Terms:
Modular (Electrical) Wiring
A preassembled electrical cabling system, using pre-terminated electrical
cables usually made up into looms or wiring harnesses to provide the electrical
distribution system for all mains small power, lighting and appliances.
Multi-Purpose Riser
Multiple service vertical distribution module, constructed from primed or
galvanized mild steel and incorporating appropriate building services which
may or may not be insulated.
These modules can be connected offsite, but are often transported in 7.5m
lengths to avoid transportation problems.
The majority of the electrical risers are manufactured using a mesh or ladder
system to allow easy distribution at floor levels in various directions.
While the base structure may offer a level of standardization the dimensions
and carrying capacity will vary from between projects.

GRID
MODULAR COORDINATION
A module can be defined as a basic dimension which could for example form the
basis of a planning grid in terms of multiples and submultiples of the standard
module.
TYPICAL MODULAR COORDINATED PLANNING GRID:
Let M = the standard module

Structural Grid
used to locate structural components such as beams and columns.
Planning Grid
based on any convenient modular multiple for regulating space requirements such
as rooms.
Controlling Grid
based on any convenient modular multiple for location of internal walls, partitions
dc.
Basic Module Grid
used for detail location of components and fittings.
All the above grids, being based on a basic module, are contained one within the
other and are therefore interrelated.
These grids can be used in both the horizontal and vertical planes thus forming a
three dimensional grid system.
If a first preference numerical value is given to M dimensional coordination is
established.
DIMENSIONAL COORDINATION
The practical aims of this concept are to :
1. Size components so as to avoid the wasteful process of cutting and fitting on
site

coordination".
Major dimensions (e.g., grid lines on plans, distances between wall centers or
surfaces, widths of shelves and kitchen components) are multiples of 100 mm,
i.e. one decimetre.
This size is called the "basic module" and represented by the letter M.
For larger dimensions, preference is given to multiples of the modules 12 M (=
1.2 m), 15 M (= 1.5 m), 30 M (= 3 m), and 60 M (= 6 m). For smaller
dimensions, the submodular increments 50 mm or 25 mm are used.
Dimensions chosen this way can easily be divided by a large number of
factors without ending up with millimetre fractions.
