Hi

I just installed

a) Auto Gate point using 7 core x 2.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable buried underground
b) Gate Light point using 2 core x 1.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable buried underground
c) Door bell point using 2 core x 1.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable burier underground

I read some people said 11 core armored cable for the gate but mine only have 7 core...So, is it sufficient? any disadvantage or problem that I may face in the future? I have been asked the contractor about this before install but he insisted 7 core was enough...

Anyone please give some explanation?

thanks a lot~

It is not money issues....and I don't know why contractor don't want to install more core for me (more money to earn but they don't want)..

now, I am worried I may face problems in the future because of this....scared....haiz

Can be added up like that? I don't know...I thought gate itself should have 11 core?

ooh...according to the description of my quotation, bell, light and gate are separated...if all add up, mine one should be 11 core...

for me, renovation is a nightmare...If something doesn't done right, will end up a lot of problems..headache man...

a) Auto Gate point using 7 core x 2.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable buried underground RM450 (per nos)
b) Gate Light point using 2 core x 1.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable buried underground RM120 (per nos)
c) Door bell point using 2 core x 1.5mm PVC/SWA/PVC cable burier underground RM120 (per nos)

Hmm..based on few quotations that I received, all charge separately....

per unit regardless of length..(of course, the length already in their calculation after site measurement/inspection....and the size of project maybe a factor of price too...)
