    The document discusses different types of locations for electrical installations including damp, wet, dry, and hazardous locations. It defines hazardous locations as those where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases, vapors, or liquids. The document also summarizes rules for electric circuits in buildings, including that a building should have only one service except in specific cases such as for fire pumps or emergency systems. It provides requirements for overhead service drop conductors including having sufficient ampacity and minimum size conductors as well as maintaining proper clearances above roofs and from the ground.

    Summary:

    ELECTRIC CIRCUITS IN BUILDING


    No. of Service:
    A building or other structure served shall be supplied by only one service.
    EXCEPTIONS:

    1. For fire pump where a separate service is required.

    2. For emergency electrical system where a separate service is required.

    3. Multiple-Occupancy building

    4. Capacity Requirements. Two or more services shall be permitted:


    a) Where the capacity requirements are in excess of 2,000 amperes at a supply voltage of 600
    volts or less;
    b) Where the load requirements of a single-phase installation are greater than the serving
    agency normally supplies through one service; or
    5. Building of Large Area ( 10,000 m2 or more Total Area ).
    6. For different voltage characteristics, such as for different voltage, frequencies, or phases, or for
    different uses, such as for different rate schedules.
    THE OVERHEAD SERVICE-DROP CONDUCTOR

    a. Size and Rating


     General. Service drop shall have sufficient ampacity to carry the load without a temperature rise
    detrimental to the covering or insulation of the conductors and shall have adequate mechanical strength.

     Minimum Size. The conductors shall not be smaller than 8 mm2 copper, 14 mm2 aluminum or copper-clad
    aluminum.

    b. Clearances
     Above Roofs. Conductors shall have a vertical clearance of not less than 2,500 mm from the roof surface.

     Vertical Clearance from Ground.
