1. The document provides specifications for the electrical installation of a proposed new highways depot. It lists tasks to complete the design project, including selecting wiring systems, showing circuit layouts, determining circuit information, and sizing conductors.
2. The responses provide details of the circuit designs for the depot, including wiring routes, circuit identification, protective device selection, demand calculations, and conductor sizing. Tables and drawings are referenced.
3. Requirements for a trunking run are determined, with the minimum 100mm x 38mm trunking size selected based on the total cable fill factor.

3. 2365-305.
Task B.
You should have the following for this task
to research tools, including the internet
-C-01/02/03
not permitted).
Read the following specifications in conjunction with the drawings and then complete
all questions in this task. This task may be completed using the resources available
such as reference books or the internet.
Drawings 2365-C-01/02/03 show a proposed new highways depot. You are involved
in the design, installation and commissioning of the electrical installation. You may
make reasonable assumptions in your project work consistent with economic
considerations and conducive to the most practical design solutions. A list of these
assumptions, with reasons, must appear in the folder or binder, with your project.
Whilst the use of manufacturers¡¯ catalogues and data is encouraged, your project
work should not involve any design from external sources. To complete the task, a
combination of drawings/overlays/copies may be used. Computer aided design
packages may be used providing that you gather and input any data required
yourself.
This task is open book and you are allowed to bring in research notes. 2365-305

1a Select, with the aid of manufacturer¡¯s data, suitable wiring systems giving reasons
for your choice.
1b Show, on drawings/copies/overlays the proposed route of all wiring systems.
2 Show, on drawings/copies/overlays the installation divided into final circuits giving
each circuit a unique form of identification.
3 Determine the design current (Ib ) for each final circuit.
4 Select a suitable type of protective device for all final circuits, giving reasons for
your choice. Consideration must be given to
4. -up current
5 Determine, for the whole installation the
a) maximum demand before the application of diversity
b) maximum demand with the application of diversity using information contained
in the IET on-site guide.
6 Determine, for one of the high bay lighting circuits within the workshop, the
minimum cross-sectional area of live conductors for current carrying capacity and
voltage drop.
7 A trunking run within the electrical switch-room area is to contain the following
single-core thermosetting stranded cables.
Determine the minimum size of trunking to be used.
5. 1)
a) For the offices I would use pvc dido trunking around the walls so that it is easy
to install new sockets and data sockets. In the workshop I would use steel
conduit for the sockets as this will protect the cables from physical damage.
For light circuits I shall run them in trunking or tray high up in the ceiling so
they are out of reach.
b) All circuit routs are drawn on the 5 separate circuit drawings.

2) This is shown on all the circuit drawings mentioned in previous question.
3) Design current and other design info shown on this separate table sheet
Andrew_Flynn_Circuit_Info.xlsl
4) Breaker type, breaking capacity and start up current are shown on this separate
table sheet Andrew_Flynn_Circuit_Info.docx
For all the light circuits and office ring circuits I decided to us a B type breaker as
there is no mass inrush of current as only PC¡¯s and basic equipment will be used
in the offices. In the workshop I¡¯ve used C type breakers due to not knowing what
may be put onto the circuit so using a type c means it won¡¯t trip if a small inrush
of current occurs when a machine is needing 5-10 seconds of the full load. For
the isolators and 3 and 4KW machines I used a type D breaker as I assume they
will have a larch inrush of current which may last more than 10 seconds.
5) After adding up the total In I got 436A
After Diversity;
(9)Sockets 32+(32*7)*0.5= 144A
(1)Lights [(10*4)+16+6]*0.9= 55.8A
(2)Isolators and Machines 50+(16+16+32+20+16)*0.75= 125A
Total with Diversity is 324.8A
6) DB3/11/3?
This circuit has 12 light fittings giving a total design current of 14A with a breaker
of 16A running a length of 38m.
Using the volt drop formula I found that the 4mm? cable was the right one to use.
VD=mV/A/m*Design Current*Length
1000
VD=11*14*38
1000
VD=5.852V
A max volt drop of 6.9V is allowed for lighting meaning 4mm? cable will be fine to
use.
7) Total Cable Factors=(336+347.5+217.2+363+251.5)
Total Cable Factors=1515.2
The trunking size has to be 100mmx38mm as it has a trunking factor of 1542
