rm38 only mah, can check others also
And because of this I know my voltage at 1 time at 259V, just because of connection issue on the meter.

What are the purpose of having multimeter?
If really worth it, i will go and get one.

Check for any open circuit, check voltage on plug points.
Anything > 245V, I'll call 15454.

Test connection of a cable, test resistance of a cables, test Amp usages, voltage, capacitance, etc...

If you don't have any basic knowledge of electrical, forget it. Your multimeter just endup in dust.

unless u hardcore then u buy lar..else no need lar. but its cheap these days those china one. my house got 2 fluke multimeter and 1 ammeter so I can check anytime...

Good idea. Haha

You make me scare la.

Then i should forget it.

Seems like you are hardcore fella in this.

last time use...but its not as difficult as it sound lar just probe only...red to wire, black to green...basically like that lar..and don't touch any exposed wire

Is better to set the correct expectation. I don't want someone come and haunt me.

Just get 4D lor.

I had my voltage at 255V which blew my water heater.

Yup, it is very easy to use actually, just don't touch the expose wire with hand

Sounds easy now.

Lol, understand la, don't worry.

Hi, wanted to know how the cables were pulled from your meter fuse to the switch box inside your house. Usually for a double story house, the switch box is located in a small store room under a staircase. My understanding is that two additional cables will need to be pulled from the meter fuse (usually outside the house) to your switch box (I may be wrong...), going through the car porch, living hall, till the store room. If this is the case, will it be a big messy hacking need to be done?

Appreciate if you could also PM the contact of your contractor, thank you!

From the TNB to meter shall be done by TNB approved contractors.
After the meter is your business to engage who(DIY also can)
If you are planning to run under ground, make sure this is the first job to be done as you need to hack, lay and protect the cables.

Yeah you need to so lots of hacking. But no one pulls additional 2 cables. They probably change the whole cables to 4 core or 5 core straight anyway pm you

Hi Guys,

Need some help here. I went thru this topic discussion and some manage to get around 2k while some can reach more than 5k to upgrade to 3 phase wiring. I tried to call TNB so many times but no one pick up, like nobody working zzz

I got a quotation from my contractor as below:

- Contribution fee
- Deposit for TNB meter
- 3 phase meterboard using 12’x20’ metal board
- Earth point using 4mm cable with 2 earth with clamp
- 39 way MCB box with 24 pcs MCB, 1x60A 3 pole 1x63A
- Total RM4,800.

Is this really reasonable? I will try to contact TNB again to check.

Hope you guys can shed me some light. Thanks.

Go direct to your nearest TNB and ask. Don't bother to call, even if someone answer you be push like ping-pong and may not get correct info.

i managed to call TNB d, he said connection fees RM1,250 and deposit RM200. Thats all for TNB, the rest is to settle with the contractor. While my contractor charging me 4800 - 1450 (TNB) = 3350. I just wondering what makes it so expensive for the balance 3350

Cabling and profit. You need to ask what other things they do.

Are your contractor going to add more power points? help you redistribute/even out the DB?

hmm i think that's another quotation, there are 3 quotations:
- upgrade to 3 phase
- additional DB to first floor with sub main cable
- additional power point/extension.
