Electrical installation design for low voltage system (Kg Wai laboratory)

Abstract

This Final Year Project is proposed to design a reliable low voltage electrical installation system for Kg. Wai Laboratory. This was a software base project, AutoCAD software was the only software used for electrical drawing for this building. The load calculation, sizing cable, main switchboard and power factor correction board design is considered in the design of low voltage electrical installation system. This design was referred based on the IEE Wiring Regulation 17th Edition, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Regulation, Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) standard and some code of practices. Regulations are optimization tools to ensure secure and efficient operation of the electric power system. Design standards and regulation are fixed for every project but design requirements to suit architecture layout differs for various type of projects. The best distribution system is the one that supply adequate electric service to both present and future probable loads effectively and safely, often the key to the success of a power system design starts with a thorough understanding of the owner’s needs.
