9) D.G.S. & D. rate contract
10) Cost plus (+) percentage variable rate contract
11) Cost plus (+) fluctuating fees rate contract
Explanation:
1) Lump sum contract:
 In this contract whenever both parties are known then project work is handed over from
party No.1 (Owner) to party No.2 (Contractor) for lump sum amount after the
discussion and work is completed.
 But if one of the or both parties are unknown then the quality of work may be reduced.
 The time period for completion may be delayed.
 The lump sum contract may be uneconomical for both parties. 2 Marks for
2) Item rate contract : explanation of
 This contract is more economical & advantages as compare to lump sum contract. any one type
 In this type of contract the whole project work is divided into number of various items of Contract
& each item is separately charged.
3) Cost + % rate contract:
 This type of contract is advantageous as compare to above two methods and it can be
used for medium & large size of project.
 In this type of contract the total material and labour cost is decided & according to the
fixed & rate of profit, margin of the contractor is decided & contract is handed over.
 Sometimes it may uneconomical for both parties.
4) Cost plus (+) percentage variable rate contract:
 It is similar to cost + percentage fixed rate contract. Only difference is that the profit
margin of the contractor is variable.
 It may change according to market condition i.e. why it is more economical for both
parties.
5) Material supply contract:
 In this contract the contractor supplies various types of materials required for project
work time to time as per requirements & specifications of party No.1 & billing is
changed.
6) Labour contract:
 In this type of contract, the various types of labours (skilled, unskilled, semiskilled
labour) are provided by the contractor to the party No.1 time to time for completion of
project work.

& each item is separately handed over to another contractor. This is subcontractor.
 In the sub-contracting, quality of project work may be reduced.
9) All in one contract:
 It is the best contract among the all contracts. But time required to decide the all in one
contract is very large hence it unsuitable for medium size & large size of project.
10) D.G.S. &D. rate contract :
( Director of General Supplies or Disposal of central government contract):
 In this type of contract the total cost of project work is decided by the PWD (Public
work Department) of government & contract is handed over.
 This type of contract is compulsory for government organizations, semi government
organizations & government undertaking organizations.
11) Cost plus (+) fluctuating fees rate contract:
 In this contract, contractor fee is variable. The fluctuating fee is inversely proportional
to the actual cost of project.
 Higher the actual cost, lower will be the value of the fee that contractor receives and
Vice versa.

Design considerations in case of industrial installation:
(i) Input current of the motor
When motor is connected to the supply, it draws much more current than its rated current till
the motor comes up to rated speed. This is starting current of the motor.
The current rating of cables for supply to motor may be based upon the normal full load
current of motor, but the rating of fuse should be based upon the starting current.
(ii) Selection of size of cable
The cables shall have a current carrying capacity of not less than 150 % of the motor full load
current rating.
(iii) Selection of size of conduit
The required size of conduit depends on (a) no. of cables to be installed (b) the cross
sectional area of the cable and (c) the permissible conduit fill.
(iv) Determination of rating of fuse
The criteria for selecting the correct size of fuse for motor protection is that it may carry the
starting current safely.
Starting current = 1.5 x full load current
(v) Selection of starter
1. Induction motor of low rating ----Direct On Line starter
2. Induction motor of medium rating (upto 15 Hp) ----Star delta starter
3. Induction motor of high rating ----Auto transformer starter
4. Slip ring Induction motor of high rating---- Rotor resistance starter
5. DC series motor ---- two point starter
6. DC shunt/compound motors --- Three point starter/ Four point starter
(vi) Selection of rating of Main switch
The current rating of main switch is the starting current of one motor of highest rating plus
full load current of remaining motor.
(vii) Selection of rating of Distribution board
The specification of the distribution board is decided from the no. of circuits to be fed from
it. The voltage rating is decided by operating voltage of the circuits.
The current rating is the highest starting current of the circuits fed from it.
(viii) Type of supply required for every machine
 DC
 Single phase AC
 Three phase AC

Methods of Cable Termination For HT (11KV) Line:
1. Heat Shrink ½ Mark for
2. Lug Termination each of any
3. Claw type termination four methods
4. Spade termination = 2 Marks
5. Crimping
1) Heat shrink:
Heat shrink cable terminations can be used for LV-MV-HV power cables present indoors
and outdoors. Indoors, these cable terminations connect to substation switchgear,
transformers and insulated cable boxes. Outdoors, they are used in overhead and
underground distribution lines.
 High-quality heat shrink cable terminations have excellent strength 4 Marks for
 They are highly resistant to chemicals, solvents, and extreme temperatures explanation of
 Highly quality cable terminations do not crack, melt or get displaced when applied any one

allows the terminal to be removed from a termination post without completely removing the
compression nut (as is required with ring lugs). This security feature may be beneficial in
moderate vibration environments where there is a requirement for the termination to be
disconnected.
5) Crimping
Crimping is a totally different wire termination method. This was used to replace soldering
techniques. In this method, the connection is made using a crimping tool. The insulation of
the conductor is manually un-stripped and it is connected with the contact of the cable
assembly. Though the physical exertion is very high in this type of termination, it also offers
very reliable connectivity.

i) Total Load:
09 Fluorescent tubes each of 40 W =09x40= 360 W
04 Fans each of 50 W = 04x50 = 200 W
02 No. of 5 Amp Sockets = 02 x 100 = 200W
L & F Total=760 W
ii) No. of Sub circuits:
Total no. of L & F points 15 and wattage 760 W
As per no. of points 15/10 = 1.5means 2 sub circuits
As per wattage 760/800 = 0.95 means 1 sub circuits
So for L & F there will be 2 sub circuits
Sub circuit No. and Tube Fan 5 A Socket
Switch boards
L & F sub circuit No. T1,T2,T3,T4,T5, F1,F2 S1
I – SB1
L & F sub circuit No. T6,T7,T8,T9 F3,F4 S2
II – SB2
iii)Calculation of length of casing capping:

EM to DB = 1m (H)
DB to SB1 = 1.75 (Vup) +4+2(Vdown)=7.75 m
SB1 to (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, F1, F2) = 0.75(H)+0.5 (V up) +6+3x(1.75x2)+3+2 = 22.75m
SB1 to SB2 = 7.25(H)+2 (Vdown) = 9.25m
SB2 to (T6, T7, T8, T9, F3, F4) = 0.5 (Vup)+ 6+ 3x(1.75x2) = 17m

Model Answer
Total Length of casing capping = 1+7.75+22.75+9.25+17=57.75 58
Consider 10% wastage, Total Length of casing capping = 58+5.8= 63.8 64m
Using thumb rule,
Total length of Phase & neutral wire (1.5 mm2) for lighting sub-circuit,
= 3 times length of casing capping + 10% extra
= 3 (58) + 10% = 174 + 17.4 = m 192 m 1 Mark
