Send email to like 2 -3 coys ask for a written price and then play them off each other I got a 30percent discount once on this.

EgunMogaji:


I hear you loud and clear and I’m in complete agreement.

Factory direct is the ultimate decision even if it costs a little bit more.

Happy to help Chief.

Your meters don't have to be together by the way, You can apply the fuse units method and still have your meters located anywhere you want. You just need to decide which is more efficient (neater, cost effective etc) for you.

The key thing is the supply is going to go from one set of fuse units to the other (Using 16mm alum or even the same size of load cable if you still have some left) then go from the fuse
units to the meter. So you're looking at 3 sets of fuse units (totalling 9) and 3 neutral connectors.

If you had individual supply cables for all the meters it wouldn't be a must for the supply to enter the fuse units first. It can enter either the meters first or fuse units ( Which in this case act as phase changers or phase selectors)

But since you have only one supply cables it cannot enter the meter first.
Nepa tupically will not agree to the connection if not to meter from pole. Unless you want to keep paying egunje as they will send new or different staff to you who will query the connection.

Got some new designs. I was told the price is N60K fabrication and installation. I think this is too expensive.
Does anyone have idea on fair prices for these types of window/door shields? Location is Lagos.

Damn too expensive!
Shouldn't be more than 20-25K each!


Maybe they should break down the cost (separate Fabrication from installation) so one can really appreciate how they arrive at such cost.
Imagine, it is twice the price of TWO standard Casement Windows! shocked shocked

But it looks really nice.


BTW: These last pictures are not Aluminium, they look more like wrought Iron to me.

It shouldn't be a problem if It doesn't contravene any of the installation guidelines.
The path along which the cable runs....( from the pole all the way to entering the meter) must be external and clearly visible .
Multi unit apartment buildings that share a supply/service cable must have a Busbar Chamber or a similar stepup. There's no way around it.

I think i prefer the design in The very first picture. The one with a grey coloured frame that looks non metal.

It's simple and still stylish

I love all the designs... I am sure it can be negotiated down from the 60K though.
I did an emergency aluminium type for the BQ back door when wind was blowing water inside for N30k for two doors (15k each), but not nice looking this ones o.

Please where did you get this ABB DB that is made in England?
ABB doesn't do any Low Voltage product manufacturing in Britain. It is also not a British brand. ABB is Swedish.

Original ABB boards have enclosures predominantly made in Egypt and India. While most of the MCBs are made in Germany.

Unfortunately you have the exact same inscriptions as seen on the authentic product replicated on the counterfeits ( made in germany , made i Egypt etc).
Don't buy an ABB board here that is described as "Made in England" its a ruse.
