Introduction

➢ Power system broadly comprises of generation, transmission and distribution,

whereas electrical system design involves distribution of electrical energy
from the metering point down to the last point or equipment of a building,
which is connected to the supply system.
➢ Electrical system design deals from the point of commencement of supply
from the utility grid to a premise/ building

Two important aspects of electrical system design are:

• To assure proper functioning of the installation for the use intended by the
designer
• To provide safety to persons, livestock and property against dangers and
damages that may arise in the use of electrical installations

Role of Acts in Electrical system Design

Act: A legal document confiding the result of deliberations of a committee,

TRACE KTU
society or legislative body
Statutes: An Act passed by a legislative body
Rule: In context to an act, rules define the guidelines that must be followed for
the successful implementation of the act.
An act is an official copy of a statute or regulation that is initially presented in
the form of a bill and after being verified it is passed in the process of a legislature

THE ELECTRICITY ACT, 2003

The electricity supply industry in our country was governed by 4 major
acts
1. The Indian Electricity Act , 1910
2. The Electricity Supply Act , 1948
3. The Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998
4. The Indian Electricity Act 2003
The Indian Electricity Act, 1910
➢ Created Basic framework for the development of electric supply
industry in India
➢ This Act aimed to growth of the electricity industry through private
licenses
➢ It created major frame work for laying down of conductors and other
work related to supplying electricity

The Electricity supply Act, 1948

➢ Mandated the creation of state Electricity boards with the responsibility
of making available the electricity in the respective states
➢ The responsibility was handed over to the State Electricity Boards and
they undertook rapid expansion programme by utilizing plan funds
➢ However there was gradual deterioration in the performance of state
electricity boards. They were unable to take decision on tariff in a professional

and independent manner
➢ To address these issues, The Electricity Regulatory Commission act was
enacted by the parliament in 1998

The Electricity Regulatory Commission Act 1998

➢ The Electricity Regulatory Commission act was enacted by the
parliament in 1998 with a provision through which the state governments can
create State electricity Regulatory Commissions
➢ Accordingly many states have created State Electricity Regulatory
Commissions
The main objectives were:
• Replacing existing laws while preserving the core features
• Introducing new concepts like power trading, open access
• To prevent the requirement of each SEB’s to pass their own act
• Give SEBs to develop their own power sector
• Include progressive features and endeavors

❖ The Indian Electricity Act, 2003 seeks to replace Indian Electricity Act 1910,
The Electricity Supply Act 1948, and The Electricity Regulatory Commission
Act 1998
❖ It is an act implemented by the parliament to consolidate the laws relating to
generation, transmission, distribution, trading and use of electricity and aims
at
• Promoting measures to the development of electricity industry.

SAFETY ASPECTS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN

Two important aspects of electrical system design are:
❖ To provide proper functioning of the installation for the use
intended by the designer
 ❖ To provide safety to persons, livestock and property against
dangers and damages that may arise in the use of electrical
installations
Two major risks exposed to end users by every electrical installations
❖ Electric shock current

❖ Very high temperature due to sparking which causes burns, fires

etc.
When there is a current flow through the human body, the electric current
itself is the source of danger which has a negative effect when it passes through
the body
Protective measures incorporated in the system
1. Protection against direct contact
➢ Prevent persons and livestock coming in direct contact with live parts
of the installation
➢ This is achieved by preventing a current from passing through the

TRACE KTU
body of any person/livestock or by limiting the magnitude of the current
passing through the body to a value lower than the perceptible shock
current
2. Protection against indirect contact
➢ Protected against dangers from contact with exposed conductive parts
of the electrical installations
➢ Protection against indirect contact can be achieved by
o Preventing fault current from passing through the body of any
person/livestock
o Limiting the magnitude of the fault current which can pass
through the body to a low value
o By automatic disconnection of the supply
3. Protection against thermal effects
➢ No risk of ignition of flammable material due to high temperature of
conductive parts or due to an electric arc
 ➢ During normal operation there shall be no risk of persons suffering
from burns due to thermal effects
4. Protection against over current
➢ Automatic disconnection of the supply in the event of an overcurrent
before it reaches a dangerous value taking into account its duration
➢ By limiting maximum value of overcurrent to a safe value and
duration
5. Protection against fault currents
➢ Faults are likely to occur in an electric systems

➢ All parts intended to carry fault current shall be capable of carrying

the fault current without reaching excessive temperature levels
6. Protection against over/under voltage
➢ Causes of overvoltage- lightning, switching or faults between live
parts etc
➢ These ,ay damage the insulation of various equipments and insulation

ELECTRIC/BUILDING SERVICES & IT’S CLASSIFICATIONS

• Those aspects of building design that make the building worthy of its
purpose for which they are designed are called building services
• Main classifications- Major building services and Minor building
services
• Major building services- those services which require high amount of
electricity
• Major building services are:
o Lighting and ventilation
 o Air-conditioning
o Lifts and escalators
• Minor building services- those require less amount of electricity
• Types and number of minor building services depend on type and
occupancy of building
• Minor building services are:
o Electric audio systems
o Electric call bell systems
o Electric clock systems
o Fire alarm systems
o Closed circuit TV systems
o Cable TV network
o Data networking intercom etc.
• Lighting and ventilation services are absolute requirements of any type

TRACE KTU
of buildings
• During day time sufficient amount of natural light and ventilation
should be made available inside buildings
• National Building Code (NBC) gives extensive guidelines in the
orientation of the building
1. Design aspects of lighting services
Good lighting is an absolute necessity and has 3 primary aims
• To promote the work and other activities carried out within the building
• To promote the safety of the people using the building
• To create in conjunction with the structure and decoration, a pleasing
environment
Design aspects of good lighting scheme
• Careful planning of the brightness and color pattern within the work
space
• Controlling direct and indirect glare
 • Minimizing flicker and paying attention to color rendering properties of
light sources
• Installing emergency lighting systems
Good lighting is also the process of providing the right quantity of light at
the right quality. The quantity of lighting or the level of illumination depends
on the following factors.
➢ Adequacy for preventing both strain in seeing and liability to accidents
due to poor visibility
➢ Adequacy for realizing visual comfort

➢ Adequacy for performance of the task at high efficiency

➢ Adequacy for pleasantness

The recommended levels of illumination are specified in IS 3646.
Therefore we can see that good lighting design will involve
➢ Planning the brightness pattern from the point of view of visual
performance, safety and amenity

TRACE KTU
➢ Creating form and texture in the task area and the surroundings

➢ Controlling glare, flicker and stroboscopic effects

➢ Selecting the right kind of light sources to provide correct color

rendering
➢ Maintaining right level differences in lighting to prevent accidents

➢ Providing emergency lighting services

➢ Including effective maintenance and easy installation features

➢ Assuring effective energy conservation

2. Design aspects of ventilation
➢ Provides required quantity of fresh air to improve the general
environment of the building
➢ Proper ventilation means creation of an environment that stimulates
the people to higher efficiency levels
Important considerations for ventilation
 ➢ To provide fresh air for respiration

➢ To remove the products of combustion

➢ To dilute the air inside to prevent vitiation of body odour

➢ To maintain the heat balance of human body

Ventilation can be arranged in any one of the following methods
➢ Natural supply and natural exhaust of air
o Natural wind enters through the building and sweeps through the
building providing required level of ventilation
o Orientation of the building and proper positioning of the doors,
windows and ventilators ensure satisfactory level of illumination
➢ Natural supply and mechanical exhaust of air
O system of ventilation for forced exhausting of polluted air
( kitchen, utility room, bathroom etc.) is introduced
o The suction created by the exhaust fan pulls fresh air through the

TRACE KTU
openings and provides fair circulation of the fresh air
➢ Mechanical supply and natural exhaust of air
o Conventional ventilating systems use circulating fans to provide
the required level of ventilation
o Circulating fans include ceiling fans, table fans, wall fans,
pedestal fans etc
o These fans create an air movement that makes people inside the
building more comfortable
o Ceiling fans are considered to be most effective of all these fans
as they effectively circulate the air
➢ Mechanical supply and mechanical exhaust of air
o Controlled air flow with a level of purity
o Balanced air flow is obtained by the use of two fans, one for
supply of fresh air and another for exhausting the polluted/stale air
o Eg. Textile mills, pharmaceutical industry, medical facility etc
 IS 3362: Code of practice for natural ventilation for residential buildings
