Session 4 - Electrical Layout

The document discusses the process of preparing electrical plans which includes laying out the lighting and power, creating a riser diagram, schedule of loads, and computations. It explains how to compute the electrical loads for lighting outlets, convenience outlets, and size of the service entrance. The computations involve determining the number of outlets, total current load, appropriate wire and conduit size based on tables, and fuse or breaker size after applying an 80% demand factor as required by code.
