portion of slabs or otherwise as may be instructed, so as to embedd the entire run
of conduits and ceiling outlet boxes with a cover of minimum 12 mm concrete.
Conduits shall be adequately tied to the reinforcement to prevent displacement

minimizing this cutting, conduits of lesser diameter than 25 mm and outlet boxes of
lesser depth than 50 mm could be used by the Contractor for such extensions only
after obtaining specific approval from Architects/Owners. For embedding conduits
in finished and plastered brick work, the chase would have to be made in the
finished brick work. After fixing conduit in chases, chases shall be made good in
most workmanlike manner to match with the original finish.

Cutting chases in finished concrete or finished plastered brick work for recessing
conduits and outlet boxes etc shall be done by the Contractors without any extra
cost.

scratches and kinks which cause breakage of conductors.

There shall be no sharp bends.

The Contractor shall, after wiring is completed, provide a blank metal/sun mica plate
on all switch / outlet / junction boxes for security and to ensure that wires are not

The insulation resistance between the frame work of housing of power appliances
and all live parts of each appliance shall not be less than that specified in the
relevant Standard specification or where there is no such specification, shall not be
less than half a me ohm or when PVC insulated cables are used for wiring 12.5
megohms divided by the number of outlets. Where a whole installation is being
tested a lower value than that given by the above formula subject to a minimum of
1 Megohms is acceptable.

9.4 Testing Of Earth Continuity Path

The earth continuity conductor including metal conduits and metallic envelopes of
cable in all cases shall be tested for electric continuity and the electrical resistance
of the same along with the earthing lead but excluding any added resistance of
earth leakage circuit breaker measured from the connection with the earth
electrode to any point in the earth continuity conductor in the completed installation
shall not exceed one ohm.

switches have been connected to the same conductor throughout, and such
conductor shall be labeled or marked for connection to an outer or phase
- 108 -
conductor or to the non-earthed conductor of the supply. In the three of four wire
