1 1) I feel ______ that we will finish electrical design today. A.Happy B.Sad C.Indifferent D.I didn’t know we were studying electrical design

3 Branch Circuit Design Handout for Panel B (~Panel D in other example) How to determine size of breaker? 125% increase in ampacity (safety) Allows for longer conductor length Some breakers have are for more than one leg (i.e. higher voltage equipment) How to determine size of conductor? Same as earlier work – use breaker amperage

4 2)What does MLO imply? A.The panel is a main panel that feeds other panels. B.The panel requires a main circuit breaker. C.The panel is probably in a residential building. D.The panel is probably in a commercial building. E.The panel is used for higher voltage loads.

5 3) If the panel has aluminum feeders? A.It won’t meet the NEC. B.The feeders will be smaller than if it had copper feeders. C.The feeders will be larger than if it had copper feeders. D.The panel is probably in a commercial building.

7 4) Why are neutral totals not the sum of the power on each leg? A.You don’t need to include the 125% sizing factor when sizing the neutral B.Not all of the current goes through the neutral C.Not all duplex outlets/lighting will be used at the same time

8 Other Panels Examples in text for other panels Review guidelines for branch circuits (I won’t ask memory questions?)

9 Conduits for Branch Circuits Types AC or MC flexible armored conduit EMT rigid (thin wall) ½ to 4 inches IMC/Rigid (thick wall) Unless otherwise indicated can use conduit for grounding Install conductors for all phases and neutral in same conduit Can’t mix wiring (communications, etc.) in conduits Can’t use conduits smaller than 1 inch and no more than 9 conductors in a conduit

10 Procedure 1.Analyze building needs 2.Determine electrical loads 3.Select electrical systems 4.Coordinate with other design decisions 5.Prepare plans and specifications

11 Lighting in Text Chapter 1 – Introduction / lighting design terms Chapter 2 – Photometrics Chapter 3 – Lighting technology Chapter 4 – Lighting design issues Chapter 5 – Daylighting Chapter 6 – Design examples (non-numeric) Chapter 7 – Design examples (numeric)

12 Lighting Describe why lighting is important Describe motivations for lighting Calculate basic lighting terms Photometrics List differences between fluorescent and incandescent lamps IES Handbook

13 Source: DOE

14 Motivation Lighting represents a third of commercial building energy use Lighting has been measured to influence: Worker productivity Retail sales Mood/emotion/comfort Accident avoidance/safety

15 5) Which lamp will give off more light? A.100 W incandescent > 85 W halogen > 14 W CFL B.14 W CFL > 85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent C.85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL D.100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL > 85 W halogen

16 6) Which lamp will draw the most power A.100 W incandescent > 85 W halogen > 14 W CFL B.14 W CFL > 85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent C.85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL D.100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL > 85 W halogen

17 7) Which lamp will be the hottest? A.100 W incandescent > 85 W halogen > 14 W CFL B.14 W CFL > 85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent C.85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL D.100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL > 85 W halogen

18 8) Which lamp will be the most efficient? A.100 W incandescent > 85 W halogen > 14 W CFL B.14 W CFL > 85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent C.85 W halogen > 100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL D.100 W incandescent > 14 W CFL > 85 W halogen

19 Other questions Will the 14 W compact fluorescent draw more than 14 W because of the ballast? What is the power factor of each lamp?

20 Homework 2 By completing this assignment, you should be able to: 1)Design residential electrical systems Locate input data on appliances/devices 2)Size commercial electrical panels and electrical systems 3)Differentiate lighting efficiency and efficacy
