 TOTAL CONDUIT CALCULATION:

TOTAL CONDUIT NEEDED

= From meter to Distribution Box + From Distribution Box to Every Switchboard and AC +
Switchboard to Fan/Light/Plug
= 10 ft + 286 ft + ( 179.5 + 113 + 115.5 + 71 + 143.5 + 194.5 + 56 + 82 + 34 + 39 ) ft.+ 58 ft + 9 ft
= 1390 ft.

By Increasing 5% Total Conduit Needed = 1460 ft.

Step 3 ( Wire Size Calculation)
 TOTAL WIRE CALCULATION:

Cable 7/.044 (34 A) = 102 feet

Increasing after 5% , total Cable 7/.044 (34 A) needed = 107.1 feet

Cable 3/.029 (13 A) = 121 feet

Increasing after 5% , total Cable 7/.044 (34 A) needed = 127.05 feet

Cable 1/.044 (11 A) = 2449 feet

Increasing after 5% , total Cable 7/.044 (34 A) needed = 2571.45 feet

To connect all the device with earth total earthing cable needed = 2805.6 feet

So, the total wire needed to complete this C.T.S wiring = 5611.2 feet

Apart from this,

we need Coaxial cable (for Dis-line) = 40 feet

we need twisted pair cable (for ISP-line) = 12 feet

 Cost Estimation:
Cost for Wire:-
• For the size of 1/.044 wire approximately 2571.45 feet wire needed. So the cost will be about =(2571.45 *3.5) ≅
9000 taka

• For the size of 3/.029 wire approximately 127.05 feet wire needed. So the cost will be about=(127.05*11) ≅ 1400
taka

• For the size of 7/.044 wire approximately 107.1 feet wire needed. So the cost will be about=(107.1*40) ≅ 4284 taka

• For the size of 1/.044 (green color as earthing) wire approximately 2805.6 feet wire needed. So the cost will be
about=(2805.6 *3.5) ≅ 9820 taka

• For Coaxial cable 40 feet wire needed. So the cost will be about=(5*40) ≅ 200 taka

• For twisted pair 40 feet wire needed. So the cost will be about=(12*10) ≅ 120 taka

So, the total cost of wire is about=(9000+1400+4284+9820+200+120) taka = 24824 taka

Cost for Conduit:-

And for conduit the cost is about=(1460*11) = 16060 taka

Total Cost = 24824 taka + 16060 taka = 40884 taka
