Introduction
Electricity Supply Specifications
Electricity supply for domestic consumers, according to MS IEC 60038 standards, meets the
following specifications: -
i. Single phase supply with nominal voltage of 230V, range +10%, -6%;ii. Three phase supply with nominal voltage of 400V, range +10%, -6%;
iii. Permitted frequency is 50Hz + 1%;Malaysia's BS 1363 Domestic AC power plug
Electricity transformer/convertor for US appliances.
These are the recommended wall outlet plug adapters for Malaysia.

Electrical Generation and Distribution
I. Three phase supply Refers to alternating current that continually varies in both magnitude and
direction
Its consist of three overlapping currents, in one in each phase When 3 coils are rotated at a uniform speed in the magnetic field of an
alternator, 3 identical waveforms are obtained.

II.
One phase / single phase circuit In this circuit, the electromotive force (emf) undergoes one complete cycle of
variation when the conductors in the alternator rotate through the opposite
magnetic field set up by magnets.
The voltage rises to a maximum positive value then falling to zero before continuingto a maximum negative value, before returning to zero.

Distribution Of Electricity In Building final stage in the delivery of electricity to end users. A distribution
system's network carries electricity from the transmission system and delivers it to
consumers.
The modern distribution system begins as the primary circuit leaves the sub-stationand ends as the secondary service enters the customer's meter socket. A variety of
methods, materials, and equipment are used among the various utility companies, but
the end result is similar.
I. CONSUMER CONTROL UNIT Domestic installations have a consumer unit. Unit - in various sizes but in general they consist of an 80A microgap switch, with up
to 12 single-phase and neutral (SPN) fuses and neutral terminals.
The number of circuit provided will depend on the nature of the building.
II.
FUSES Is a device for opening a circuit by means of a conductor designed to melt when an
excessive current flows.
Purposeis to protect the cable and appliance from excess current flows, which mayoccur from a fault or result from the installation of a device having a higher current
rating than the fuses.

Selection of Wiring Cable Type
The selection of the cable size has to take into consideration of these following features
All wiring cables must be PVC or PVC/PVC insulated with copper conductors.Conductors with cross sectional areas of 16mm2 or less must be of copper.
Aluminium conductors are not permitted.
Cables for swimming pools must be water resistant PE (polyethylene) insulated; The selected cable must be capable of delivering the electrical energy efficiently; The cable size allows it to carry the current without heating the cable; The voltage drop must not exceed 4% of the supply voltagevi. The cable insulation must be suitable for the surrounding conditions of the installation,
such as the ability to withstand the surrounding temperatures and the ability to provide
mechanical protection.
Each conductor in the installation must be protected from overcurrent by means ofovercurrent protection devices needed to prevent damage to the cable insulation.
5.2 Factors Related to Cable Current Carrying Capacity
The following factors in relation to the current carrying capacity of cables must be taken into
consideration;
Surface wiring using clipsgroup factor; Wiring using conduitsspace factor 40%; Wiring using ductsspace factor 45%; Concealed wiringgroup factor; and Concealed wiring using ductssurrounding temperature factor.
The correct installation for any installation depends on :-
The current to be carried The voltage drop The operating temperature

For a given current, the greater conductor cross-sectional area, the less heat is generated.
Excessive heat will damage the insulation. If several cable are run in one conduit, duct or trunking, a temperature increase due to
bunching will occur.
To limit this effect, the cable size may have to be increased and the number of cablesrestricted to a certain percentage of the cross-sectional area of the conduit.
An insulatoris a material that offers a high resistance to the flow of electricity in alldirections.
PVC cable Mineral-insulated cable
PVC cable is :- Is widely used for domestic and commercial applications. Is largely unaffected by oil and many chemicals (non-hygroscopic, tough,
durable and chemically inert and will not support combustion.
