New Electrical Design
Circuit Design
- Ensure each circuit is adequately protected with the appropriate rating of fuse or circuit breaker, preventing overload and ensuring safety.Properly label different circuits for easy identification, facilitating maintenance and troubleshooting.Pay close attention to wiring sizing and insulation to mitigate risks of overheating and short circuits.
Earthing (Grounding)
Design an effective earthing system to facilitate the safe discharge of fault currents in electrical fault scenarios.Choose appropriate materials for earthing conductors to resist corrosion and conduct regular maintenance for sustained performance.
Switchgear and Distribution Boards
Install distribution boards in accessible locations with adequate ventilation for efficient operation and maintenance.Select and size switchgear appropriately to ensure efficient control of each circuit.
Safety Devices
Incorporate RCCBs (Residual Current Circuit Breakers) and RCBOs (Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overload Protection) to safeguard against electrical shock and current leakage.Position isolation switches or emergency stop buttons in easily accessible locations for prompt operation during emergencies.
Lightning Protection
Design lightning protection systems considering potential points of entry for lightning strikes and sensitive areas.Connect lightning conductors to proper grounding and conduct regular testing to verify effectiveness.
Documentation
Maintain comprehensive documentation of electrical designs, including circuit diagrams, load calculations, and test reports.Include safety guidelines and emergency procedures in the documentation for reference during operation and maintenance.
