Electrical Power System Design

Basic Design consideration:  The power supply system shall be designed to provide safe, economical operation and ensure the safety Of equipment and persons. The power of the system should be economic, reliable, long service life, and panels should be simple in operation and maintenance. The following factors shall be taken into consideration while designing the Electrical system:


 Safety: Personnel safety, the efficiency of operation 

and precaution of equipment are the most vital factors

 to be  considered while designing the electrical

 system.                  

      Reliability: Reliability of electrical supply is essential for continuous operation. The electrical system shall be designed so that faults can be isolated with minimum disturbance to the system as well as a short time.  

       Easy operation: Simplicity of operation is a very important factor in achieving a safe and reliable electrical system. The operation should be as simple as possible to meet the requirement

V  Voltage Fluctuation: Voltage shall be maintained within the equipment tolerance limit under all load condition in order to enhance the service life of electrical equipment.

 

Flexibility: Flexibility of the electrical system means the adaptability to meet the various requirement. utilization voltage, Equipment rating, space for additional equipment, capacity for         increased load, spare capacity for future load.  

Installation: Power installation shall be designed to give enough power, easy control of electrical devices. Materials, components, accessories used for installation shall be of identical type. 

Maintenance: The electrical system shall be designed to allow easy maintenance without major interruption and disturbance of users. 

Equipment: All equipment and materials selected shall be well-known manufacture, spare parts are available,  manufactures are according to local and international standard.

 Cost: Cost should be economical on the basis of initial, running, and maintenance purposes.

Method of installation - Transformer

The installation  method of complete electrical works is an important factor while designing  electrical works. It defines how to execute the whole electrical works  To finalized the installation, it requires coordination with other services like civil  Architecture, Air-Condition, mechanical and plumbing works. Light fitting fixing  method, arrangement depends on the basis of False ceiling type, whether it is  recessed or suspended type or ceiling mounted or latch to ceiling or wall.   Cables may be laid underground or in a cable tray suspended from the ceiling.  The transformer  is the static device that transfer a.c energy from one level to  Another level at the same frequency and power factor through electromagnetic  induction. Transformers are used in  transmission and distribution system.  in consumer premises to step up and step down voltage. Power transformers  are used to get various voltage (415 volts) in Su...
