b)

i)

Sub-main feeder from MSB to SDBS & DBS

PVC/PVC-Cu or XLPE/PVC- Cu Cables through Cable tray/ladder PVC-Cu single core cables through UPVC conduit / Trunking (In concealed area)

ii)

Final circuits from DBS to lighting, switch Socket outlets

c)

Supplies shall be distributed from the main switch board at Ground floor. Vertical distribution shall be through cables installed within main electrical riser. Voltage drop in cables shall not exceed 4% according to the IEE Regulations. Power Factor correction capacitor banks shall be installed at the main switch board.

-2-

d)

The power distribution to each tenant to be separately metered serving at least three tenants per floor. All Energy meters must be clustered at ground floor or remotely located with a display being located at ground floor.

04. Interior Lighting Provision and Socket Outlet Electrical scope of work considered only for point wiring . Supply luminaries is not included to the electrical work. a) General lighting for areas such as staircases, corridors, plant rooms, car-parks and circulation areas shall have fully enclosed fluorescent luminaries and point wiring shall be carried out under electrical work. Time switch c/w manual override switch will be used to operate extension and staircase lighting during certain interval of the day.

b) Lighting for building faade, lift lobbys, function rooms, snack bar etc. Will take into consideration aesthetic aspects. The selection of special lighting fixtures for these areas shall be under the guidance of the interior designer.

c)

Maintained type emergency lighting and illuminated Exit sign shall be provided to illuminate the escape paths, staircases, public areas and toilets during power failure. Supply of emergency lighting including point wiring shall be provided to the electrical work.

d) To decide the number of lighting points required for different areas, recommended illuminance is considered as follows.

RECOMMENDED ILLUMINANCE (GENERAL LIGHTING) Recommended Illuminance (LUX) 300 200 500 150 200 300

Location/Areas Entrance Halls / Lobbies Store Rooms General Offices Circulation areas, corridors and Staircases Lift lobbies Plantroom/ Gen Room/ Meter Room e)

The wiring to lighting points shall either be using lighting trunking or through neatly arranged casing made to BS standards. f) The wiring to socket outlet shall also be through three compartment trunking along the wall in order to accommodate for ELV services. As the tenant requirement may vary from one to other trunking system shall be with modular type outlets. g) The number of socket outlet shall be so selected in order cater the tenants requirement as well as landlord common facilities.

06

Lightning Protection System

-3-

A complete lightning protection system will be installed in accordance with the relevant British Standards or French standards. The lightning protection system will consist of a network of horizontal conductors on the roof and vertical down conductors which shall be terminated to the Earth Electrodes (Ground Floor Level), through inspection pits. The earthing resistance of the earth electrodes shall not be less than ten(10) ohms. If the system follows to French standard an early streamer type lightining rod and one or two down conductors with necessary earthing shall be provided.

07

Telephone PABX System and Data system/ Structured Cabling system Multipair cat 3 telephone cabling shall be run from Main Equipment Cabinet(MEC) to Secondary Equipment Cabinet(SEC). The wiring to telephone outlet shall be using 1 pair cat3 cables or 0.5mm telephone cables All Equipment cabinet shall have sufficient space to accommodate tenants PABX and or Data Switches.

The work scope of Telephone System will cover the following. i) Provide underground pipes from the boundary of the premises to location of MDF for incoming telephone cable supplied by the authority. Wiring of the internal distribution network through vertical shaft cable Trays and conduits. The PEO TV requirement shall also be coordinated with the telecom authority if needed.
