This module is designed to provide prospective students with the ability to apply the principles and practices of advanced electrical services engineering/distribution design to modern buildings.
Indicative syllabus covered in the module and / or in its discrete elements
Quantify and analyse fault currents under various short circuit conditions
Identify the need for isolated supplies and isolated earthing systems be aware of the safety implications of such systems
Identify suitable Lightning protection systems
Size and specify Power factor correction systems and how they are interfaced
Recognize power quality issues and what causes them, what issues arise from them and how are they controlled / minimised
Produce a single line (schematic) diagram that integrates the results of the above activities, this may include additional features such as backup /parallel generation and surge protection
Learning and teaching methodologies will comprise lectures (2 hours weekly), computer laboratory sessions (2 hours weekly) and assignments.
Lectures will address the principles and practices of electrical services distribution design, distribution theory and associated manual calculations.
The emphasis in laboratory sessions will be on the application of electrical services design software.
Assignments will be both manual based (Lecture) and software based (Laboratory).
