How not to get an extra work monthly once

Today, outside my home office window, I noticed that a construction building made two mistakes related to the meterbox.

So I opened my Electrical Work Guide to check if I mentioned that point or not…

When I searched, I noticed one point had already been added, but no images had been added, and another point had not been added. Now that also mentioned.

I went back to my second building, took a photo of the mistake they made, and added it to the document in the 5.53 section (redownload again to see updated content).

By the way, this is not their first building.

They recently built one beautiful house on the same road with great care. However, as soon as they entered the house, they sold the building within a few months.

That building not even completed 1 year.

I already written about it earlier. If you are interested in learning more, please visit this article.

Whatever mistake they make now will cause extra work for them monthly once they enter the house this time.

By this, I can conclude that just having construction experience is not enough to identify mistakes. We need to have an extra eye and thinking knowledge.

One way you can improve your ability to identify such mistakes is by reading the guides that I have written.

It’s not an encyclopedia.

It’s a simple guide with straightforward concepts shared with images wherever applicable.

How busbar helped in solving low voltage issue

When we were staying at the rental property, one incident happened. I explain that real incident so you can understand one useful benefit of having a Busbar in the meter box.

I have my own online business. I was not going anywhere for job. I was just working from my home with my PC and internet connection.

Everything went smoothly until one day, my computer UPS started beeping.

Customer questions about the electrical system

Got the below question from one of our All-Access Pass Customer:


Hi Arun,

First of all thank you very much for sharing your experience and lessons learned in house construction. I am benefiting a lot after going through your articles.

I am planning to construct a house in Kochi, Kerala. Two floor house for own use. I have a couple of questions about the electrical system.

1. Is Busbar required for home use?

I think you used it because you have different houses for rental. Am I correct ?

2. You have used two electricity meters. May I know why? (Outdoor meter and 3 phase meter)

Regards,
Kishore
