MODULE 1.0:

LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS & APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRIES


SEMINAR INFORMATION:

Date: February 6 – 8, 2008
Venue: SUGBAHAN FOOD CENTER
A. S. Fortuna St, Mandaue City, Philippines


COURSE DESCRIPTION

CESEEPS’ three-day Training Module 1.0 known as “LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS & APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRIES” is the first component of a series of five seminars composing the program, “DESIGN PRACTICES IN INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS”. Accompanying with the course is a 356 – page book, identified as The CESEEPS RED BOOK aimed as a reference handbook for electrical construction, maintenance and design engineers.

Module 1.0 deals with the sizing & design process for branch circuits up to the largest low voltage components in an industrial plant, commercial complex or modern high-rise office building scenarios. Deep in content & substance, this module exposes the traditional folklores in circuit designing where provisions of the Philippine Electrical Code, the National Electrical Code, IEEE and other International Standards are cited as reference testimonies.

The module attempts to achieve an over-all system integration of a model medium size-industrial plant or commercial complex in the Philippine & international setting. It discusses in satisfactory details how low voltage electrical systems are designed from scratch i.e., from the remotest branch circuits, to feeders/sub-feeders, distributors/sub-distributors, from motors & group motor circuits, to Motor Control Centers, transformer circuits to distribution configuration and the final integration into the power centers & switchgears. It also covers application of power transformers, LV/LV transformers, low voltage wires & cables, miniature & molded case circuit breakers, LV power circuit breakers and LV Current Limiting fuses.

Eye opener treatments on subjects such as Development of Single Line Diagrams, System Dimensioning, Fault Calculations and System & Equipment Grounding are covered in this module in an effort to make the electrical engineer grow in these particular fields. It also includes a special section on Powering Internet Hotels & I. T. Environments where myths & common errors in practice are given emphasis.

To demonstrate the complete designing process while putting into practice the learnings that can be gained out of this module, one large chapter is incorporated in this work to showcase on how electrical systems designing should be made for a conceptual modern corporate office building.

It is then assured that practice designing with CESEEPS POWER BOOKS SERIES as guide provides the necessary understanding on the real electrical engineering in industrial plants. It is further envisioned that the electrical engineer following through the entire CESEEPS series shall then be equipped with the necessary competencies in the scenario of industrial power systems. This will help catapult the Filipino electrical engineer into the level of a truly world-class technocrat. That’s the greatest legacy that CESEEPS can offer.

This therefore is truly addressing the gap between the academe and the industry.
