Electrical Systems

Electrical Systems

  1. Power Distribution:
    • Main Distribution Boards (MDBs): These receive the electrical power from the grid or an on-site generator and distribute it throughout the building.
    • Sub-Distribution Boards: These are smaller panels that distribute power to specific areas or systems.
    • Wiring Systems: Cables, conduits, and other materials used to carry electrical current to various parts of the building.
  2. Lighting:
    • General Lighting: Includes standard lighting systems for interior and exterior spaces, such as LED fixtures, downlights, etc.
    • Emergency Lighting: Systems that operate in case of a power outage to ensure safety in evacuation.
    • Control Systems: Automated systems that manage lighting based on occupancy or time schedules.
  3. Low Voltage Systems:
    • Telecommunications: Wiring and infrastructure for telephone, internet, and networking systems.
    • Security Systems: CCTV, access control, and intrusion detection systems.
    • Public Address (PA) Systems: Sound systems used for public announcements or alarms.
  4. Backup and Emergency Power Systems:
    • Generators: Used to provide power in case of an outage.
    • Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Systems that provide short-term power for critical systems like servers or life safety equipment.
  5. Earthing and Grounding:
    • Ensures that electrical systems and equipment are properly grounded to prevent electrical shocks and ensure safety.
