What is electrical design? The design of an electrical system for any building or outdoor area is a matter of an arrangement of conductors and equipment to safely and effectively transfer electric energy from a source of power to lamps, motors, and other functional devices which operate on electricity. Four Vital Requirements of an electrical design 1. Ensure conformity to applicable codes and standards. 2. Study and establish the electrical needs of the building. 3. Determine the characteristics of the energy supply to the overall system. 4. Scale details of the overall electrical system to meet the limitations of budgeted funds. Three basic steps in the design of an electrical system 1. Select basic wiring concepts and configurations which will supply electric power of the required characteristics at each point of utilization. Three basic steps in the design of an electrical system 3. Account for the installation of the overall electric system, as determined in the first two steps, within the physical dimensions and structural make-up of the building, showing as clearly as possible, the locations and details of equipment mountings, raceway runs, connections to main power supply lines, and other elements that require special attention. Three basic steps in the design of an electrical system 2. Implement the electrical circuiting concepts with actual conductors, apparatus, and hardware, selecting types, sizes, models, characteristics, appearance, ratings, and other specifics of the required equipment. Approach in the design task 1. Should be familiar with all the background factors of the design. 2. In depth engineering ability. 3. Understand the relationship between the pure technology and such considerations such as 1. safe application 2. capacity for load growth 3. flexibility in the use of the system 4. and effective layout Approach in the design task 4. Must be correlated with modern standards New techniques Promising trends Combination of old and new wiring techniques Devise original circuits and layouts for new or special applications
Safety is not automatically made a characteristic of a system by simply observing codes. Safety must be designed into the system. Safety Provisions PEC (Philippine Electrical Code) and NEC (National Electrical Code)
Used in court litigation Insurance companies as a basis for insuring buildings
Safety Provisions PEC (Philippine Electrical Code) and NEC (National Electrical Code)
Must be thoroughly understood by electric designers. Familiarity with all its sections and should know the accepted interpretations which have been given to many of its ruling Electric designers must keep abreast of the official interpretations, and interim amendments Must be in hand and should be studied often.
Safety Provisions OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) ..\references\OSHA-at-a-glance.pdf ..\references\OSHA electrical safety for masonry works.ppt
Safety Provisions IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)
The International Electrotechnical Commission is the leading global organization that publishes consensus-based International Standards and manages conformity assessment systems for electric and electronic products, systems and services, collectively known as electrotechnology.
IEC publications serve as a basis for national standardization and as references when drafting international tenders and contracts.
