ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS

ANNEXURE B
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM OF CABLING FOR CIRCUITS OVER 250 VOLTS
B-1 CABLES
B-1.1 Conduit armoured or aluminium sheathed or any approved types
of cables carefully selected for the particular application shall be
used. The conduit runs shall be done as set out in Appendix A.
B-1.2 The sizes of cables shall be selected so as to comply with
approved rules, recurrent regulations and operation temperature
factors.
B-1.3 Paper insulated lead cables, having vertical drops, shall be of the
dry core type non-bleeding type of the normal type with ends
effectively sealed to prevent bleeding at joints. For avoiding
induction effects and consequent heating, wiring shall be done as
per approved regulations.
B-1.4 Cables run in concrete work shall be accepted if approved
standard of cement and sand are employed in the concrete.
Note

The system employs special rubber tubing, which is

inflated to give the requisite size of cable hole in the
concrete in process; thereafter the concrete is poured round
the tube. When the concrete is set, the rubber tubes are
deflated and withdrawn to make room for the cable, which is
put through the whole. This system is a provisional one and
stands for reconsideration from time to time.
