Installation of changeover and gear switch in one of our site

Oga Topsy23,

I don't understand your talk

1.5mm single core for lighting
Red colour is Live
Black Colour is Neutral
Green is for the earth cable.(Most of light fittings don't normally come with earth terminal, reason for neglecting earth cable for the lighting circuit).

2.5mm single core cable is for the socket outlet(both single and double). At times it can also be use for water heater if the litres is not more than 20litres.
Red colour is Live
Black Colour is Neutral
Green is for the earth cable
Note: Earth cable is very important in the installation of socket, AC, Water heater, cooker unit etc......

-It keeps people safe by preventing electric shocks
-It prevents damage to electrical appliances and devices by preventing excessive current from running through the circuit
-It prevents the risk of fire that could otherwise be caused by current leakage
-Earth can also serves as neutral if the Neutral fail

Please what are these wires for in electrical works
1.5mm
Red 4
Black 3
Green 3

2.5mm
Red 3
Black 3
Green 1

4mm
Red 1
Black 1

16mm 1

the analysis above shows that 1.5mm green is going to be use as earth cable for the 2.5mm. you can see that the number of red and black of 2.5mm is the same with 1.5mm. Same as 4mm and 2.5mm green

Since we rarely see Kabemetal cables here. It will be nice to know their various sizes prices in comparison to Nigerchin and Coleman. I heard Kabelmetal is one of the best. Thanks.

Hajji M.

Sir Kabelmetal is even cheaper than Coleman presently and the they have cables on ground.
Kabelmetal and Nigerchin are in the same class. Below is their price as at June 11th .

The Main reason for adding salt and charcoal in during earthing system. is that charcoal and salt helps to maintain low resistance for earth fault currents. Because of ionic behavior of salt and charcoal they will maintain moisture content around the earth pit.

Yes you can install the outdoor units above the indoor units. For instance, third floor AC outdoor units can be installed on the 7th floor being the roof floor.

yes you are correct. I have said it earlier. But remember the distance between them must not be more than 15m

Happy Birthday Oga Topsy.......Many more years in Peace and Prosperity

Thanks boss

Call us today

Jbsky:
Please is there any performance difference between installation of AC outdoor unit at lower level than the indoor unit level, and installation of both at same height level (both outdoor and indoor units).

I can see most installations are done with outdoor units installed at a lower level, I would like to consider same level installation to cut cost. Kindly educate me on the disadvantages.
Many thanks.

There is no performance different between the two so far the distance between them is not more than 15m. installing it at lower level makes the maintenance easier and there is no need of ladders.. But if you a storey buildin, you have no choice than having outdoor of the first floor installed at high level. Some people will prefer bringing down the upper floor outdoor to the ground floor.

Some design will have AC ledge on each floor while some will tell you that all outdoors to be installed on the roof. BUT remember the distance between indoors must not be more than 15m

Thanks for your calls

Very dangerous games oh. Even with all the signatures from witness oh. I just weak for Nigerians. Make I just my money buy more bitcoin jeje...

Other state might be better since you plan to build an hostel and not residential building. Lagos is no go area alot scammers among the land agent. Hostel should be close to higher institution for a good return on investment(ROI). Outside Lagos will be a good location for your proposal.

Also, i thank God for another successful 365days in my life
