E. Design Criteria and Principles

1. Regulatory Requirements on Spaces and Dimensions
According to Section 104 (General Building Requirement) of the National Building
Code of the Philippines,
1.1 All buildings or structures as well as accessory facilities thereto shall conform
in all respects to the principles of safe construction and must be suited to the
purpose for which they are designed.
1.2 Buildings or structures intended to be used for the manufacture and/or
production of any kind of article or product shall observe adequate
environmental safeguards.
1.3 Buildings or structures and all parts thereof as well as all facilities found therein
shall be maintained in safe, sanitary, and good working conditions.
1.4 The minimum sizes of rooms and their least horizontal dimensions shall be as
follows: 6:00 square (65 square feet) with at least nominal dimension of 2.00
meters (6 feet 7 inches) for rooms for human habitation; 3.00 square meters (32
square feet) with a least horizontal dimension of 1.50 meters (5 feet) for
kitchens; and 1.20 square meters (12 square feet) with a least horizontal
dimension of 0.90 meter (3 feet) for bathrooms
1.5 Every room intended for any use, not otherwise provided with air conditioning
or mechanical ventilation system as herein provided in this Code, shall be
provided with a window or windows whose total area of openings shall be at
least 1/10th the floor area of the room, and such shall open directly to a court,
EE 410-EE41S1: Electrical Systems and Illumination Engineering Design
yard, public way or alley, or water course.

According to Section 105 (Site Requirement) of the National Building Code of the
Philippines, the land or site upon which will be constructed any building or
structure, or any ancillary or auxiliary facility thereto, shall be sanitary, hygienic, or
safe. In the case of sites or buildings intended for use as human habitation or abode,
the same shall be at a safe distance, as determined by competent authorities, from
streams or bodies of water and/or sources of air considered to be polluted; from a
volcano or volcanic site and/or any other building considered to be a potential
source of fire or explosion.

2. Design Software
The electrical design engineer must use only related and approved electrical analysis
software. The results should be validated with a hand calculation or order of
magnitude estimate.
Spreadsheets may also be used to perform basic electrical load calculations with
programs such as Microsoft EXCEL. With regards to lighting, Dialux Evo lighting
software was not used because there were no lighting design requirements for
critical areas.
3. Calculation Design Parameters
Project calculations serve as formal documentation of the project electrical design.
They must contain sufficient description and detail to communicate the design
concept, assumptions, and judgments associated with the design. Explanatory
comments should be provided to assist reviewers and engineers who may use the
calculations in the future. Calculations tools describes electrical calculations
required for projects, tools to do the calculations, who is responsible for the
calculations, and when they should be done.

3.1 Calculations for the number of Luminaires

To determine the coefficient of utilization, use the table below from “Manual of
Practice on Efficient Lighting”, page 361. In this case, the coefficient of utilization
and maintenance factors were set to be 0.8. Then calculate the number of
luminaires using the equation below:

Where:

N = number of luminaire/s
E = required illumination level
W = width, meters
L = length, meters
Φ = light output of lamp, in lumens
T = EE 410-EE41S1:
total numberElectrical
of lamp/sSystems and Illumination Engineering Design
per luminaire
CU = coefficient of utilization
MF = maintenance factor

3.2 Room Air conditioners Calculations

3.2.1 Computation of Rating of Air Conditioner

a) In accordance with the rule of thumb in computing the cooling

capacity of the air conditioning unit, use the 600 kJ/h per m2 in the
equation shown below:

Cooling Capacity = L x W (area) x 600 kJ/h

b) After Identifying the capacity of air conditioning in item 1, visit the

website of Department of Energy on the list of a certified room air
conditioners. Choose the nearest equivalent cooling capacity
c) (at least 500 – 1000 kJ higher than computed value in item 1)
d) Identify the equivalent compressor rating of the air conditioner in item B
e) Based on the equivalent compressor rating in hp, get the equivalent
ampere rating based on table 4.30.14.2, page 370 of a PEC 2017. Note
that the value of the ampere rating will be used in the schedule of load.

3.2.2 Typical Motor Compressor Rating (hp) vis-a-vis Cooling Capacity as

Claimed by Suppliers and Distributors

Table 1: Cooling capacity with a Compressor Rating Equivalency

Cooling Capacity = L x W (area) x 600 kJ/h

Where:

L = length, meters
W = width, meters
600 = Constant Multiplier for Airconditioning System

EE 410-EE41S1: Electrical Systems and Illumination Engineering Design

F. Basic Requirements for Electrical Calculations

Below are basic requirements for electrical calculations:

1. Non-computer-generated calculations must be on standard calculation sheets with the

heading filled out.

2. Calculations generated by computer programs must conform with the following

procedures:

2.1 Include all heading information on each sheet

a. Insert comments wherever possible to clarify concepts and actions taken in
the computer input
b. Provide clear documentation of electrical geometry, support conditions, load
application, and load requirements
c. Provide electronic copy on CD or other suitable devices of analysis input and
output with hard copy calculations.
d. Provide manual checks of pertinent results (e.g. service size, main feeder
voltage drops) for computer-generated output.

3. Electrical System Load

Load calculations should be made using applicable sections of the Philippine Electrical
Code (PEC) 2017, and other sections of the PEC. The following load calculations
should generally be used for sizing:

a. Feeder conductors and protective devices

b. Transformer
c. Panelboard and switchboard main busses
d. Motor control center components
e. Service entrance devices and conductors

Load calculations must include all loads. They should be made by summing all the
loads (using appropriate diversity factors allowed by NEC Article 220) that are
connected to each panelboard, switchboard, and motor control center. An allowance
must be made for future load growth. The loads for each branch of the distribution
system can then be summed back to the service entrance equipment.

a. Lighting Load
b. Receptacle Outlet/Power Layout
c. Airconditioning Systems
d. Electric Ranges
e. Conductor Size

Table 2: PEC reference for conductor sizing

General requirements for sizing conductors once the calculated load current is
known. This is a two-step process:
3.1.1 The first step is to look at the temperature rating of the terminals and the
ampacity of the conductor that could be used at a matching temperature
rating.
3.1.2 The second step is to look at the effect of ambient temperature and
conductor derating factors on the ampacity of the conductor that results
from where and how the conductors are installed.
The insulation used to cover electrical wiring conductors is rated for the
maximum temperature it can withstand continuously. Standard ratings are
60°, 75°, 90°, and 105°C. The current-carrying capability of a conductor
is a function of table 3.10.16. See example table below;

1.1 Conduit Size

A metal or plastic pipe through which electrical wires are routed is referred to as an
electrical conduit. A conduit, which is available in rigid or flexible forms, protects wires and
is used in exposed locations (such as along the exterior surface of a wall), unfinished areas
(such as basements, crawlspaces, and attics), and surface-mounted installations outdoors.
Conduit is referred to by its "trade size," which can refer to the inner or outer diameters of
the pipe; typically, the approximate outer diameter is called "trade size." Electrical metallic
tubing (EMT), intermediate metal conduit (IMC), rigid metal conduit (RMC), flexible
metallic conduit (FMC), and polyvinyl

conduits.

60°C through 90°C, not more than Three current – carrying conductors in raceway, cable, or earth (directly
Buried), based on ambient temperature of 30°C

1.1.1 Computation of conduit size:

In determining the size of a 2-5.5 mm2 + 1 – 5.5 mm2 ground THHN
(1) We convert the mm2 to AWG that will result to 10 AWG
5.5 mm2 = 10 AWG
(2) After that we use table 4 C.9 in appendix C, page 1016 for the correct conduit sizing for 3 conductor

1.2 Demand Factor Calculation

Demand Factor is the ratio of the maximum coincident demand of a system, or part of a
system, to the total connected loads of the system. It is always change with the time to
time or hours to hours of use and it will not constant.
The connected load is always known so it will be easy to calculate the maximum
demand if the demand factor a certain supply is known at different time intervals and
seasons.
We used the rule of thumb method to calculate the demand factor; the residential
demand factor is 80%, and the demand factor for commercial establishments varies
depending on the type of loads that will be use. Typically for buildings it ranges
between 50 to 100 percent of the connected load.
1.3 Overcurrent Protection Devices
Circuit breakers and fuses are examples of overcurrent protection devices. Overcurrent
protection devices are designed to safeguard against the potentially hazardous effects of
overcurrent, such as an overload current or a short-circuit current, which generates a
fault current.
Determining the Overcurrent Protection Rating:
1. See the total computed current in design analysis
2. Look for table 2.40.1.6 in page 86.
3. Choose the standard ampere ratings.

1.4 Calculation of Voltage Drop

PEC Fine-print note No. 4 state that conductors for branch circuit as defined in article 1.1,
sized to prevent a voltage drop exceeding 3 percent at the farthest outlet of power, heating
and lighting loads, or combination of such load, and where the maximum total voltage
drop on both feeders and branch circuit to the farthest outlet does not exceed 5 percent,
provide reasonable efficiency of operation.
.
VOLTAGE DROP REQUIREMENTS

EE 410-EE41S1: Electrical Systems and Illumination Engineering Design

Note:

 The PEC state that the total voltage drop from the beginning of the feeder to the
farthest outlet on a branch circuit should not exceed 5 %.
 In the above illustration, if the voltage drop in the feeder is 3 %, then do not exceed 2
% voltage drop in the branch circuit.
 If the voltage drop in the feeder is 2 %, then do not exceed 3 % voltage drop in the branch
circuit.

Voltage Drop Formula

Single Phase Three Phase

Where:

Conductor Length / Voltage Drop

Voltage drop can be reduced by limiting the length of the conductors.

Single Phase Three Phase

Conductor Size/Voltage Drop

Increase the size of the conductor to decrease the voltage drop of the circuit (reduce its resistance)

VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION EXAMPLES

Single-Phase Voltage Drop

What is the voltage drop of a 240-volt single-phase circuit consisting of #8 THWN copper
conductors feeding a 30-ampere load that is 150 feet in length?

VD = 𝐶𝑀 =
2 𝑥 12.9 𝑥 30 𝑥 150
16 510

116,100
VD = 16,510 =7 volts

Percentage voltage drop = 7 volts / 240 volts = 0.029 = 2.9%

Voltage at load = 240 volts – 7 volts = 233 volts

Three-Phase Voltage Drop

What is the voltage drop of a 480 volt three-phase circuit consisting of 250 kcmil THWN
copper conductors that supply a 250-ampere load that is 500 feet from the source?

1.73 𝑥 𝐾 𝑥 𝐼 𝑥 𝐷
VD = 1.73 𝑥 12.9 𝑥 500 𝑥 250
𝐶𝑀 = 250 000

2 789 625
VD = 250 000 = 11 volts

Percentage voltage drop = 11 volts / 480 volts

= 0.0229
= 2.29 %

Voltage at load = 480 volts – 11 volts = 469 volts

Note: Always check ampacity tables for conductor selected

1.5 Short Circuit Calculation

The proper selection of protective devices and coordination of their trip settings is
based on short circuit calculations. The calculations required to complete a detailed
short circuit analysis are very complex and beyond the scope of this design guide. The
Industrial Power Systems Handbook by Beeman, Electrical Systems Analysis and
Design for Industrial Plants by Lazar, the IEEE Std 399-1990, and many other
references contain detailed procedures for performing short circuit analysis.
In those situations where an approximate value of short circuit current is needed for
preliminary design purposes, the following abbreviated method can be used to
estimate a very conservative value of maximum fault current. This result will exceed
the actual fault current since many small impedances are neglected to simplify the
calculations. In every situation where this method is used, a detailed calculation,
either made by hand or using an approved computer program, should be made during
the final design.

A. Short Circuit Calculation

The purpose of short circuit calculation is to know the rating the interrupting capacity
of the overcurrent protective device. In circuit breaker there are 3 important
parameters when it comes to residential design, ampere trip, ampere frame and
interrupting rating
Ampere trip – the current rating the circuit breaker set to trip
Ampere frame – insulation housing for maximum long time current available in
physical
Interrupting Rating – the highest current at rated voltage that a device is intended to
interrupt under standard test conditions.

3.5 Generator Sizing

Generator single or multi-sets must be sized to supply maximum starting (SkVA),

steady-state running (RkVA) and non-linear (GkW) demands of connected and
future electrical equipment.
Information critical to the sizing and selection of generator single or multisets
include:
a. Environmental conditions: elevation, temperature, indoor or outdoor
b. Noise abatement requirements: mufflers, enclosure, silent models
c. Fuel: diesel, gasoline, natural gas
d. Fuel storage: skid mounted tank, day and remote tank
e. Cooling: liquid-cooled radiator, forced air
f. Voltage regulation: maximum allowable voltage dips
g. Operation: prime, standby
h. Voltage ratings: voltage,3-phase, 1-phase, solid grounded, delta, wye
i. Connected loads: Linear, non-linear, power factor
j. Load operation: Motor starting methods, single step, single step with diversity,
multiple steps of loading
k. Future loads

H. Significance and importance of the subject as EE student and to be coming an EE

practitioner

MR. AUDRIC EARL CAYABYAB - The significance and importance of the subject as
an EE student and to becoming an EE practitioner is that you can apply all the knowledge
and experiences you gain in this subject in the field of Electrical Engineering. It will also
help us understand why this subject is important in the field of Electrical Engineering,
which will be helpful if we want to design lighting (Illumination) or work in any other area
related to Electrical systems.

Mr. JURI ESCARPE - As an Electrical Engineering student, the significance and

importance of this subject are to ensure the safety and proper designing of electrical plans
in residential and commercial buildings. This subject will be the foundation and also a
stepping stone for an Electrical Engineer that wants to pursue the field of designing,
considering also the PEC which is the main focus of each Electrical Engineer in becoming
an EE practitioner.

Mr. ZSYROLL MATTHEW MENDEZ - The significance and importance of this

subject EE 410 and to becoming an EE practitioner as a EE student is the knowledge we
learn from the professor and the variable resources that we will use in our future
profession. This will give us a Foundation for applying and to achieve successful projects
in our field of engineering.

I. Lesson learnt about the subject EE410 (individual answers/responses)

Mr. AUDRIC EARL CAYABYAB - In this subject, EE410, I've learned a lot about how
to calculate the proper cooling capacity of air conditioners, the size of wire and conduit that
is needed depending on the PEC, and other things. I intend to apply all the knowledge I
learn in my future job. I also learnt how to design housing units and lighting using Dialux
Software. I learned how to compute the necessary lux level for the surface and working
plane. Knowing how to utilize the Dialux Software now has made me more aware of how
beneficial these skills will be if I keep working on it.

Mr. JURI ESCARPE - As an Electrical Engineering student taking this subject EE410,
the lessons that I have learned is that when it comes to electrical planning, we electrical
engineers should be good at estimating how many lights and outlets to be placed in a
particular room since we should all be familiar with the rule of thumb taught to us by our
professor Engr. Arturo Zabala, PEE... Another lesson or knowledge that I have gathered is
the use of Dialux that I learned from our professor and speaker, Engr. Zabala, PEE and
Engr. Jack, the lessons that I was taught in Dialux gave me a new perspective when it
comes to lighting and how to design the lights in a households.

Mr. ZSYROLL MATTHEW MENDEZ - This EE410 Course will teach us how to use
standard values and computations to analyze and design a proper electrical system. This is
the fundamental knowledge that any electrical student will use in their future designs and
calculations. I also learned a lot about lighting from Engineer Arturo Zabala, such as
proper lighting and building design. This course has inspired and motivated me throughout
