ELECTRICAL DESIGN ANALYSIS

This Electrical power distribution system design is governed by various codes and standard (PEC 2017, ANSI, NEMA

and IEC. The design of electrical system aims to satisfy the multiple realistic constraints. The electrical system shall be

economical, safe, environmental, maintainable, sustainable and reliable. In order to satisfy these constraints, there are

provisions from different codes and standards that are adopted in the design. The engineering software’s like AutoCAD,

Revit & Sketchup are used in order to improve the design of lighting layout, power layout and the shop drawing of lighting

fixture, panelboard and enclosed circuit breaker details, cable ladder, meter center, grounding system layout, and electrical

single line diagram.

Load Characteristics

The electric power distribution system in a building exists solely to serve the loads- the electrical utilization devices. The

power distribution system should accomplish that assignment safely and economically, provide sufficient reliability to

adequately satisfy the requirements of the building (and its users), and incorporate sufficient flexibility to accommodate

changing loads during the life of the building. In this design, the IEEE 241-1990: IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric

Power Systems in Commercial Building intended to provide typical load data and a suggested method for determining

individual and total connected and total demand load characteristics of a commercial building.

Full load current calculation

In Load current calculation, the designers determined the classification of the circuit according to its phase. Upon

determining this classification of the circuit, We are able to design the number of conductors to be used in a circuit and can

choose the best size of the conductor under the provision of PEC 2017 Table PEC 2017 Table 3.10.2.6(B)(16) Ampacities

for Conductor rated 0-2000 Volts: Adjustment Factors: More than three Current Carrying Conductors in a raceway, PEC

2017 Table 2.50.6.13 - Minimum Size Equipment Grounding Conductor, which depends upon the total load calculated for

each circuit.

I = ; Single Phase

I = ; Three Phase
√

I = I ∗ 125%

Size of overcurrent protective device

The sizing of overcurrent protective device is based from PEC 2017 Table 2.40.1.6(A) Standard ampere rating; fuses and

fixed trip circuit breaker and PEC 2017 section 210.20(a) Overcurrent protection- continuous and non-continuous load.

The branch-circuit overcurrent protection device must be sized not less than 125%

The Feeder-circuit overcurrent protection device must be sized not less than 125%

I =I + 1.25I

I = I ∗ 125%

Size of Overcurrent protective device and size of conductor for Motor & Equipment Load

The technique in sizing the conductors and overcurrent protection for motor loads is different from the non-motor loads. In

contrast with non-motor loads, motor loads have two levels of protection; thermal overload protection and fault protection. In

case of overloading of motors, the thermal overload relay will be able to sense the limiting temperature of the overload

current that triggers the relay to cut-off the circuit. In case of fault, the overcurrent protective devices will automatically cut-

off the circuit providing its proper sizing of Ampere Interrupting Capacity. (AIC).

According to PEC 2017 Section 4.30.2.2 Single Motor. Conductors that supply a single motor used in a continuous duty

application shall have an ampacity of not less than 125 percent of the motor’s full-load current rating, as determined by

4.30.1.6(a)(1), or not less than spacified in 4.30.2.2(A) through (G). And based from PEC 2017 Table 4.30.4.2 Inverse time

Delay circuit breaker shall have an ampacity of maximum 250% of motor full load current rating.

I = 125% x I

I = 250% x I

Selection of conduit size

The selection of conduit size is determined by the number of conductors that it contains based from PEC 2017 Table C1:

Maximum Number of Conductors and Fixture Conductors in Electrical Metallic Tubing, PEC 2017 Table C10: Maximum

Number of Conductors and Fixture Conductors in Rigid PVC conduit, schedule 40 and HDPE conduit and PEC 2017 Table

C4 (A): Maximum Number of Compact Conductors in Intermediate Metal Conduit (based on table 9.1.1.1)

Voltage Drop and Voltage Regulation

The calculation of voltage drop and voltage regulation of the electrical design is based on the measurement of the length of

the conductors at the architectural layouts and the impedances of the conductor is determined by its corresponding

resistance and reactances that refered to PEC 2017 Table 10.1.1.9 Alternating-Current Resistance and Reactance for 600-

Volt Cables, Phase-60Hz, 75°C - Three Single Conductors in a Conduit.

The formula for the voltage drop is length times the impedance with a multiplier factor of 1.732 which is obtained because

the system is wye connected. The impedance depends upon the type of circuit per 1000ft constant value, different nominal

voltage are used as a divisor in these computation with respect to the number of its phase. The calculations made for the

voltage drop and voltage regulation is referred in PEC 2017, Voltage Drop Calculation.

The following provisions of the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) are stated below PEC 2009 Article 2.10.2.2 FPN No. 4

Conductors for branch circuits as defined in Article 1.0, sized to prevent a voltage drop exceeding 3 percent at the farthest

outlet of power, heating, and lighting loads, or combinations of such loads, and where the maximum total voltage drop on

both feeders and branch circuits to the farthest outlet does not exceed 5 percent, provide reasonable efficiency of operation.

the maximum total voltage drop on both feeders and branch circuits to the farthest outlet does not exceed 5 percent, provide

reasonable efficiency of operation.

Fault Analysis

A significant part of the preparation for a short-circuit current calculation is establishing the impedance of each circuit

element and converting impedances to be consistent with each other for combination in series and parallel. Sources of

impedance values for circuit elements are nameplates, handbooks, manufacturers’ catalogs, Two established consistent

forms for expressing impedances are ohms and per unit (per unit differs from percent by a factor of 100). Individual equipment

impedances are often given in percent, which makes comparisons easy, but percent impedances are rarely used without

conversion in system calculations. In this chapter, the per unit form of impedance is used because it is more convenient than

the ohmic form when the system contains several voltage levels. Impedances expressed as per unit on a defined base can

be combined directly, regardless of how many voltage levels exist from source to fault. To obtain this convenience, the base

voltage at each voltage level must be related according to the turns ratios of the interconnecting transformers. In the per-unit

system, there are four base quantities: base apparent power in volt-amperes, base voltage, base current ,and base

impedance. The relationship of base, per unit, and actual quantities is as follows:

actual quantity
per unit quantity (voltage, current, etc) =
base quantity

Usually a convenient value is selected for base apparent power in volt-amperes, and a base

voltage at one level is selected to match the transformer rated voltage at that level. Base volt-

ages at other levels are then established by transformer turns ratios. Base current and base

impedance at each level are then obtained by standard relationships. The following formulas

apply to three-phase systems, where the base voltage is the line-to-line voltage in volts or

kilovolts and the base apparent power is the three-phase apparent power in kilo-voltamperes or

mega-voltamperes:

base kVA (1000)

base current (amperes) =
√3 (base V)

10
 (base V) (1000)
base impedance (ohms) =
(base MVA)

Impedances of individual power system elements are usually obtained in forms that require conversion to the related bases

for a per-unit calculation. Cable impedances are generally expressed in ohms. Converting to per unit using the indicated

relationships leads to the following simplified formulas, where the per-unit impedance is Zpu:

actual impedance in ohms (base MVA)

Z =
(base kV)

Transformer impedances are in percent of self-cooled transformer ratings in kilo-voltamperes and are converted using the

following:

percent impedance (base kVA)

Z =
kVA rating (100)

Motor reactance may be obtained from tables providing per unit reactances on element ratings in kilovolt amperes and are

converted using the following:

per unit reactance(base kVA)

X =
kVA rating
