ELECTRICAL WORKS

A. GENERAL

The general requirements outlined in these specifications apply to all


electrical work, even if not explicitly mentioned in this section. All electrical
installations must comply with the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC), local
power company standards, and regulations set by the local enforcement
authority. A registered electrical engineer must oversee the work to ensure
safety and compliance. Additionally, all materials used must be new and
suitable for their intended purpose and location. Proper grounding must also
be in place for all lighting and power circuits to ensure a safe and reliable
electrical system.

B. SCOPE OF WORK

The electrical work includes providing all necessary labor, materials,


equipment, and facilities to complete the installation. All work must follow
the latest edition of the Philippine Electrical Code, which is an integral part of
the contract. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure full compliance
with these requirements as part of the contract, without any additional
payment.

C. PRINCIPAL MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT TO BE FURNISHED BY THE


CONTRACTOR

MATERIAL:
1. LIGHTING FIXTURE
2. SWITCHES
3. WIRES
4. PANEL BOARDS

SPECIFICATIONS

All electrical components must meet the specifications outlined in the plan.
Outlets, switches, and other fixtures should be of superior quality, rated at
15 Amps/240 Volts or as specified. The sizes and dimensions must strictly
follow the details provided in the approved plans to ensure proper installation
and functionality.
D. EXECUTION AND INSTALLATION WORKS

All work under this contract must follow the latest edition of the Philippine
Electrical Code, the rules and regulations set by the Bureau of Labor and
Standards, and the requirements of the local utility company. These
specifications and drawings must not conflict with any national or local laws
governing electrical installations. If any discrepancies arise, the applicable
laws and ordinances will take precedence. It is the contractor’s responsibility
to ensure full compliance with all these regulations.

1. GUARANTEE

The contractor must ensure that the electrical system is free from grounding
issues and defects due to poor workmanship. This guarantee will remain in
effect for one year from the date the work is accepted. If any issues arise
within this period, the contractor is responsible for fixing them at their own
expense.

E. WORKMANSHIP

The work must be carried out with the highest quality and attention to detail,
under the supervision of the owner or their representative. They will have the
authority to interpret the drawings and specifications and ensure
compliance. If any work or materials do not meet the required standards,
they have the right to reject them.

1. STANDARD OF MATERIALS

All materials used must be brand new and meet the standards set by
Underwriter Laboratories, Inc., IEEE, NEMA, and the Philippine Standard
Agency (PSA), wherever applicable. Every material must comply with the
project specifications, and any unspecified materials should be of the highest
quality available for their intended purpose.

2. GROUND TEST

The entire electrical installation must be free from improper grounding and
short circuits. Testing should be conducted in the presence of the owner or
their representative to ensure compliance. Each panel must be tested with
the mains connected to the feeder and branches, all switches closed, fixtures
installed and permanently connected, and lamps removed or omitted from
sockets. Additionally, each power feeder should be tested with the connected
equipment to verify proper operation. The resistance must meet or exceed
the minimum requirements set by electrical regulations. Any failures must be
corrected to the satisfaction of the owner or their representative.

3. PERFORMANCE TEST

The contractor is responsible for testing the entire electrical system to


ensure it functions properly. This includes power and lighting, as well as low-
voltage, alarm, control, signal, and communication systems. If the system
requires a specific sequence of operation, the contractor must verify that
everything runs in the correct order. All tests must confirm that the system is
in good working condition and meet the approval of the owner or their
representative.

4. COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

The contractor must regularly clear away waste and debris throughout the
project and ensure a thorough cleanup upon completion. All moving or
mechanical parts should be serviced and adjusted for smooth, quiet, and
efficient operation. Any scratched or damaged primer or galvanizing must be
touched up, leaving everything clean and prepared for any required finishing
work.

5. TRADE/BRAND NAMES

The mention of specific trade or brand names for equipment is meant to


establish a standard level of quality and clarity in the design, not to restrict
the use of other brands. Alternative products that offer equal or superior
performance, functionality, reliability, and durability are also acceptable.

F. LIGHTING SYSTEM

The lighting system must be fully installed as outlined in the plans. If any
necessary components or materials are missing but are typically required
for a complete lighting system, they must be included as part of the work.
Each lighting outlet should have a standard 100mm deep octagonal or
square box, flush with concrete or plaster walls and ceilings, except for
exposed installations. The contractor is responsible for supplying and
installing all specified lighting fixtures, ensuring they are fully wired and
operational. This includes lamps, tubes, transformers, ballasts, supports,
canopies, globes, and any other necessary components for a complete
and functional installation.

1. RELAMPING

The contractor is responsible for providing and installing all lamps for the
entire lighting system. Any lamps that break or burn out before the owner’s
final acceptance of the work must be replaced by the contractor at no
additional cost.

2. SWITCHES

Wall switches should be of high quality, rated at 15 amperes and 240 volts,
and can be either one-way or three-way, depending on the requirement.
They should be tumbler or snap-on type and must meet standard quality
specifications or be approved by the owner or their representative. For
surface-mounted installations, switches should be placed in FS-type conduit
fittings with appropriate covers. They must operate without arcing and
should be mounted at a height of 1400mm from the finished floor.

3. RECEPTACLES

Receptacle outlets should be flush-mounted, duplex type, rated at 20


amperes and 240 volts, and made of high-quality materials that meet
standard requirements or have owner approval. The engineer will select the
type and color of outlet plates, and samples must be submitted for approval
before purchasing. Weatherproof outlets should also meet the same high-
quality standards. Unless otherwise specified in the plan, wall receptacles
should be installed at a height of 300mm from the finished floor.

4. OUTLET AND SWITCH BOXES


All electrical outlets, regardless of type or system, must have appropriate
outlet boxes or fittings designed for the specific devices they will hold. Outlet
boxes should be made of PVC, and those in damp or wet areas must be
moisture-resistant and properly sealed to prevent water accumulation. In
walls or ceilings made of wood, concrete, or similar materials, boxes and
covers should be flush with the finished surface. The number of wires and
devices within each box must comply with electrical codes. If needed, flush
square outlet boxes should include extension rings or raised cover plates. All
boxes must be securely fastened, either directly to a structural element or
with approved metal braces, and embedded in concrete or masonry where
required. Only deep outlet boxes, at least 54mm in depth, should be used,
and they should be octagonal, square, or rectangular in shape.
