Temporary BESCOM Connection - 2 KW - 3 Phase - 56 days

[sudheerhundi]

Dear Members,

The electrical contractor has quoted this for temporary BESCOM connection - 2 KW - 3 Phase - 56 days.

Total quote is - Rs 26000

Is this cost justified for 2KW - 3 Phase - 56 days temporary connection.

When requested for cost breakdown he gave something like this.

AEE - BESCOM - DD - Rs 11700 - Bill
3 Phase meter - Rs 4200 - Bill and reused for final connection
Bribe and Charges - Rs 3500 - No Bill
Legrand RCCB 4 Pole 40MA - Rs 2000 - No Bill but will be reused for final connection
Rest electrical items - Rs 4000 - No Bill but needed (2 rolls of best aluminum wire costs about 1800)

Regards,
Sudheer

@vpbs_bak,

I recently got 3Phase 3KVA temp connection for 56 days. My charges were slightly higher but your quote seems OK.

[sudheerhundi]

@vpbs_bak,

Yes got the connection within a week.

Apart from the total cost that you have mentioned, check if any additional charges (With ELCB/Wires/Switchboard/Switches/sockets) are needed for installing in your site.

Get full final quote end to end from your electrical contractor who gave you the quote.

Charges are same across the board. Ensure that you get a good RCCB/ELCB as its mandatory for the temporary connection.

Thanks sudheerhundi . What is a good RCCB/ELCB ? Any specific brand ?

@sahu.mgse: you have no 'service charge' from the guy who is doing this for you ? also any 'unofficial' BESCOM charges ?

office expenses include unofficial charges. BTW, connection yet to be done. as in any work some surprises will be there in the end.

Btw, I was told you need to have the borewell registered & show the proof to get the temp connection. I believe if they see a 2KVA or 3KVA requirement they assume you have borewell..? Dunno how else they can find unless one discloses.

Hi Sudheer & all,

My temporary BESCOM connection has been converted to permanent connection via UG cables. I got "used Aluminum wire" about 200+ ft. Send PM if anyone needs it.
