8 nos of 1hp AC.
1 no of 1.5hp AC.
4 no of 15 liter water heater.

Base in my calculation, the total load up s 81A I have factor all other things like cooker and also assumed that you are using LED light.

So better to go for 100A TPN changeover switch.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by topsy23: 11:40am On Nov 24, 2018
earthrealm:


theoritically, a 2hp ac is abt 1600w / 240v = 7amps approx, yet 15amps fuse is specified for it, water heater, small ones is 1000w, big ones 1500w, 1000w/240v = 4amps approx, so 11amps total for 1 room, using a 20amps fuse/breaker ix an acceptable design philosophy.
again, the market is awash with fakes, a 25amp rated product might actualy be 10amps! in reality
the op is asking about changeover abi??...for nepa/generator??

Well, you are right but the reason of using 20A to protect the AC is because of the starting current. Starting current is 2xtimes the running current. Running current of AC is about 9.1A , Below are some wattage of equipment

AC 2000W
water heater to be 1500W

Aluminum is better than Asbestos, aesthetically and health wise.
good dey sir, Oga u can not compared aluminum to that asbestos, 1_ life time, the time that aluminum will used, u can not compared it to. Asbestos, is used to black after some season, but when we are talking about good product of aluminum, it can not changed in colour, there are many factors that u will considered in aluminum, and u will neglect asbestos, about from aluminum is still beautiful building, the technology have make it easy for us, now, u can see aluminum 0.45 psrsqure metre # 1150, and the asbestos is almost #1000, for solo, for my own calculation, is only little different from the each others, don't run for aluminum, is not expensive like that, is only that our peoples are not trusted, l voted for aluminum thanks

i will send you a quote now, but you need to let us know the type of land you are fencing.


Is it a swampy land, water log or dry land, if it is a dry land, you need to decide either to use block pillars, or concrete pillars. All this have there own cost effectiveness.

If swampy of water log land, you will need raft for the fence and it most have concrete pillars.

To give you accurate quote, all this questions need some answers @sunshi

Yes change from Nepa to generator

ok, if its the chinko knife change over , then go for 200amps,its about 5k naira, while 100amp is abt 3500 naira or so..not much difference.

but if its the bulky clunky types that make a sharp loud sound when engaged, you are ok with the 63amp type

Hello,

I know we discussed granite a long time ago but i couldn't find the reference pages.

There are different granite types out there...3/4" down, 1/2", normal 3/4" etc.

Which of these is ideal for concrete (foundation, column, beam) and why?

Thanks

With the type of load he has a single phase change over switch is not advisable. The knife change over switch comes in single phase and not THREE phase.

The electrician got a big 63 Amps three phase change over which I stopped him to install and told him 100 Amps rating should be used. He brought his calculation book and explain that the 63 amps is good. But not convinced yet.
