Electrical Design Course

This course is a step-by-step guide on designing low-voltage distribution systems in houses, apartmants and other commercial buildings. The design includes lighting, wiring of electrical components, selection of circuit breakers and fuses, creation of single-line diagram and riser of building, selection of generators, design of earthing systems, light current systems and much more.

The course consists in 20 lessons and 181 topics with a duration of 44 hours.

If you are an electrical power engineer interested in electrical distribution, this is a must-take course that will teach you all you need to know, starting from scratch. You will obtain the skills necessary to work with and design electrical installations using popular software such as AutoCAD, DiaLUX, and ETAP.

You will also learn how to calculate voltage drops and conduct short-circuit analyses.

This course includes over 181 lectures designed to provide a comprehensive and profound understanding of electrical design, progressing from novice to expert.

Throughout the course you will learn:

  • Basics of lighting design including concepts and methods of design.
  • Design of the lighting system using Dialux Evo.
  • Design of the lighting system using Dialux Red.
  • Basics of Autocad Electrical.
  • Wiring of the electrical system in Autocad that includes luminaries, sockets, and more.
  • Panel schedule for power and lighting systems.
  • Selection of circuit breakers and cables.
  • Drawing the single-line diagram of an electrical system and the riser of a building.
  • Importance of load estimation process and how to do it with a step-by-step lesson.
  • Load estimation using Excel program.
  • Transformer room dimensions sizing.
  • Generator room dimensions sizing.
  • Voltage drop analysis using manual calculations and the ETAP program.
  • Short circuit analysis using manual calculations and the ETAP program.
  • Everything about cables including different types of cables, types of armouring systems, types of
  • insulation, types of cable formation, derating factors, and more.
  • Sizing of the neutral and the earthing conductors.
  • Design of the earthing system using manual calculations and the ETAP program.
  • Design of lightning protection system.
  • Design of the UPS systems.
  • The residual circuit breakers, fuses, and breakers used in low, medium, and high-voltage circuits.
  • Construction, types, and components of an electrical panel.
