Utility Supply

The document outlines an electrical distribution system starting from a utility supply at 11 kV, which is stepped down to 400 V using a transformer and distributed through a Main Distribution Board (MDB) to several Sub Distribution Boards (SDBs). Each SDB supplies lighting, sockets, and HVAC units, while special loads like elevators and fire pumps are also connected to the MDB. Additionally, an optional monitoring system can track energy consumption and provide alerts for overcurrent or outages.
