Introduction
This course covers three main areas of the Electrical Contracting Process:
1. Basics of Electrical Works Design.
2. Shop drawing and Site Works.
3. Tendering of Electrical Projects.
The Course requires pre-knowledge of [AutoCAD].
A project naturally progresses from design to the actual building going through the
following stages:
As the previous chart suggests, the electrical design is the first step of any electrical project, this
step has two major concerns besides the basic knowledge of electrical engineering which are
basic knowledge of Electrical Safety and Economical Design.
Where the design aspect of this course covers areas like: Interior Lighting design, Socket
distribution, panel Boards design, cables selection, etc.

The second phase of the course addresses electrical site works supported with figures and videos
that introduces the student to real world experience of Sites Electrical Works and how to prepare
shop drawings for a given project.
Then the third phase, introduces the student to the basics of tendering and preparing a project bill
of quantity (B.O.Q).
At the end of this course, the student will have a head start extensive knowledge of how the
electrical contracting process works and will able to use this knowledge whenever facing an
electrical project.

Interior lighting Design
While the most important aspect of this area of design is determining the
desirable lux according to Egyptian, international codes and standards to match
your project needs, whether your project is a bank, school or even a hospital
there are some basic rules to go by while determining the lux value of a given
area.
Lumen (lm): The unit of luminous flux is a measure for the quantity of luminous energy emitted per second by a light source.
Luminous Intensity (I): Light flux irradiated through a tri dimensional angle (solid angle) directed by the magnitude of the referred angle.
L= (Q/w) Lm/Seta radians
IL luminance (Lm/M2): The quantity of incidental light falling onto a given surface per unit area of the suface taking into
consideration that, it is uniformly illuminated.
E=Q/A Lux
To have a better understanding of the role of lux in lighting designs consider the
following example:
A lamp connected to a power source, the lamp will emit many lighting lines as
shown in the figure:
The lighting lines that illuminates 1 m2 is a simple definition of Lux
Lux =
lumen/m
2

Eng.M.Tharwat 6
So if we say that an office needs 300 lux to be illuminated.
This simply means each 1 m2 requires 300 lumen.
The required lux depends on the application or usage of this area.
Some Lighting Parameters:
Colour Rendering Index (CRI): A measure of the degree to which the appearance of a surface colour under a given light source Compares to the same surface under a CIE reference source. The index has a maximum value of 100.
Colour Temperature (K): All materials emit light when heated (e.g. metal glows red through to white as the temperature Increase). The temperature to which a full radiator (or black body) would be heated to achieve the Same chromaticity (colour quality) of the light source being considered, defines the correlated colour temperature of the lamp, quoted in degrees Kelvin.
Luminance (L):
L=I/A (Cd/m2)
Luminous Efficacy (lm/W):
The ratio of light emitted, to the power consumed by a lamp.

In order to reach a satisfactory lux value for a given area, It`s required to use number of
lighting fixtures.
While the number of lighting fixture is dependent on a set of parameters which can be illustrated
in the following equation:
N =
Where:
N number of lighting fixtures. Q lumen for lighting unit. E required lux. n number of lamps per unit. A. Area of room. utilization factor.
F clearance factor.
K. Maintenance Factor [0.8].

D) Utilization factor ( ):
For a certain lux value to be reached in a given room (area) there are some
parameters that affect the quantity of lumen per lamp, those parameters are
better illustrated as follow:
1. Room index:
Where:
KrRoom index L.Room length
wRoom width Hmdistance between the lighting fixture & working
plan.
S/Hm Parameter means the ratio between Mounting Height & distance between
lighting fixtures which give us the ratio between Emin & Emax
For Example:
S/H = 1.75 which mean ratio of [Emin / Emax= 75%]
S/Hm Ratio is a given value in lighting fixture data sheet.
Hm2 Hm1
Hf
Hw
Hm1 = Ht Hw , Hm2 = Ht - (Hw + Hf)

2. Reflection factors: ( ) Depending on wall, ceiling, ground colors and materials, Reflection factor can be
determined by using the following tables:
Utilization factor can be one from the following tables by using both of Room index and
Reflection factors.
Now that we have reached this point, we know all the required parameters to get the desired
number of lighting fixtures in a specified room.

Lumen per lighting lamp:
Can be determined by the following table according to lamp type:
-
[ELECTRICAL WORKS FOR PROJECTS] 2013/2014
Eng.M.Tharwat 22
Design lighting for the following project:
L = 15 m
W = 8 m
H = 4 m
Work plan = 85 cm
The above data is for a Conference room, with a white colored ceiling, its required that you
determine the number of lighting fixtures that achieves the desired Lux.
Solution
A = L.w = 15 x 8 = 120 m2
From tables: conference room has an E = 500 lux
The owner choose fixture (E). so, lamps = 2 x 36 watt , n = 2
From application: for a clean room, F = 1.33 (clearance factor = 1.33)
From lumen table: Q = 3250 lumen
From wall and ceiling color:
Hm = Ht (Hs + Hw) lighting fixture will be on false ceiling (Hw = 0.7 m)
Hm = 4 (0.85 + 0.7) = 2.45 m Hm = 2.45 m
Kr =
Kr = 2.12

Arrangement of lighting fixture
From the previous example the required number of lighting fixtures is 24 unit, now
the question is how they can be arranged?
(4x6) or (3x8) or (12x2) or .etc
So we will arrange those as (4x6) units
As shown in the fig. below, The distance between each lighting fixture and the
other is double the distances between the lighting fixture and the wall to avoid a
blind spots.
12X = 10 x =

Control of lighting circuits
Lighting circuits can be controlled by lighting switches.
Lighting switches can be classified into:
One way, one gang.
One way, two gang.
One way, three gang.
Two ways, one gang.
Two ways, two gang.
Two ways, three gang.
The difference between one way & two way switches is that the one way switch controls the
circuit from one location. However, two way switches controls the circuit from two locations.
Two way switches used in bed rooms, corridors.etc.

2/Staggered:
This type of arrangement in which the luminaries are
located on both sides of the road in a staggered, or zigzag,
arrangement is used mainly when the width of the road is
between 1 to 1.5 times the mounting height of the
luminaries.
W=1~1.5 H
3/Opposite:
This type of arrangement, with the luminaries located on
both sides of the road opposite to one another, is used
mainly when the width of the
road is greater than 1.5 times
the mounting height of the
luminaries.

Types of lamps used in Street lighting
1- High pressure sodium lamps (Highway Streets):
It is suitable for such kinds of lighting even in cloudy weather.
2- Low pressure sodium lamps (Tunnels):
This type of lamp is used in tunnels and closed public places. They also have
relatively long life.
3- Metal halide lamps.
4- Mercury lamps (Internal Streets):
It gives a bright white light thus it could be used in illumination of open places
such as large stadiums since this type of lamps have strong glass.
Methods of switching of lamps
There are various methods, some of which are:
- Photo cell.
- Control switch.
- Timer.

Cable selection
Power cables are used to feed circuits with the required power.
So, cables selection must be according to transfer a full power to certain load, that mean the
cables must transfer the full current with no or limited voltage drop to ensure full power transfer.
Cables can be classified as following below:
Operating & Meggered Voltages 600/1000 450/750
Conductor Type Copper Aluminum
Insulation Material PVC XLPE
Number of cores Single Multi core
Armored Armored
[STA SWA] Non-
Armored
Neutral Size Reduced Neutral Non-

Eng.M.Tharwat 47
The above mentioned cable should transfer full power from
source to load, so it must stand full load current with limited
voltage drop.
To ensure carrying full load current [Derating Factors] must be
taken in consideration.
Derating factor:
Derating factors are the factors that affect cables life time
and their standing current and its dependant on cable laying
methods.
From Cables catalogue we can obtain the Derating factors

Generators and UPS In some projects, power continuity is required for many different reasons
like:
(1) Data loss as in banks
(2) Emergency as in hospitals
(3) Production quantity as in factoriesetc
So the important loads must be fed by a stand by source.
In case of power interruptions, another source will feed these loads
There are two devices that ensure power continuity:
(A) Generators
(B) UPS
Difference between Generators and UPS:
Generators are used as a standby power source with a delay time
between current interruption and continuity.
On the other hand, UPS are used as a power source without any
time delay between current interruption and current continuity.

Main power source is on:
S1 is on S2 is on S3 is off
Power interruption:
S1 is off S2 is on S3 is on
For load (5): Power continuity is needed without time delay so a UPS is
used to feed the load till the Generator starts up.
UPS is connected before load.

A controller of three switches called (ATS)
ATS panels:
Its a panel that consists of three switches one is connected to the main
source, the second one is connected to the Generator and the third one is
connected to the load through a controller Microcontroller, PLCEtc
Generator selection:
Generators are selected according to emergency loads power rating (KVA).
UPS selection:
A UPS is selected according to emergency load power rating (KVA) and discharging
time of back up batteries.
Co-ordination between Generator starting up time and backup battery discharging time is
crucial as to assure the continuity of power.
The UPS discharging time must be selected to cover the delay time between current
interruption and continuity.

Short circuit current
In case of short circuit, there is a large current value passing through protective devices.
If these protective devices fail to stand the current value, damage occurs in circuit
components which might cause fire or complete damage of the electrical system.
The power systems must be designed to stand short circuit currents for a short period of
time before the trip process takes place.
While the types of trips performed by a circuit breaker are:
Thermal trip: Responsible for protection against over load currents.
Magnetic trip: Responsible for protection against short circuit currents.
Ik is the maximum current capacity that a device stands before damaging.
Short circuit current calculations:
It = ISC + IL

Earthing systems
There are two types of ear thing systems:
(1) Function earthing
(2) Protection earthing
(1) Function earthing:
This is the earthing of neutral points.
A neutral point is connected to the earth point to get the potential of the neutral point to be zero.
(2) Protection earthing:
This is the earthing of the electrical equipment body for human protection.
Earthing system design:
The following shape shows electrical equipment having a current leakage problem while a human is
touching the equipment body.
The above circuit can be represented by:
Rh.. Human Resistance.
Re.. Earthing Resistance.
The sole purpose of any earthing system is to protect humans from (I1)
