Hi guys,

Which brand of wire to do re-wiring is good quality and price is reasonable?
Gonna get my keys soon. Need to do planing to re-wire the whole house.

2nd hand house. Don't like the way previous owner done the wiring, just sambung here & there even aircond just sambung normal wall plug.

Thanks for the tip. Any idea how much per row roughly?

Refer Joven instant water heater http://www.joven-electric.com/product_deta...d=2&series_id=8 specifications.

On highest (hotest) setting it(instant water heater) will draw 20+ amps from your supply. I have confirmed this with a tong tester.

Also don't take the best case scenario that they are using new expensive low power high efficiency energy saving electrical appliances after one(1) year usage any 2kw/3kw rice cooker/kettle will draw near 10 Amps from your mains.

HI, would like to ask how to identify whether it's 3 phase or single phase by looking to the DB box?

May I ask the picture show is 3 phase wiring?

Have an afternoon wild guess, this photo is a single phase or 3 phase electrical system
[attachmentid=4477995]

Just 1 row of MCBs

NOpe, only at ground floor.

Hi,

I receive TNB letter for electricity supply application by my developer, the letter mentioned is 1 phase wiring. Can I request 3 phase wiring with my developer?

Or I can only do any changes after VP?

My mother house in Kepong which is 30 years ++ will need to do whole house re-wiring.
Total electrical points as below

1. 3 air conditioner 1HP
2. 5 ceiling fan
3. 1 water heater
4. 1 rice cooker
5. 1 fridge
6. Light points (let's say 30)
7. 13A points (let's say 40)

Scope includes
1. Installation of new DB wit 24 MCB
2. Whole house re-wiring
3. Autogate wiring

The quote is RM13k ? It is reasonable or he is trying to con me ?

the 40 points on 13A is just an estimate.
However thanks for your respond.

I triple confirmed with the electric guy 24 MCB is enough ? He say enough repeatedly.
I eventually believed him and it seems I got con now.

thanks weikee, the ideal case will be no looping.
That will be my preference as well, let me think if I need to add on more MCB.

Still initial discussion, have not gone into detailed discussion.
May I ask how do u test the plug points and also the earth ?

Anyone knows what is the max power usage I can use for single phase?

Eg, can I on 1x 2.5hp aircon + 1.5hp aircon at the same time together with heater pump and oven?

My house currently got 3 aircon (total 3.5hp), 3 water heater and 1 refrigerator. Plan to add another 1 unit (1hp). Attached my current house meter and db board (single phase electricity). Can my house support concurrent use of 4 airxon on the same times ( total 4.5 hp). The new aircon i plan to install now dont have aircon power point, maybe will loop from the power point socket inside the room (second floor room, db board in first floor, so quite expensive if get the wiring direct from db board). Any sifu can advise here?

Just ask electrician to come over to inspect my house, he recommend me to change this 2 items (attached picture). Quote me RM400 for it,expensive?

wah then the electrician charge me very high on this...just change outside meter fuse and some slot (2-3 slot in my db box as shown in my attachment). even told me very complicated and might take half day to change it...isit true?

ic, so you think RM400 should be reasonable price?
