PRINCIPAL, H.O.D. AND ALL THE FACULTY MEMBERS
WHO HAS HELPED US TO DO THIS PROJECT.
 INTRODUCTION

Since the end of the nineteenth century virtually all buildings are
provided with electric lightings installation for use at night. With the
advent of fluorescent lamp that is compatible with daylight, cheap to
run and not emitting heat gain in buildings, it made possible to install
electric lighting supplementing day light and in extreme cases
provide the only source of light in a windowless environment.

Several factors can exercise a critical influence on the success of

lighting installations apart from proper level of illumination on the
work plane.

The first use of electric supply were established in 1882 by Thomas

Edison, Thereafter there have been constant effort throughout the
world to set-up power stations for more than one purposes.

The power generation in India in 1947-48 was only 4.1 billion and
today we generate more than 600 billion KW.
 ELECTRICITY

Electricity is generated from the stored energy of water that makes turbine
run and generate electricity. The other method includes fuels (Coal, diesel or
gas) to fire boilers and pass stream and generate electricity through
generators. Transformer step up several Thousands or even hundreds of
thousands of volts before it is supplied to the transmission lines or cable. By
transmitting electricity at high voltages less power is lost in the cables. At the
receiving end of voltage is stepped down by transforms in local sub-stations to
consumers at 240 volts.
 GENERATION
SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR OR ALTERNATOR:

A synchronous generator is an ac machine in which the rotor moves at a speed

which bears a constant relationship to the frequency of current, in the
armature winding.

The synchronous machine consist essentially of two parts namely the armature
(or stator) and the field magnet system (or rotor).

The field system of the alternator is rotated within the armature ring and is
known as rotor. The exciting current is supplied to the rotor through two slip
rings and brushes. The polarities of the field produced in alternately north (N)
and south (S). The power rating of the exciter is ordinarily 0.5% to 10% of
power rating of synchronous generator. The voltage rating of the exciter is
usually between125 to 250 volt.

Recently, brushless excitation system has been developed in which a 3-phase

ac exciter and a group of rectifiers supply to the alternator. Hence, brushes,
slip-rings and commutators are eliminated.

PRODUCTION OF SINUSOIDAL ALTERNATING EMF:

When the rotor is rotated by means of some prime mover, the armature
conductors cut the magnetic-flux; therefore, an EMF is induced in the
armature conductor, due to electro-magnetic induction effect.
 ENTRY IN THE BUILDINGS
In Urban areas electrical cables are usually underground and are brought up to
entry point at ground level or into basement service cable cannot be bent to
small radii and this should be borne in mind when considering point of entry.
In small buildings the cable run is kept as short as possible, terminating in a
distribution board at the first convenient position. In these buildings the
distribution board will be fitted with a seal box to prevent moisture from
entering the insulation of the service cable, a main fuse for the premises in a
box sealed by the supply authority and the consumer unit or other switch and
fuse gear belonging to the building. The position chosen for the distribution
board should be readily accessible both for meter reading and for replacing
fuses. In some cases special glasses are provided so that meter can be read
without entering the premises.
 DOMESTIC SUPPLY

Domestic electricity supply usually effected through distribution system and

describe as single and three phases. Normally small buildings are supplied
with electricity by two wires, one phase wire and the other neutral. This is
known as single phase supply and gives a voltage for the premises of 240 volts.
The loading of the supply wiring is balanced between the phases by using the
phases in rotation so that each one services every third building.

In three phases, four wires bring 420/ 240 volts, 50 cycles per second. The
voltage between any two of the phases wires is 415 Volts. And between any
phase wire and the neutral is 240 volts. The balancing of load is then achieved
by serving different areas of the building by different phases. Electric motors
are usually designed for three phase operation.

Single and Three Phases Distribution

 EARTHING SYSTEM
In electricity supply systems, an earthing system or grounding system is
circuitry which connects parts of the electric circuit with the ground, thus
defining the electric potential of the conductors relative to the Earth's
conductive surface

Regulations for earthing system vary considerably among countries and among
different parts of electric systems. Most low voltage systems connect one
supply conductor to the earth (ground).

People use an earthing system mainly for these applications:

To protect a structure from lightning stroke directing the lightning through the
earthing system and into the ground rod rather than passing through the
structure.

Part of the safety system of mains electricity, preventing problems associated

with floating ground and sky voltage.

The most common ground plane for large monopole antenna and some other
kinds of radio antenna.

Applications Of Earthing:

• Protect human against lightning and earth fault condition

• Protect the premises against lightning and earth fault condition

• Provide low resistance and safe path for lightning and fault current

• All metallic enclosure and extraneous conductive parts are at equipotential

• LV System Earth
FUNCTIONS OF EARTHING

Equipment Earth : Path for fault current, lower touch voltage, protection
against electric shock

Lighting Earth : Low resistance path to diverse the current under lightning
attack.

Telecom Earth : Signal Earth, reduce noise and interference, stabilize DC

supply voltage and prevent electric shock

Computer Earth : reduce interference, maintain supply voltages

Two classes of protection
Class I protection –

Use of barrier/insulation and connection of protective conductor to

equipment metallic enclosure in order to protect against electric shock

Class II protection –

Beside of the basic insulation, addition layer of insulation apply to the

enclosure. Therefore there have no extraneous conductive part. The additional
layer is independent to the basic insulation so that under failure of basic
insulation, it offers additional protection
TYPES OF EARTHING
• Supply System – Neutral Earth

• System Earth

• Electrical Safety Earth

• Lightning Earth

• Generator Earth

• Protection Earth (i.e. surge arrestor)

• Telecom / Computer Earth

• Shielding Earth

• Integrated Earthling System (Advocated)

• Electrostatic Earth (Clean Room / Hospital)

 DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS
In most of the buildings electricity supply is divided into two types of sub
circuit: Lighting Load sub-circuit and power load Sub Circuit and finally for
operation purpose into three phases circuit-lighting, socket outlets and fixed
apparatus.

The sub circuit which gives supply to lighting load points is called lighting load
sub circuit. This circuit includes lamps, fans, tubes etc. As per Indian Electricity
Rules. The following rating should be assumed

• Filament lamp 20 W

• Ceiling fan 100 W

• Socket for radio, table fan 60 W

• Fluorescent tube 40 W

• Mercury vapor lamp 80 W

 ELECTRICAL WIRING SYSTEM

There are several wiring system in use. Each system of wiring has its own
particular advantage. No one system is suitable for all installations. Great care
must, therefore, be taken in the section of the system which depends upon the
following:

a) Working voltages.
b) Atmosphere.
c) Class of building or size of installation.

The energy is usually supplied by the electric supply co., which brings the
service main to the building in the energy meter.
System of wiring:
a) Tree system
b) Distribution system

Tree system: In this system branch circuit are tapped from the circuit main at
convenient places. There are many joints and often fault occurs which is very
difficult to locate. This system is not used for installation purpose.

Distribution system: In this system mains are taken to one or more

distribution centers and connected to the distribution boards. From those
distribution boards connections to the branch circuits are taken. In his system
no joints are required each circuit can be readily disconnected from the main
without interfering with other circuits. This system is now-a-days widely used
for indoor wiring in buildings.
 BASIC WIRING SYSTEMS

Wiring in buildings is run either on the surface or canceled in the

construction. Surface wiring is cheaper but its appearance limits its
use. The types of wiring system available for use in buildings is
sheathed and conduit. Two or more wires consisting of metal
conductors each having its own insulation is enclosed in a protective
sheath known as TRSC tough rubber sheathed.

Use of PVC for insulation and sheathing is preferred as it gives

smoother and neater cables. This types of wire are well suited to
surface use. For use in concealed wiring, conduit or metal channels
should provide to protect wiring.
TYPES OF WIRING

There is wide choice of wiring; however one must keep in mind the safety of
men & material. The various types of wiring used are discussed below

Cleat Wiring:
In this system of wiring, V.I.R or PVC Insulated wires are held to the walls and
ceiling by means of porcelain cleats which are fixed at distance of 0.5 m
horizontally and 0.75 m vertically above the walls The cleat are made on two
halves, one is known as base and the other is known as cap. The wirings are
drawn in groves and finally tightened. This wiring is cheapest and requires little
skill and can be quickly installed.

Wooden Casing, Capping Wire:

In this type of wiring, the casing is fitted on the walls and ceilings on the
wooden gutties which are fixed the size of casing and capping generally used is
20 mm x 12 mm for house wiring. This type of wiring is generally used for
house wiring. It is cheaper as compared to lead sheathed and conduit wiring,
easy to Installed.

Lead Casing Wire:

In this system of wiring, the wiring procedure is same except the wire used in
VIR covered with an outer sheath made of lead-aluminum alloy. It is used in
houses and industrial wiring. It has good mechanical protection and possibility
of fire is less.
C.T.S & T.R.S or PVC wire:
In this system of wiring first of all teaks wood is fitted on the walls and ceiling.
The batten is tightened by drawing wooden screws in the gutties fitted in the
wall a ceiling. PVC or CTS wire run on the batten and finally grappled by the
joint clip. This type of wiring is suitable for domestic installations, commercial
& Industrial buildings except where it is liable to mechanical injury.

Conduit Wiring:
In this type of wiring system VIR or PVC are carried through steel or PVC tubes
as conduit in case of surface conduit wiring, the conduit is fitted on the surface
of the walls by means of saddles and in case of concealed conduit wiring the
conduit to facilitate the drawing of wires
DUCTS FOR ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION
In addition to the wiring systems there are a number of ducts available
specially designed to contain electric cables in particular building stations

Duct tube: It consists of an inflatable rubber tube, which is placed, in concrete

formwork before pouring concrete. After the concrete has set the duct tube is
deflated, withdrawn from concrete, leaving a duct for electric wiring, or other
purpose.

Skirting trucking: It is very usual to run cable trunking in or above the skirting
round the perimeter walls. This system is mostly employed in office buildings.

Floor Trucking: System is employed in large offices where desks are placed
remote from walls. Useful where there are comparatively few points, the
positions of which are known, and where flexibility for future re-planning must
be achieved.

Overhead distribution

Overhead distribution systems are clearly more economical and more flexible
than under floor ones. They are mainly used in industrial units when pendants
connection to apparatus is not considered unsightly.
 CONDUCTOR
A cable is a length of single conductor, usually having several wires stranded
to-gather, or of two or more conductors, each provide with its own insulation
and laid up to-gather. The insulated conductor (s) may or may not be provided
with an overall protective covering. The conductor with its insulation but
without mechanical protection is called core of the cable. Thus a, cable consists
of three parts:

a) Conductor,
b) Insulation
c) External Protection

There are four best conductors which can be used for conducting electrical
energy. They are:

Silver, Copper, Aluminum, Iron.

Aluminum: the electrical conductivity of its approx 60% that of copper. It is

mostly used for all purpose like over-head lines, underground cables and house
wiring cables.
 INSULATIONS

On the basis of insulations, the cables maybe classified as follows: (i) Paper
Insulated cables. In these cables paper is wound on the conductor in successive
layer to archive required dielectric strength. Such cables are manufactured in
various sizes from 5 mm2 to 500 mm2 cross-section conductors and voltage
rating sup to 33 KV

(ii)PVC cables

(iii) Oil filled insulated cables

(iv)High Pressure of filled cables

(v) Compressed gas insulated cables

(vi) Vulcanized cable

 EXTERNAL PROTECTION

Against mechanical damage or electrochemical attack, fire or any other

deterious influences external to the cables can be minimized. If certain points
are taken in account

Abrupt bending in cables is not desirable; the bending radius ranges from 12
to 30, times the diameter.

Cables should be at least 1 m away from the foundation of the buildings.

Cables should be at least 0.5 m away from the communication cables

Whenever a cable crosses a road or railway line, it should be laid in pipes or

conduits.
 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
There are many ways in which electricity can be used to save labour in the
home. A vast number of appliances are designed to run on the ordinary
domestic supply. The three basic application of electricity are – the production
of heat, light and power and in many devices they are used in combination.
Electronic appliances such as radio and television sets, and record players
constitute a fourth class and telephone a fifth.

All the electrical appliances requiring a current of more than 5 A should be

fitted with an earth or ground wire to safe guard the user against shocks from
leakages of current. Their supply cables thus carry three-pin plugs, and in the
best type of socket no current can flow until the earth-pin can be made its
contact.

There are four main ways in which electricity can be converted into light

It can flow through a wire, so that it glows (lamps), modern filament lamps use
coil of tungsten wire which gives a much whiter light than carbon, and the bulb
contains nitrogen and argon. Most household bulbs are 25 to 150 watt of
electric power, but some large tungsten lamps used in search lights a in
television studios use as much as 30 KW.

Discharge lamps are long tubes containing a gas or vapour. When electricity
passes through a pure gas at low pressure, energy is transferred to the gas
atoms, causing them to emit radiations. The wavelength of this radiation,
which determines color, depends on the gas e.g., sodium vapor and neon emit
visible radiation. Sodium produces an efficient yellow light, mercury produces
a bluish white light and some ultra-violet radiations, and neon gives off a
strong red light.
FLUORESCENT LAMPS

Works by the conduction of electricity through mercury vapour. This causes

the emission of ultra-violet radiation. The inside of the tube is coated with a
fluorescent powder, or phosphor. This glows with a visible light when it is
struck by invisible ultra-violet rays. The light is usually white, but it can be
colored by adjusting composition of the phosphor. Sometimes, instead of
tubes, flat panels of glass may be used as light sources. Some phosphors, such
as zinc sulphide, emit light when a voltage is applied across them. This is
known as electro luminescence.

A carbon lamp consists basically of two carbon rods connected to an electricity

supply. An electric arc is maintained between the rods and a very intense light
is produced in this way from a compact source, such lamps are used in motion
picture projectors.
 ELECTRIC INSTALLATIONS
Electric Installations require necessary design, planning taking into
consideration the whole requirement of the activities to be carried out in the
building. The following steps are suggested for the same.

Planning & Designing

• Layout of working drawings

• Application to electric supply company for granting estimated low supply

and requirement of sub-stations/ transformers

• Laying conduit for underground supply lines before concreting and

completing the plinth work.

• Laying conduits in slabs and beam reinforcement, fixing of fan hooks/

boxes in slabs reinforcement for main supply to consumer units/ rooms

• Physical marking of layout of wiring in all units/ rooms.

• Providing & laying complete wiring

• Fixing all fittings and fixtures and complete electrical installations

• Testing of Installations

• Providing consumer meters.

• Submission of test reports to electric supply company for supply

connection after obtaining NOC from PWD in cases of building exceeds
15m height.

• Checking of electrical installation by authorized officer of electrical

supply company before passing & sealing of meters.

• Permanent electric supply connection to buildings and consumer

thereof.
 DESIGN & PLANNING
The design and planning of an electrical Installation is governed by the type of
user of the building and requirement of the consumer thereof. Therefore it is
essential to consult competent electrical engineer/ licensed electrical
contractor at the planning stage for providing and planning electrical
installations, which should be safe and efficient in its use and adequate for its
intended purpose. For designing layout of electrical installations for specific
requirement of power use it is essential at planning stage that the architect in
consultation with structural engineer, electrical engineer and owner/developer
to decide about following.

Needed accommodation for making provision of sub-station, meter room,

switch room, services cable duct, rising mains and cables, opening and chases
required in floors and walls for intending electrical installations.

• Total load requirement i.e. lights, fans, power etc.

• Anticipated future increase in power consumption. Requirement of

electric supply company including location and distance of main supply
connection point.

• Layout of wiring installation, whether open conduit or concealed

• After collecting necessary information and suggestions from other

consultants the architect should prepare detailed working drawing of
 complete electrical installation in consultation with licensed electrical
contractor

EXECUTION
The execution of entire electrical Installation should be carried out under the
guidance and supervision of competent electrical engineer/through licensed
electrical contractor; in accordance to the design and specification provided in
the tender and strictly as per rules and regulations of electrical supply.

The electrical contractor should decide his sequence of work in consultation

with the architect in such a manner that it will not affect/conflict with working
of other agencies and it will allow other service agencies to work smoothly and
simultaneously without any interruption.

The electrical contractor should get approval for all materials including fitting
and fixtures to be used from the architect before commencement of work.

The contractor should arrange temporary electrical supply for construction

purpose; before proper work is commenced.

The end of work the electrical contractor should check and test the entire
electrical installation work and get it approved from the electrical supply
company.

The electrical contractor should submit his test report and completion
certificate in required forms for consumer meter and permanent electric
supply connections to the buildings.
Electric Services for Multi-storied Buildings
• The electrical distribution cables wiring should be laid in a separate duct.
The duct should be sealed at every alternate floor with non-combustible
materials having the same fire resistance as that of the duct.

• Water mains, telephone lines, intercom lines, gas pipe lines should be
laid in the duct of cables

• Separate circuits for water pumps, lifts, staircase and corridor lighting
and blower for the pressurize system should be provided from the main
switch gear panel.

• The inspection panel doors and any other openings in the shaft should
be provided with air tight fire doors having a fire resistance of not less
than two hours.

• Medium and low voltage wiring running in shafts, and within false
ceilings, should run in metal conduits.

• An independent and well ventilated service room should be provided on

the ground floor.

• PVC cables should have an additional sheathing or protection provided

by compound sprayed on after installation
Staircase & Corridor lighting
• The following provisions have been recommended under the
development control regulations.

• The staircase and corridor lighting should be on separate circuit and

should be independently connected so that they could be operated by
one switch installations.

• Stair case and corridor lighting should also be connected to alternate

supply as defined in sub regulation.

• Emergency lights should be provided in the staircase/Corridor for multi-

storied special buildings.

Alternate Source of Electric Supply

A stand-by electric generator should be installed to supply power to staircase

and corridor lighting circuits, fire lifts, the standby fire pumps, smoke
extraction & damper systems in case of failure of normal electric supply.

The generator should be capable of taking starting current offal machines and
circuit s stated above simultaneously. If the stand-by pump is driven by diesel
engine. The generator supply needs not to be connected to the standby pump.
 DISTRIBUTION BOARD

A distribution board (also known as panel-board or breaker panel) is a

component of an electricity supply system which divides an electrical power
feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker
for each circuit in a common enclosure.
 TRANSFORMER
A transformer can accept energy at one voltage and deliver it at another
voltage. This permits electrical energy to be generated at relatively low
voltages and transmitted at high voltages and low currents, thus reducing line
losses and voltage drop.
Location of Transformer
Location of the transformer is very important as far as distribution loss is
concerned. Transformer receives HT voltage from the grid and steps it down to
the required voltage.

Transformers should be placed close to the load centre, considering other

features like optimization needs for centralized control, operational flexibility
etc. This will bring down the distribution loss in cables.

Types of Transformers

Transformers are classified as two categories: power transformers and

distribution transformers.

• Power transformers are used in transmission network of higher voltages,

deployed for step-up and step down transformer application (400 kV,
200 kV, 110 kV, 66 kV, 33kV)

• Distribution transformers are used for lower voltage distribution

networks as a means to end user connectivity. (11kV, 6.6 kV,3.3 kV,
440V, 230V)

 According to the phase – Single-phase & Three-phase.

 According to the voltage – step up & step down.

To measure large values of current and voltage, ‘Current Transformers’ and

‘Potential Transformers’ are used. They are also used to energized trip coils,
relays and other protective gears. It’s are called as ‘CTs’ & ‘PTs’.
Distribution transformers are mainly used for small sub-stations. Owing to low
iron loss, the distribution transformers have good all-day efficiency. These
transformers should have a good voltage regulation.

SUB-STATION
Substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission,
and distribution system, where voltage is transformed from high to low, or
low to high, or many other important functions.

Electric power may flow through several substations between generating

plant and consumer, and may be changed in voltage in several steps.

Mainly Sub-station is defined as “The assembly of apparatus used to

same some characteristics (e.g. Voltage, AC to DC, P.F. , Frequency etc.) of
electric supply is called Substation.”

the electricity sector through a new paradigm. The act seeks to create liberal
framework of development for the power sector by distancing government
from regulations.

The objectives of the act are to consolidate the laws relating to generation,
distribution trading and use of electricity and generally for taking measures
conductive to development of electricity to all areas, nationalization of
electricity tariff, ensuring transparent policies regarding subsidies, promotion
of efficient and environmentally benign policies, constitution of Central
Electricity Authority, Regulatory Commissions and established of Appeallate
Tribunal and for matter connected thereafter or incidental thereto”.

The salient features of this act

• The central Govt. to prepare a National Electricity Policy in Consultation

with State Govt.
• Thrust to complete the rural electrification and provide for management
of rural distribution by Panchayats, Cooperative Societies, non-
government organizations, franchises etc.
• Provision for license free generation and distribution in the rural areas.
 • Provision for private licenses in transmission and entry in distribution
through an independent network.
• The state Electricity Regulatory Commission is a mandatory requirement.
• Metering of all electricity supplied made mandatory.
• Provisions relating to theft of electricity made more stringent.
• Provisions safeguarding consumer interests.
