1.0 Rationale

The objectives of this micro-project study the Domestic and

commercial installation. The requirements on electrical
installations in commercial and industrial areas are at times
significantly higher as compared with the construction of
residential buildings. Such factors as compressive strength and
resistance of conduits are of great significance, especially in
industry and crafts business.

Commercial electricians  generally handle the installation and

maintenance of electrical components in businesses. This includes
office buildings, housing developments, hospitals, and schools.
These typically involve security systems, air conditioning systems,
cabling, lighting, and other equipment. Commercial electrical
installations are very different from residential ones  in several
essential ways.  In business premises, new wiring remains fully
accessible and out in the open, typically safeguarded by conduits
to protect against hazards. Electrical wiring in business premises
uses thermoplastic materials featuring nylon high resistance
coating inside the conduit to protect wiring. If flammable liquids,
gases, or other hazardous substances are in the environment, the
electrician will make sure wiring and outlets are installed a safe
distance away from these components. Depending on the potential
hazards nearby, special insulation might be used to further shield
the wiring.

The majority of commercial installations require 3-phase power

installation. This involves a 208-volt wide leg with a neutral wire
and two 120-volt legs. These voltage qualities are essential to keep
motors and wiring operating properly in commercial
environments.
2.0 Literature Review

individual approach to each client. One family may want upgraded
exterior lighting while another may want to switch to LED lights for
their interior. Whatever the case, you’ll benefit from our strong
work ethic. We offer both lighting installation and repair

Many homeowners want recessed lighting installation in their bedrooms

and living rooms, especially when these rooms are small. With recessed
lighting, the light fixture is placed above the ceiling and it adds depth to the
room. Recessed lighting can also help you to highlight your room’s best
features while making it look more elegant.
However, it can be quite time-consuming to install and it requires
knowledge of electrical wiring and carpentry. It’s, therefore, best to let a
professional handle your recessed lighting installation. This type of lighting
is desired because of its visual effect so if the work isn’t done properly, the
entire look will be ruined. Hiring a professional ensures you get the
aesthetics you want.
COMMERCIAL OUTDOOR LIGHTING SERVICES IN COLORADO

The importance of professionally planned and installed commercial

outdoor lighting cannot be overstated. Not only will it keep your
outside areas safe, but it can also provide amazing decorations for
the whole building. If you want it done right the first time, you
should consider hiring a trained professional commercial
electrician from Prolectric in Bellvue, Wellington, or Fort Collins. 
Outdoor lighting can replace and enhance many forms of decor. It
will beautifully highlight your building, making it stand out to both
you and your customers. At Prolectric, we are well-known for going
above and beyond for our clients, and we’ll do our best to meet
your commercial outdoor lighting needs.

1.0 Brief Description

In this micro project make a report on a domestic and commercial
electrical installation. Installation terms are absolutely different
when it comes to their use in diverse zones. Electrical terms used
for a residential building are not much more complicated than the
commercial ones. Electrical work is a necessity whether it’s a both
domestic building or an industrial complex. Commercial electrical
installation is totally different from and residential electrical
installation in terms of installed wiring, energy need, equipment
setups and power load. They both require the varying classes of
materials and procedures. So, when it comes to electrical
installation of a residential and commercial building, below are
some listed key points, which can help highlight the differences.

Wiring Installation: It is the first difference, which can be

considered while installation. Because the flow of electricity is
powerful and strong, it should be implanted properly into the
building to halt a great deal of damage. In residential homes,
wiring installation should be done according to the set standard
which mainly describes the wiring codes according to the
predefined categories of wires that would be sustainable and
ensure the safety of property. In domestic building and houses, the
wiring used has a plastic sheathing around the thin and narrow
wires, which protects the wiring and the surrounding material from
potential risks.

Whereas in the commercial building, all wirings are held by a tube-

like conduit, for protection and organized under the open and
spacious area, which allows easy access to them when required. As
the commercial electrical system is much complicated and heavy
powered than residential ones, it requires upgradation and
maintenance on a fixed time basis.

Nowadays, tech-savvy home and commercial owners demands the

new breed of cables and requires equipment with the rise of new
technology, residential and commercial cabling must be reformed
to match the advances.

6.0 Outputs of Micro-Project.

Residential electrical installation plan.

This is the plan where we should calculate everything i.e., what are
the materials required for the plan and make a chat of materials
with costing.

All dimensions are in a meter

The following assumptions

are made:
  The height of the meter board, distribution board from the
floor level = 2 meters.
  Height of horizontal run and lighting fitting from floor level =
3 meters.
  Height of switchboard from floor level = 1.5 meters.

room

Total 480w 160 120w

load = w

Total lighting circuit load = 480 + 160 + 120 = 760 watts

Total heating circuit load = 3000 watts

Total load of Installation = 760 + 3000 = 3760 watts

No of the lighting circuit

                   = Total lighting circuit load/800
                   =  760/800 = 0.95
If the total lighting circuit load exceeds 800 watts then two circuits
must be provided, but here total lighting circuit load is less than
800 watts.

Therefore, only one circuit is used.

Hence from the Meter board, one lighting and one heating circuit
are taken.

Step-02

Wiring diagram for the given plan:

MB - Meter Board
DB - Distribution Board
SB - Switch Board contains switches & sockets
Step-03:

Size of the wire

To calculate any size of the wire, first we should calculate load

current and by using a wire table size of the wire can be calculated.

Load current = Total lighting circuit load/Voltage 

                      = 760/230 = 3.30 Amps
let, a factor of safety be 2(for future demands or load)

Current rating = load current * 2 

                        = 3.30 * 2 = 6.6 Amps

Therefore, for lighting circuit 3/22 SWG copper wire is selected

from the wire table

Step-04:

Length of Conduit required, use concealed conduit system of

wiring.

05 Passage 1+1.5+0.75 1 0.5 3.25
06 Bath 1.25 1 0.5 2.75
Total 1.65 37

Total = 37 + 1,65( wall crossing )

         = 38.65 = 39 (say)
Total PVC conduit = 39 +5% wastage
                              = 40.95 = 41 meter  (say)

Step-05:

The total length of wire required

length of wire(3/22 copper wire) = 41 * 3 

                                                     = 123 meter

Step-06:

Wood screws(assorted size) = 4(No of MB+SB)

                                             = 4(1 + 4)
                                             = 20 + 5% wastage
                                             = 21.95 Nos

Step-07:

The number of wood plugs required is  22 Nos as same as wood

screws.

Step-08:

Other accessories required

01. ICDP Switch

load current = 3.30 * 2 = 6.6 Amps

A 15A ICDP switch is selected or 15A MCB is used.

02. Switches = No of lamps + fans + sockets

= 12 + 2
= 14 Nos
A 250 V, 5 A switches = 14Nos

03. A 250 volts, 5 A, 3-Pin socket = 2 Nos

04. No of fan regulators = 2 Nos
05. No of Pendant holder = 6 Nos
06. No of Angle holder = 4 Nos
07. No of ceiling roses = No of fan + No of pendant
= 2 + 6 = 8 Nos
08. Fluorescent fitting, 230 V, 5 A = 4 set
09. Ceiling fans, 230 V = 2 set
10. Incandescent fitting = 6 set
11. No of Tees = 4 Nos
12. Meter Board = 1 Nos
13. Switch Board = 4 Nos

Step-09:

Labor Charge

The labor charge depends upon the number of points

No of point 
           = (lights + fan + sockets) * 0.5 + MB + DB
           = (10 + 2 + 2) * 0.5 + 1 + 1
           = 15 Nos

Labor Cost = Cost per point * No of points

                   = 195 * 15 = Rs 2970.00
