Week 9 (31 March - 6 April 2014)

Title: Project progress (FYP 2)
Objective: Result
Content: In week 9, I continue to the other parameter that are needed to select the proper cable sizing. The Reference that I use is from table 4D1A and 4D1B (book Requirements for electrical Installations).

This is the Table 4D1A. In the data selected, that only the data that I take which is enclosed in conduit on a wall or in trunking. Single phase and the conductor cross-sectional area only for 1mm to 16mm. I choose that because  we can see nowadays residence mostly use the electrical system in building using conduit on wall for their house. So, the data selection is based on that situation.

From that table I can come out with the structure of the conductor information, consist of material cable, method of installation, types of cable and the cables core. Can see at figure below:

Figure shown the material cable which consist of thermoplastic(PVC), thermosetting, fire rated and also the mineral insulated. Refer to the data (Table 4D1A) so the material cable that I only use is 70deg C Thermoplastic (PVC).

For method of Installation, I only put the general method which is clipped direct, in conduit and trunking. Actually, there has two more of the method example in tray and conduit at thermally insulating wall. If I take all the data it will be much more of simulation coding. So, I refer to my Supervisor FYP, I agree to use only that data. 

Types of cable is consist of two types general use which is cooper and aluminum.
