Electrical - bolt on or plug in?

[miletjs]

Okay po ba gumamit ng plug in type na panel box? Magiging plug in din ang breakers. Sabi nila mas ok daw ang bolt on pero ang hirap humanap ng bolt on na 12 branches or more saka mas mahal din. Kung plug in ba ang gagamitin, wala bang kaso?

Saka may nakapag try na ba ng royu o akari na breakers? O talagang GE pa din ang recommended?

[orijinal]

So far ok naman ang royu & akari. Pero highly recommended talaga ang GE. Mas ok kung bolt on.

Those mini circuit breakers from ABB looks fine too. Looks presentable and you don't have to hide it for easy access.

Bumili na po kami. Plugin ang nabili namin kasi puro plugin ang readily available. Pag bolt on order-basis daw eh kailangan na namin. GE na din ang binili namin na main circuit breaker.

For the 15, 20, 30 amps breakers, d pa kami nakakabili. What's ABB?

It's a brand. German I think. It's the latest thing on circuit breakers. Maliit lang na parang light switch. Pwede ngang pang display eh. Gawa nung housing na may clear cover at it's easy to access. Say, you want a set of appliances to be turned off from the power source lalo na kung aalis kayo ng bahay. Just a flick of the micro breakers ok na. Para ka lang nag switch off ng lights. Electronics na rin and does not rely on antiquated solenoids. Pero ok na rin yan old school from GE. Ugly housing nga lang you have to cover or hide from sight.

Aww sayang ngayon ko lang nabasa reply mo. San nakakabili ng ganoon?

[cyberfunk]

Oh di ba ganda?

[orijinal]

I think may ganyan ding design ang royu and akari. I think di hamak na mas mura yun. Meron din ang Phillips. Phillips kasi nakita kong naka-install sa California Gardens Square condominium sa Mandaluyong. Di ko lang alam kung typical ba sa lahat ng units nila yun.

Nasa Php 2500 lang yan kasama na main at 6 na microbreakers.

nakakainis naman sana nakita ko muna ito bago kami bumili. Mas mura pa sa plugin

Yun panel board na 12 branches ng plugin ay 2900+ na, tapos yun main ay 800 pesos. wala pa yun 12 branches don

Meron kayang 12 branches yan? or 6 branches lang lahat? 24 branches kasi talaga ang design nun sa bahay namin. Pero dahil sobrang hirap maghanap ng 24 branches kahit plugin, sabi nun electrician pwede naman daw hatiin sa 2 panel box + main yun 24 branches. Kaya hinati sa 12, kaya 2 na din ang main namin

Yes meron mas mahaba for more braches. Yung iba ginagawa dalawang panel board na tig anim on top of each other. One panel board has the lighting and convenience outlets with a double throw switch for the gen set while the other have the special load branches like aircon, stove, ref and booster pump.

The thing with the old panel boards and breakers some people are afraid to switch it back on when it trips. Natatakot baka makuryente.
