High Rise Buildings Buildings with height above ground level of more than 15 m.

m. Examples Hotels, Commercial establishments General offices Electric power supply arrangement Transformer sub station which receives power a11kV on the high voltage side. Main Electrical installations Power house: Sub station, DG sets, HT/LT panes with high degree protection. Power supply distribution system: LT panel, Main Distribution Boards, Sub Distribution Boards, Distribution Boards, Switches. The connectivity of all these with accurate size of conductors using Rising Mains for vertical power distribution, BusTrunking for Transformers and DG set interconnections Lighting system: Lux level as per standards Modern lighting technology based fixtures Water supply system: Pumping with auto control, stand by bore well, cold & hot water plants, suitable under ground/overhead water static tanks. Air conditioning & Air cooling Lift & Escalators Fire & life safety solution: Automatic Fire detection & alarm system, Fire fighting system, automatic sprinklers system, fire aid hose reels, fire extinguishers, illuminated exit way marking signs, Alternate source of electric supply, fire lift with fireman switch,Wet riser system, public address system Building Management/Automation System SUBSTATIONS Out door transformers with cable end boxes on both HT and MV sides can be permitted. Dry type transformers. Separate transformer When the total connected load of the apartment is 50 kVA and above( shall be installed by the promoter / owner at his cost.)

Primary and Secondary protection When one transformer - HT load break switch fuse unit or a vacuum circuit breaker may be used as the primary controlling unit If there are more than one transformer HT switch board shall have an HT load break isolator on the incomer side as a group controller and HT SFU or VCB as out going for controlling individual transformers Metering Panel Metering panel shall be located at the ground floor level. Maximum number of outlets from a metering panel 8 - three phase supply and 12 - single phase system. Energy meters - Individual consumers Fuse/ MCB protection shall be provided for every energy meter. CABLING CABLE DUCTS- Cables from the metering panel to various floors shall be routed through cable ducts only. FIRE BARRIERS shall be provided in the cable ducts at all floor levels inside the ducts. The grid power cables and the generator cables shall be segregated inside the duct. Aluminium armoured cables are preferred up to the distribution boards of the individual consumers. Beyond the distribution board copper wires are preferred for reasons of convenience and reliability. DISTRIBUTION BOARDS Distribution boards with IP42 protection (Double door) The incomer device - RCBO or ELCB+MCB The out going MCBs shall be of B-characteristics - light & resistive loads C-characteristics - highly inductive loads. The maximum number of ways permitted for three phase distribution board is only 8. EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY Stand by generator of adequate capacity Capacity of the generator - minimum of 20 % of the connected load of the apartment. Separate emergency distribution board- when generator supply is extended to individual consumers

 Generators shall Conform to the requirements of the Pollution Control Board Housed in an acoustic enclosure Emergency engine stopping arrangement. Proper ventilation- for all electrical rooms Adequate clearances - for easy maintenance work. Stand by Power System

When main power voltage dips to 70 to 80% of nominal value, the ATS automatically starts the generator and build-up same to its rated output voltage; after 20 seconds of such power condition, the ATS automatically transfer the emergency feeder mains to generator. When main power is restored to its rated level, the ATS instantly transfer the load back to the main power feeder; after 1 or 2 minutes of main power stabilized conditions, the generator set automatically stops. Building Services are those aspects of building design that make the building worthy of its purpose for which they are designed Types of Building Services Major Building Services Require Large amount of Electricity Minor Building Services Consume Lesser amount of Power Major Power Consuming Services Lighting and Ventilation

 Air Conditioning Lifts and Escalators Minor Building Services (Functional/Safety Services) Electrical audio system Electric call-bell system Electric Clock System Fire-alarm system Closed Circuit TV System Cable TV network Data networking Intercom DESIGN ASPECTS OF LIGHTING SERVICES Good Lighting is necessary to To promote the work and other activities carried out within the building. To promote the safety of the people using the building. To create in conjunction with the structure and decoration, a pleasing environment. Good Lighting Design Involves Planning the brightness pattern from the point of view of visual performance, safety and amenity. Controlling glare, stroboscopic effect and flicker Colour rendering - Selecting correct Light Sources Providing Emergency light services. Including effective maintenance and installation features. DESIGN ASPECTS OF Air Conditioning Electrical Requirements: Conduits Junction Box Safety device Automatic Dampers to prevent spread of smoke and fire Electrical Aspects of LIFTS & ESCALATOR Services No. of floors served by lift Height between floor levels Size, capacity and Position Provisions for machine room Electric supply required Car Speed

 Control system, operation and maintenance Electrical Installation Requirements Power Supply Mains Separate lift subcircuit Lighting Earthing Difference b/w Neutral & Earth Wire NEUTRAL WIRE Earthed only at the substation (connected to neutral point of the transformer) Carries return current in single phase loads. In 3 phase load it carries unbalanced current EARTH WIRE Protection Purpose Carry large current when earth fault occurs It originates from a solidly earthed point at the substation. When run along the O/H distribution line, it is earthed at four equally spaced points during every 1.6km run of the distribution line.
