Advanced Electrical System Design for Buildings

Advanced Electrical System Design for Buildings
Electrical and Electronics Engineering

To help the learners to understand the advanced concepts on how to approach various building related electrical system designs in line with current industrial practices and material availability in the market

About the Course

When entering a mall, a hospital, or any commercial building, have you ever wondered how the electrical system would be designed to give you the hassle-free experience of maintaining the ambient temperature and lighting, your smooth movement across different floors, the signage indicators, or the emergency backup in case of a power cut off?

This experience is made available to you with a robust, yet simple and accurately calculated electrical design done by the engineers of today. Through this course, we intend to give you an indepth knowledge in such designs.

This course covers all the major areas such as planning the layout, the outdoor and indoor aspects of electrical equipment, talks about sizing the equipment, designing the detailed electrical points, lighting, cabling, installation, testing & commissioning, operation & maintenance. Do it yourself problem statements from industry on electrical system using ETAP is also provided to the learners to get hands on experience on the subject.

Course Objective

Main objective of the course is to

  • Demonstrate the advanced concepts on how to approach various building related electrical system designs in line with current industrial practices and material availability in the market
  • Illustrate the design knowledge on calculations in design, power regulation, statutory compliance and approval
  • Develop load estimation based on area power consumption statement
  • Outline substation planning aspects, selection of equipment, development of distribution and protection scheme
  • Explain about instrument transformer for measurement and protection
  • Design and sizing of battery, design of earthing system, design of surge protection system and lighting system
Key topics
