QUOTE(supersound @ Sep 14 2014, 08:30 PM) when I called up the list of consultant provided by tnb it ranges from 2k-5k. I pick the most reasonable one1) Runners fee :RM450 2) TNB connection: RM1,250 or RM1,350 3) Deposit of coz the tnb tiang is right infront of my house. |

QUOTE(supersound @ Sep 14 2014, 09:38 PM) Nope, they won't connect the cable from the tiang, it will cost more. 1. I went to tnb they say need runner. can't go direct...I also They will just tap from the nearest point. So : 1. no comment, you can safe it if you DIY, but more hassle 2. about there, as said, depending on the cable being tapped, if bangalow, it will be more 3. should be about rm800-1500 the nearest point is the tiang lor.. coz I am the corner lot. my whole row is single phase. the one opposite from my house is 3 phase but that would mean hacking the road which I don't think they would be keen. after visiting my house the runner say they will most likely tap from the tiang wor.. |

For my case it'd definitely underground Jo. Coz I will relocate my meter from inside to outside. That runner already asked me to prepare a 4" pipe connecting to my meter

QUOTE(weikee @ Sep 15 2014, 09:25 AM) Will be more expensive, how substantial I am not sure. Do update us the price, good to know. On the +ve side, it look much better if meter are outside. Yeah will update here. But waht the spec for the main cable?For single phase, cabling after meter into house is prepare by house owner. Assuming 3 Phases should be the same, and do over spec the cable (thicker than standard cables) |

QUOTE(Eng_Tat @ Sep 15 2014, 09:40 PM) Do you really need 3 phase? single phase (60A incoming) can run 6 X 1.5HP AC (5Ax6) simultaneously with a lot of spares. Last time my house i did rewires for 3 phases ready (originally came with 2 core 16mm and i added another 2 core 25mm from incoming to the db to make it 3 phase ready, but i ended using single phase for nearly 3 yrs now nvr had an issue or tripping. can check what i did at my tread. hmm donno lar..just thought of getting it done once and for all. i will be installing 4x1hp 1x1.5hp 1x2.5hp and 3 water heater that said not all will run at the same time. maybe max 50% load of the above |

QUOTE(Eng_Tat @ Sep 16 2014, 12:39 AM) you can do like me, get electrician to pull additional 4 core wires for 3 phase ready, not necessary you need to apply with tnb straight for 3 phase. as i say for single phase shall suffice if you are loading 50% as per said items, get TNB to change incoming fuse to 100A, and at the DB you can used 63A units. if you are running 3x1 HP + 2xWH simultaneously will not cause problems, at max you are pulling 12A+30A for those items. understand what you are doing. but i am also installing the TNB sellback thingy. the seda thing. so i am not sure if it will affect the installation. any idea? |

QUOTE(supersound @ Sep 16 2014, 03:06 PM) Getting Seda? Want to sell back to TNB? why the difference? not enough sunlight? well when i went to it was told coould generate RM600-Rm750 per month so i went in. heard also payment from TNB not regular. anyway the cooling part is an extra for me...What is the goal you want? If invest to gain money, then you may think again. I have 2 friends installed this, 1 installed long time ago and his ROI are 7%, another is lower at 3-4% The rate is getting lower and lower now. So for cooling your house, then go ahead, if trying to make money from it, sorry, wrong tools. After installing this solar panels(on the right direction to harvest sunlight), you will have a cooler house, your air cond cost also can come down. |

QUOTE(sridoughnut @ Nov 6 2014, 12:52 PM) 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? 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 youAppreciate if you could also PM the contact of your contractor, thank you! |

QUOTE(aliluya @ Dec 29 2014, 08:19 PM) hi guys, my new house already come with TNB cable for 3 phase but the TNB meter is running only single phase. I had change all my db and 3 phase cabling to the TNB meter. Now left only applying from TNB for the 3 phase meter which is bigger. I was told to get runner which cost around RM2.5k include deposit and replacement of the new bigger TNB meter, is this pricing ok? 1) normal connection fee from TNB-Rm1150 or RM1250 can't remember. 2) then there is the top up for the deposit 3) lastly its the runner's fee. I did mine around 2k so 2.5k should be ok... |
