 ELECTRICAL WIRING
Legal Requirements
Regulation 11(1) of the Electricity Regulations 1994
states that all wiring or rewiring of an installation or
extension to an existing installation, which shall be
carried out by an Electrical Contractor or a Private
Wiring Unit, have to obtain the approval in writing from
a licensee or supply authority.
 The wireman/contractor shall: -

Undertake a site visit

Determine the consumer load requirements
Calculate the TCL,MD
Submit the plans, drawings and specifications
 Site Visit
The purpose of the site visit is to determine: -

Electrical equipment suitable for use

Maximum load demand
Single or three phase incoming supply
Type of wiring
Equipment arrangement.
 Determining Consumer Load
Requirements
With the aid of the building floor plans, the
installation requirements such as the proposed load,
placement of electrical equipment and installation
design plans can be determined.
 Calculating TCL, MD

Total Connected Load,TCL :

total sum of loads which are connected

Maximum Demand, MD:

Total load used at that particular instant of time
MD = TCL X DF
 Submission of the Plans,
Drawings and Specifications
Regulation 65 of the Electricity Regulations 1994
states that the eligibility to submit plans is as follows: -

 Wireman with Single Phase Restriction – Low voltage

single phase up to 60 amperes.
 Wireman with Three Phase Restriction – Low voltage
above 60 amperes

CONTROL AND PROTECTION
SYSTEM
This provides protection from dangers caused by
electrical currents, such as
over current,
earth leakage current,
short circuit,
 lightning, etc.
