmm 3 runs (phase, neutral and earth) with PVC insulation.
20.5.4. CEILING ROSES: Ceiling rose shall be surface type and shall comply with IS-371 having three
terminals plate and as specified in Para 19.32 of SSR 2009 Part I.
20.5.5. EARTH WIRE
20.5.5.1. Copper PVC insulated wire conforming to IS-694 green in colour of size given in Schedule A
will be continuously laid along with other colour coded wire of the each circuit as asked in
Schedule A.
20.5.5.2. The cables shall be with multistranded copper conductor PVC insulated unsheathed suitable for
1100 volts, for PVC conduit as specified. For point/sub main wiring color code of cables as per IE
rule shall be maintained.
20.5.5.3. Earthing shall conform to IS - 3043. Min. distance between Two Earth Pits shall be kept 4.5 Metre.
20.5.6. MCB AND DISTRIBUTION BOARD
20.5.6.1. Extra length of cable shall be kept inside the distribution board for connection with MCB. All
cable terminals with MCB shall be provided with suitable crimping lugs. All MCB and their
distribution board shall comply with IS 8828-1978 and shall have minimum rupturing capacity as
10.0 KA.
