Maintain safe distance from Electric Supply Lines

While selecting plots it is advised that to avoid those plots which are very near to the electric supply lines, like high voltage lines passing over the plot or lines passing through the boundaries of the plot. But if still you don’t have any option to avoid and you have to construct your home, then in such conditions you should consider the guidelines laid down by Indian Electricity Rules which is amended time to time.

As per current Indian Electricity Rules, any structure should be constructed keeping a safe distance from the nearby passing electric supply lines. If the structure is having extended parts like Verandah, Balcony etc. then the safe distance should be measured from it. The details of the safe distance to be maintained are furnished below.

Sl. No.	Type of Electric Supply Line	Vertical Distance	Horizontal Distance
1)	Low and medium voltage lines and service lines	2.5m	1.2m
2)	High voltage lines up to and including 11 000 V	3.7m	1.2m
3)	High voltage lines above 11 000 V and up to and including 33 000 V	3.7m	2.0m
4)	Extra high voltage line beyond 33 000 V	3.7m (plus 0.3 m for every additional 33 000 V or part thereof)	2.0m (plus 0.3 m for every additional 33 000 V or part thereof)

Buying Tips for Electric Wires

Buying Tips for Electric Wires

Electric wires are used for wiring purpose. Therefore it is very much important to select good electric wires so as to make your home safe and electrically shock proof. 

In market there are plenty of wires available, but choosing a right wire is bit difficult. To make it easy, we have listed out some of the properties which one should consider while making a purchase.

Material: Electric wires are made of both Copper and Aluminium. But for wiring of home, one should always choose copper wires only. Also wires having multiple strands should be chose instead of single strand wires. But above all, the electric wire should have ISI mark, because it is a mark of quality. Wires can be ISI 694 (Part I) marked or IS 694 (Part II) marked. Buy IS 694 Part I marked wires. Next, the electrolytic grade. Choose copper wires of electrolytic grade 99.97%.

Wire insulation: A good electric wire should be three layered. Among the three layers, the first layer is water resistant, second is heat and high temperature resistant and third layer is fire retardant. Heat and fire resistant wires carry a mark HRFR. Check the highest temperature that the insulation can withstand without melting. It should be + 100^o C.

Size of wire: Commonly used sizes of wires are 1 sq mm, 1.5 sq mm, 2 sq. mm, 2.5 sq mm and 4 sq mm. Choose 4 to 6 sq mm size for AC points, 1.5 sq mm size for light points and 5 ampere three pin sockets and 2.5 sq mm size for power sockets. For split AC wiring, choose 6 sq mm size wires.

Colour of wire insulation: Choose red, yellow and blue colour insulation for the three phases, black colour for neutral and green for earth wire. However, every country has different colour code for electric wires. For example, in USA, live three phase wires are in black, red and blue and neutral is in gray or white. Only earth wire is green like in India.

Length of wire: Check the length of the coil printed on the pack, as normally contractors quote their rates, per coil and not per metre length of wire. Generally, length of wire in each coil is printed to be 90 metres.

The above information will certainly help you to choose correct electric wires that will make your home electrically safe.

Things to be taken care during Electrical wiring

Electrical mistakes are common in each and every house that may be dangerous for residents. When you are designing your dream home you must be aware about the electrical mistakes and its effects. Because when you start living in the home and experience the electric faults it may be panic for you. So make sure you do the following to ensure good electric works.

1. Always hire a professional or good electrician for all electric works including wiring of your home.
2. All electric works and installations should comply with latest Indian Electricity Acts and Rules in all respects. (Read more about Home wiring rules as per ISI specifications)
3. All materials to be used in electrical fittings should be of approved and from a reputed manufacturer as per ISI specifications. Never use low quality materials as it may cause fatal accidents.
4. Make sure that electrician has calculated total load from various items that would be used in the house. (Read more about How to calculate consumption of electrical appliances?)
5. A lot of times it is seen that electricians are careless while using right load bearing wires for wiring purpose and these wires get burnt when entire load is put on wires. Therefore, make sure that the wires being used for wiring are capable of taking total load.
6. Wires should be at least 30 mm far away from the electric box or wooden frame so that the wires are not cut or punched at the time of nailing. Wires should be installed carefully otherwise it may cause electric shock or short circuiting.
7. It is important to install standard length wire in the junction box. Generally 150 mm long wire in box is enough to make proper connection. Also too much wire should not be left in junction box that may damage the wire.
8. Use separate holes for different electric lines. It will help you to avoid electric shocks. If it is not possible to have different hole for all electric lines then pass minimum wires from the hole. Too much wire passing from a hole may cause friction burns at the time of pulling of wire.
9. Always use MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) as it provides protection against over loads and short circuits and save wires, cables and equipments.
10. Provide proper earthing to the wiring as it saves human life from danger of electric shock or death. (Read more about Earthing in home

MCB and its advantages

In earlier days, to protect an electric circuit from overload or short circuit, Fuse was commonly used. But nowadays it has been replaced by MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker).

 MCB is an electromechanical device which protects an electrical circuit from short circuit, overload or faulty design which may lead to overcurrent. A MCB is a better alternative to a Fuse as it has more advantages over the later one.

1. MCB is much more sensitive to overcurrent than Fuse. As the name suggests, it automatically breaks the electrical circuit during overload condition as well as faulty condition.
2. Another advantage is that for breaking the electrical circuit it just trips and the switch operating knob comes at its OFF position. Due to this the faulty zone of the electrical circuit can easily be identified. But in case of fuse, fuse wire should always be checked by opening fuse grip or cutout from fuse base, for confirming the blow of fuse wire.
3. In case of Fuse, quick restoration of electric supply can not be possible as because Fuse has to be rewired or replaced for restoring the electric supply. But in the case of MCB, quick restoration is possible by just switching the operating knob to its ON position.
4. Handling MCB is electrically more safe than Fuse.

Because of so many advantages, MCB thus offers improved operational safety and greater convenience without incurring large operating cost. Therefore it is advised to use MCB instead of backdated Fuse.
