ELECTRICAL DESIGN GUIDELINE STEPS Maria C. Gonzalez
ELECTRICAL DESIGN STEPS 1.What equipment do you want to install? 2. How do we install it? –Power requirements: conductor size –Communications requirements 3. Cost
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
ELECTRICAL PLAN
POWER REQUIREMENTS STEPS: 1. Find the total load in Watts for the electrical equipment you want to install. 2. Calculate the current 3. Calculate the conductor size
POWER REQUIREMENTS CALCULATIONS: 1. Total Wattage 2. Calculate the current knowing the total wattage W:
CONDUCTOR SIZE Using Ohm’s Law, find R Resistance per unit length km = voltage drop is 5% of 120V or 6 v D; distance in Km from PG&E pole to service cabinet
