done with proper couplings/adaptors.
20. A PVC Junction box of dimension 100X100X50mm and IP 68 rating shall be provided inside
Meter Cabinet and fitted with a PVC PG-7 gland. Connection of the conduit to Junction box
shall be done with proper couplings/adaptors.
21. A GI Junction box of dimension 150X150X50mm and IP 56 rating shall be installed inside the
LV room on wall at a suitable position at a height of 1600mm from finished floor level. The
connection between conduit and Junction box shall be through suitable couplings/adaptors.
22. The meter cabinet shall be fixed at standard height and the meter shall be at a height of
1000mm so that the meter can be read/repaired/removed easily without the use of ladder.
