EE409 ELECTRICAL STANDARDS AND PRACTICE 2020-2021; 2ND Sem

Module 4 PEC Part 2


Engr. Rosalynn C. Hernandez

Module Introduction

This module will contribute a great help to the students to define what is PEC CODE 1 and 2,
identify the different parts of PEC Code, explain the different parts of PEC Code and explain the
different parts of PEC Code
This course is intended for regular third year Electrical Engineering students.

This will help the students to attain the following Intended Learning Output

 Assess the student’s understanding on the operation of distribution systems


and equipment (knowledge)
 Summarize necessary tools and techniques to be able to model, analyze, and
design electric distribution systems (application)
 Design a distribution system including accessories and protection (evaluation)

There is a Module Exercises at the end of every topic for the students to answer and review all
the lessons that they learned.

 The most commonly used methods done by Practitioners

METHODS OF COMPUTATION USED FOR WIRING DESIGN

A. Design Load method:


 100VA per lighting & convenience receptacle (LO)
 180VA or 200 VA per convenience outlet (CO)
B. Area Method :
 24VA per m2 for residential excluding toilet and porches
 28VA per m2 and 8VA per m2 for office general lighting and office general
purpose receptacle outlets respectively
 16VA per m2 for industrial plant.

Module 4 PEC Part 2
Engr. Rosalynn C. Hernandez

Note: A single residence with 10 kW or more initial load requires a 100A service. Lighting outlet
shall be separated from the circuit of convenient outlet except in occupancy where the total
connected load does not exceed 15A.

C. For Motor Loads:


 Ampacity of conductors: Use 125% of the FLA (full load ampere)
 Rating of branch over current protective device:
 Use 250% of FLA for thermal magnetic CB
 300% of FLA for non time delay fuse

Note: The above ratings were based on full voltage or across the line starter and can go
lower to 150% of FLA and 200% of FLA for CB & fuses respectively if starters were
used.

HAZARDOUS LOCATION:
1. Class I- Locations in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in the air
sufficient to produced explosive or ignitable mixtures. (ex. Gasoline terminals, distilery,
pharmaceuticals etc)
2. Clas II- Locationss in which hazardous because of the presence of combustible dust. (Ex.
Firecracker maker, match maker, dyanmite plant etc)
3. Clas III- Location in which are hazardous because of the presence easily ignitable fibers
and fyings ( EX. Textile plant, paper, saw mills etc)

GROUNDING SYSTEM
1. System Grounding- a system or circuit conductor that is intentionally grounded.
2. Equipment Grounding- the conductors used to connect the non current carrying metal
parts of equipment to the system ground conductor at the service equipment
3. Grounding Conductor- a conductor used to connect equipment to grounded circuit of
a wiring system to a grounding electrode

LIGHTING DESIGN
Lighting design is a combination of applied art and applied science

GOALS OF LIGHTING DESIGN


1. Lighting level should be adequate for efficient seeing of the particular task involved.
2. Lighting equipment should be unobstructive, but not necessarily invisible.
3. Lighting must have the proper quality.
4. Lighting design must be accomplished efficiently in terms of capital and energy
resources.
METHODS USED FOR LIGHTING DESIGN:
1. Illumination Methods ( Point by point method)
a) General Lighting- this is a system designed to give uniform and generally
though not necessarily. Diffuse lighting throughout the area under
consideration.
b) Local and Supplementary- these are two terms that that are used
interchangeably but have slightly different meanings. “ Local Lighting”
provides a small, high level area without contributing to the general lightng. “
Supplementary lighting” also provides a restricted area of high intensity, but
supplements the general lighting.
EE409 ELECTRICAL STANDARDS AND PRACTICE 2020-2021; 2ND Sem
Module 4 PEC Part 2
Engr. Rosalynn C. Hernandez

c) Combined General & Local Lighting- is used in space where general visual
task is low but supplementary lighting is required in a limited area of
particular task.
2. Lumens (Flux Method)
Lumen method of calculation is a procedure for determining the average
maintained illumination on the working plane in a room. The method pre
supposed that luminaire will be spread so that uniformity of illumination is
provided.
3. Flood Lighting
It means “flooding” of large surface with help of light from powerful projectors. It
uses are for aesthetics advertising and industrial/commercial lighting schemes.
