Study basic electrical principles and their application to electrical equipment, circuits, and systems used in commercial and residential buildings. Topics include elements of DC and AC circuits and simplified calculations, grounding, power and power factor, instruments, and fuses and circuit breakers.

Building on <i>Electrical Systems Design I</i>, this course analyzes the various design elements that make up building electrical systems. Topics include branch circuits, conduit and wire, motor circuits and overcurrent protection, feeder design, voltage drop calculations, transformers, lighting and lighting calculations, and grounding.

A continuation of <i>Electrical Systems Design II</i>, this course focuses on additional design elements of greater complexity. Topics include service entrance layouts, switchboards, grounding, ground-fault protection, standby emergency systems, short circuit protection, and service load calculations.

The elements of electrical design discussed in <i>Electrical Systems Design I, II,</i> and <i>III</i> are examined within a high-rise office building setting. Design teams are established to develop a final set of working drawings. Particular attention is paid to the development of the service entrance, single line, and light and power riser diagrams.

Learn about the main design features of power distribution systems for various types of sophisticated buildings. Power disturbances and solutions, standby generation systems, uninterruptible power system operation and applications, grounding techniques, and ground-fault protection are also covered.
