    The document discusses the components and purpose of an electrical plan. An electrical plan is a type of technical drawing that visually represents electrical circuits and systems using symbols and lines. It shows the positioning of all electrical equipment. Key components of an electrical plan include lighting layout plans, power layout plans, load schedules, and single line diagrams. Lighting layout plans depict the lighting fixtures and switch locations while power layout plans show power outlets. Load schedules estimate power consumption. Single line diagrams trace the wiring from the service entrance to the panelboard and branch circuits.

    CHAPTER 3

    ELECTRICAL PLAN

    ELECTRICAL PLAN - is a type of technical drawing


    that delivers visual representation and describes
    circuits and electrical systems. It consists of electrical
    symbols and lines that showcase the engineer's
    electrical design to its clients. In short, an electrical
    plan describes the position of all the electrical
    apparatus.

    An electrical drawing may include all of these essential


    details described below:

    • Interconnection of electrical wires and other


    parts of the system
    • Connection of different components and
    fixtures to the system
    • Power lines with details such as size, voltage,
    rating, and capacity
    • Power transformers and also their winding
    connections
    • The main switches, tiebreaker, and fused
    switches
    • Other essential equipment such as solar panels,
    batteries, generators, air conditioning, and so on.

    ELECTRICAL PLAN COMPONENTS:

    GENRAL NOTES - written on the plans or submitted on


    separate standard size sheets shall show: Nature of
    electrical service, including number of phases, number of
    wires, voltage and frequency; Type of wiring; Service
    entrance.

    LIGHTING LAYOUT PLAN - This electrical floor plan


    sample shows the lighting and switch layout.
    "In building wiring, a light switch is a switch, most
    commonly used to operate electric lights, permanently
    connected equipment, or electrical outlets. Portable lamps
    such as table lamps will have a light switch mounted on
    the socket, base, or in-line with the cord. Manually
    operated on/ off switches may be substituted by remote
    control switches, or light dimmers that allow controlling
    the brightness of lamps as well as turning them on or off.
    Light switches are also found in flashlights and
    automobiles and other vehicles."

    POWER LAYOUT PLAN - his electrical floor plan sample shows the Power socket outlet layout.
    "The term plug is in general and technical use in all forms of English, common alternatives being power
    plug, electric plug, and (in the UK) plug top. The normal technical term (in both British and International
    English) for an AC power socket is socket-outlet, but in non-technical common use a number of other

    terms are used. In British English the general term is socket, but there are numerous common alternatives,
    including power point, plug socket, wall socket, and wall plug. In American English receptacle and outlet
    are common, sometimes with qualifiers such as wall outlet, electrical outlet and electrical receptacle, all
    of these sometimes to be found in the same document. A socket may be surrounded by a decorati ve and/
    or protective cover called a wall plate, face plate, outlet cover, socket cover, or wall cover. In some designs
    this is an integral piece with the socket itself, bought and installed as a single unit."

    LOAD SCHEDULE - Is an estimated electric power consumption list that is sub-summarized by a circuit,
    sub-facility (sub-station), and whole plant (main-substation). An electric power consumption is measured
    in W (watt) or kW, and kVA kVAR).

    SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM - is among the drawings required to be shown in the electric plans of proposed
    buildings to be constructed. This diagram traces the route of the wirings - starting from the service entrance
    cap to the watt-hour Meter - then to the Lighting and power panelboard (Lpp) which houses the Main
    Circuit Breaker. The electric power getting into the Lpp is then farmed out to the different branch circuits
    which provide the energy for lighting fixtures, appliances, electrical tools, etc., for the building. The
    specifications for wires, ampere ratings of the Main and Branch Circuit Breakers which control the power
    supplied to each branch circuit are also indicated on the Single Line Diagram.
