Learning Material Code: BU2W6
Module Title : Building Electrical System
Learning Objectives:
At the end module you should be able to:
Understand the light & power outlet layout design.
Understand the basic process of computing electrical
loads.
EXAMPLE:
A PROPOSED TWO-STOREY RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING
ELECTRICAL DRAWINGS
GROUND FLOOR POWER LAYOUT PLAN
SECOND FLOOR POWER LAYOUT PLAN
Watt= I2 x R

By Ohms law:

Where:
V = IR
R=V
I
Since W = I2 R ; W = I2 V ; W = I V
I
or W = V l
TO COMPUTE THE CURRENT (I) : I = W
V
W is in Watts
R is in Ohms
I in Amperes
V In Volts
single-phase VS. three-phase Power Supply

Residential homes are usually served by a single-phase

power supply, while commercial and industrial facilities
usually use a three-phase supply. One key difference
between single-phase vs. three-phase is that a three-phase
power supply better accommodates higher loads. Single-
phase power supplies are most commonly used when
typical loads are lighting or heating, rather than large
electric motors.
Formative Assessment:
iii.In the floor plans prepared; draw, sketch and layout
the power/convenience outlets location.
iv. In the reflected ceiling plans prepared; draw, sketch
and layout the lights location.
v. Prepare a circuitry connection/diagram of the
Electrical (Light & Power) Plans.
vi. Electrical Load Schedule
Prepare and compute the electrical loads base on the
Electrical plans prepared.
