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.
