Lesson 1: Draft Electrical Plans and Layouts

This lesson is designed to enhance your recognition of the different symbols, and materials used in lay-outing the power and lighting plans based on the Electrical standards.

Ampacity is current-carrying capacity expressed in amperes.

Appliance is utilization equipment generally other than industrial, normally built in standardized sizes or types, which is installed or connected as a unit to perform one or more functions such as washing clothes, air conditioning, food mixing, deep frying etc.

Branch Circuit is a portion of a wiring system extending beyond the final overcurrent device protecting the circuit.

Building is a structure which stands alone or which is cut off from adjoining structures by fire walls with all openings therein protected by approved fire doors.

Circuit breaker is a device designed to open and close a circuit by non-automatic means and to open the circuit automatically on a predetermined overload of current, without injury to itself when properly applied within its rating.

Ground is a conducting connection whether intentional or accidental between an electrical circuit or equipment and earth, or to some conducting body which serves in place of the earth.

Lighting outlet is an outlet intended for the direct connection of a lamp holder, a lightning fixture, or a pendent cord terminating in a lamp holder.

Outlet is a point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply utilization equipment.

Panel board is a single panel or group of panel units designed to be assembled. It includes buses, with or without switches and/or automatic over current protective devices for the control of light, heat or power

5

Know

circuits of small individual as well as aggregate capacity. Designed to be placed in a cabinet or cut out box in or against the wall or partition.

Parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along. Charges can move through any of several paths.

Receptacle is a contact device installed at an outlet for the connection of an attachment plug and flexible cord.

Receptacle outlet is an outlet where one or more receptacles are installed.

Parallel circuit has more than one resistor.

Series circuit a circuit in which all parts are connected end to end to provide a single path for current.

The Flow of Electricity

Electric charges can be made to flow from a source such as battery, photocell, or electric generator.

Electrical Quantities

1. Current is the movement of charged particles in a wire to a specific direction. The charged particles may be a positive ion or a negative ion. The symbol used is (A) and is named ampere. One ampere of current flows in a conductor when 6.251x1018 electrons pass a given cross section in 1 second.

2. Voltage is also known as electromotive force (emf) or potential difference. It is the electric pressure that causes current to flow. Potential difference is the potential energy divided by charge. It is the work needed to move a charged body against the electric force, toward or away from another charged body. The symbol for voltage is (V) which is joule per coulomb. There are several methods of producing an emf. The most common are by electromagnetic induction in generators and chemical reaction in batteries.

3. Resistance is the opposition to the flow of charge. The symbol for resistance is (R). The unit used to specify the amount of resistance is the ohm, represented by the symbol (Ω). All materials offer some resistance to current but the amount of resistance differs from each other. In direct

6

current (d-c) this unit is called resistance; in an alternating current (a-c) it is called impedance.

Resistance of the object depends on four factors: 1) length, 2) cross-sectional area, 3) resistivity of material and 4) temperature.

Factors that Affect Resistance

Ohm’s Law

Although the three electrical quantities: current, voltage and resistance, are used differently, they are related to each other. This relationship is known as Ohm’s Law. It is stated as, current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. It is expressed by the equation:

I= ERE=I x R R=E

I

Power and Energy

Electric power is the rate of doing electrical work. It is equal to the product of the current and voltage. The unit is watt (W) or kilowatt (kW). A kilowatt is 1,000 watts. Work is being done at the rate of “1 watt” when a constant current of 1 ampere is maintained through a resistance by an emf of 1 volt. The power input in watts to any electrical device in which the element has a resistance (R) and the current is I given by the equation,

W = I2 R but by Ohm’s Law V = IR; hence W = VI

where W is in watt, R in ohm’s , I in amperes, and v in volts.

Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC)

Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. It is produced by such sources as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also be through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric charge flows in a constant direction. A term formerly used for direct current was Galvanic current.

Alternating current (AC) is the movement (or flow) of electric charge which periodically in reverses direction. An electric charge for instance would move forward, then backward, and vice versa. In direct current (DC), the movement or flow of electric charge is only in one direction. Audio and radio signals carried on electrical wires are examples of alternating current.

Electrical Circuits

An electrical circuit is a network that has a closed loop, giving a return path for the current.

There are two types of circuits, namely series circuit and parallel circuit. A series circuit has two or more loads but current flows through a single conducting path, while a parallel circuit has more than one path for current to flow.

Series Circuit Parallel Circuit

the current is called alternating current.5. A parallel circuit has two or more loads that flow through a single

conducting path.

Electrical Diagrams and Symbols

Graphic symbols are shorthand ways of showing how a circuit works or how the parts of the circuit are connected. Electrical symbols are used to represent actual electrical components on drawings. Graphic symbols are usually drawn using single-line (one-line) diagrams, on schematic diagrams. The same is done on connection or wiring diagrams. This will give the workman the idea on how the wiring installation will be done as specified in the work plan.

Lighting

Planning for sufficient lighting involves the light, eye and the object. Whether planning lighting for a residence or for a large commercial building, the same design factors must be considered. One must consider how much light is needed, what type has the best quality and how should the light be distributed.

Electrical Fixtures

13

Know

There are three groups of light fixtures namely, ceiling fixtures, wall fixtures and portable plug-ins.

General Rules to Observe in Illumination Planning

1. The kitchen requires a high level of general lighting from ceiling fixtures. Specific lighting for all work areas includes, range, sink, tables, and counters.

2. The bathroom requires a high level of general lighting from ceiling fixtures. The mirror should have lights on two sides. The shower and water closet should have a recessed, vapor proof light.

3. The living room requires a low-level of general lighting but should have specific lighting for areas for reading, and other visual tasks. Decorative lighting can also be used.

4. The bedroom requires a low level of general lighting but should have specific lighting for reading in bed on both sides of the dressing-table mirror. The dressing area requires high level of general lighting. Children’s bedroom requires a high level of general lighting. Closets should have a fixture placed high at the front.

a. transformersb. switchboardsc. panel boardsd. large switchese. circuit breakers

3. Utilization equipment, includes lighting, motors, controls and wiring devices.

.

16

Know

Wiring

Electrical systems in buildings are usually divided into two parts: service and branch circuits.

Service parts include all the wiring and apparatus needed to bring electricity into building. Branch circuits distribute the electricity throughout the structure.

Wire used in both service and branch circuit is made of one or more strands of metal, either copper or aluminum and covered with a flexible plastic insulation. The size of the wire used in an electric circuit depends on the current to be carried by the circuit.

The Cir-Kit "concept" of electrical wiring was first developed in 1976 and is now the predominant world-wide method of dollhouse wiring and electrification. A great measure of its success can be attributed to the ease of installation and professional appearance when finished. The Cir-Kit method allows anyone, even those without electrical knowledge, to successfully construct a completely hidden and "to scale" lighting system.

Boxes and Cabinets

17

Distribution box is made from either steel or plastic, which contains a

junction between several conduits. Boxes are usually of a rectangular, octagonal,

or round form having punched or knock-out holes to fit the conduits.

Types of Boxes

1. Outlet boxes are those utilized for connection of lighting and receptacle

outlets.

2. Junction boxes are those used for junction of wires in branch and

feeder circuits.

3. Pull boxes are used for pulling of wires in branch and feeder circuits.

Rules in Planning the Electrical System

18

1. The main source of light in a room should be controlled by a wall switch located on the latch side of the room’s entrance. It should not be necessary to walk into a dark room to find the light switch.

2. Electrical outlets (except in the kitchen) should average one for every 6'(1.8m) of wall space.

3. Electrical outlets in the kitchen should average one for every 4'(1.2m) of wall space.

4. Walls between doors should have an outlet, regardless of the size of the wall space.

5. Each room should have a light outlet in the ceiling or wall that will be a major source of light for the whole room.

6. Each room should have adequate lighting for all visual tasks.7. Each room should have at least one easy-to-reach outlet for the vacuum

cleaner or other appliances that are often used.8. Not all lights in one room should be on the same circuit.9. The height of all outlets in the house should be listed on the plans.10.GFCI receptacle should be provided as outlined.

Service and Branch Requirements

Power is supplied to a building via the service drop. Three heavy wires

together are called the drop that extends from the utility pole or an underground

source to the structure.

Types of connections from an electrical pole to the building

1. Overhead Service Drop

2. Overhead pole connection with an underground service lateral to the

building

3. Connection in a manhole or hand hole at the property line with Service

Lateral to the building.

19

Circuit Protective Devices

There are two types of circuit protective devices which are commonly used:

1. Fuse. It is made of thin strip of metal used for safety because when the

current flowing through it becomes too high, it melts and breaks the flow of

electricity. It consists of an alloy link or wire of relatively low melting

temperature which when enclosed in an insulating fiber tube is called a

cartridge fuse, and when in a porcelain cup is known as plug fuse.

2. Circuit breaker. It is an electromechanical device which performs the

same protective function as a fuse and also acts as a switch. It is a

reusable device that protects a circuit from becoming overloaded

20

Switches

In electronics, a switch is an electrical component that can break an

electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to

another. The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated

electromechanical device with one or more sets of electrical contacts. Each set of

contacts can be in one of two states: either 'closed' meaning the contacts are

touching and electricity can flow between them, or 'open', meaning the contacts

are separated and non-conducting.

Switch Board and Switchgear

Switchboards and switchgear are free standing assembles of switches,

fuses, and/or circuit breakers which normally provide switching and feeder

protection to a number of circuits connected to a main source.

21

Panel Board

A panel, or panel board, serves basically the same function as a

switchboard, except on a smaller scale, that is, it accepts a relatively large block

of power and distributes it in smaller blocks. Panel boards may be classified as

flush-type or surface-type.

Process

Fire Alarm Systems

Fire Alarm System is designed to detect the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. It can be used to notify people to evacuate in the event of a fire or other emergency, to call for emergency forces aid, and to prepare the structure and associated systems to control the spread of fire and smoke.

Smoke Detectors

If you were to build a house today, smoke detectors would be required in each bedroom, on each level of the home in the vicinity of the bedrooms, including basements.

A fire sprinkler is the part of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been reached. Fire sprinklers can be automatic or open orifice.

Key Elements of the Local Building Code

Building a facility should be in accordance with the version of the Local Building Code is in effect at the time of the building permit application.

Maintaining a facility and conducting oneself should be in accordance with the provisions of the fire code, after the building is occupied. This is based on knowledge of the code by the owner and ensuring that the occupants and operators of the building are aware of the current applicable regulations.

Fire safety refers to precautions that are taken to prevent or reduce the possibility of a fire that may result in death, injury, or property damage. It alerts those in a structure of the presence of fire in the event one occurs. It also enables those threatened by fire to survive, or to reduce the damage caused by fire.

Fire safety measures include those that are planned during the construction of a building or implemented in structures that are already standing, and those that are taught to occupants of the building.

Threats to fire safety are referred to as fire hazards. A fire hazard may include a situation that increases the likelihood a fire may start or may impede escape in the event a fire occurs.
