The phase and neutral conductors shall have different colour of insulation (white
for phase and black for neutral) so as to be easily distinguishable and the same
colours for the respective conductors must be adhered to for the complete
installation.
10.9 After connection of all single phase lighting sub-circuits from 3-phase and neutral
lighting distribution boards, the Contractor shall check loading in each phase and
in case of any unbalance in the system, the wiring shall be suitably modified to
balance the system as far as practicable.
10.10 Conduits and lighting fittings shall be suitably grounded. To achieve perfect
electrical continuity, the conduits shall be effectively bonded. Identification marks
