We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
The speaker would like to express his sincere thanks to the good Lord
Jesus Christ, IIEE state of Qatar, and Qatar General Electricity and Water
Corporation (KAHRAMAA).
Moreover, we will talk about the department of Public works and Highways,
NBC memorandum circular no. 02 with the subject Electrical Design
Analysis Philippine Electrical Code compliance.
The deliverable is this presentation itself and the group works which could
be used by fellow electrical practitioners as reference for voltage drop
technical discussions and calculations.
