beLIEve — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 13:17:02 +0800

Anyone has any contractors who are able to secure a permit from DBKL to cut down some mango trees in front of my house and get the job done? Kuchai Lama area. It's outside my compound, therefore legally belongs to local council, i.e. DBKL. Already engaged DBKL, even DBKL not able to cut without my neighbor's consent.

Problem : Neighbor planted in front of my house years ago. 100% in front of my house. Refused any form of compensation to get it cut.

Maximum number of electrical wires in PVC conduits

beLIEve — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 23:28:38 +0800

Hello World!

Has anyone tried inserting/pulling 12 or more 4mm^2 wires in a 1 inch PVC conduit? Any difficulty through the elbows?

According to US NEC (one of the many sites : https://www.vikingelectric.com/c/BusinessPa...onduit_Fil_VES) , it's allowable to put up to 8x 10 AWG wires in a 3/4 inch PVC conduit. A 4mm^2 is slightly smaller than 11 AWG and 3/4 inch US is around 1 inch Malaysia measurements.

Thanks in advance.

Possible wiring leak ?

beLIEve — Mon, 15 May 2017 13:38:16 +0800

Hello World!

I just noticed this weird problem in my kitchen. Apartment, original wiring done by developers 20 years ago, untouched since then. House was tenanted for several years before we bought and moved in. Only 1 fridge is connected. No oven, no washing machine since we moved in. MCB never trip before.

2 (I believe) separate circuits through 2 MCB from the DB.

MCB 1 --- Kitchen Socket 1 (fridge) --- Kitchen Socket 2 (table fan for the past 2 years)
MCB 2 --- Room Socket A (only used for vacuuming 1-2 times a year) ---Kitchen Socket B (almost never used)

Test :
I have a torch with an LED light and 2-pin plug. LED goes on when it's charging. Unplug everything from all sockets and off the sockets.

1. Insert the torch into Socket 1 or Socket 2 and switch on the socket. Noticed that the LED lit brightly. This is good.
2. Switch off the socket. Manually switch off MCB 1.
3. Switch on the socket (still at Socket 1 or Socket 2). Noticed that the LED lit dimly, about 10% from "brightly". This is unexpected.

4. Repeat the test with MCB 2 off and torch connected to Socket A or Socket B - same symptoms. This is unexpected.

5. Switch off both MCB 1 and MCB 2. LED does not light up. This is good.

6. Repeat the test with other circuits (let's say, those connected to MCB 3 and MCB 4) - LED does not light up. This is good.

Questions :
1. Do I have some problem or is this due to some unusual wiring mechanism that I'm not aware of?

2. If there is a live-to-neutral leak, MCB should trip, no? Even if the amperage is not high enough to trip the MCB, eletricity bill should be unusually high, but this is not the case. If this is a live-to-live short, LED should light up brightly, no (unless there is such a thing as a very minor live-live short)?

Doesn't make sense to me if this is a Neutral-to-live short, i.e. Live 1 --- Neutral 1 -short- Live 2 --- Neutral 2 because Live 1's sockets are off with nothing plugged in.

Any chances this is due to :

QUOTE(Richard @ May 27 2016, 07:37 PM)

The main reason is the wire pvc insulation degrades as it gets older and if pvc is exposed to heat it degrades even faster.. Old pvc becomes brittle and its insulation property changes from being an insulator to becoming partly conductive..

I also have plans to disconnect Socket 2 and Socket B from the loop and see if the problem goes away. I don't think this'll help, because the only place the 2 circuits meet is at the DB box going out. Once goes to the room and then kitchen, while the other goes directly to the kitchen.

Thanks in advance.

p/s : No plans to get electricians to check out the problem. In the midst of laying some new wires, so if these are faulty, I'll just replace them along. I'm keen to learn the cause though. It's just odd that the problem is happening to both independent circuits.
