2.3 Lighting system

Internal Lighting installation shall be done with PVC insulated copper conductor of

2.5sq.mm in rigid thermoplastic conduit of not less than 16mm diameter under

plastered wall or slab and /or ceiling or suspended. Junction boxes shall be used

where necessary. Every circuit shall have its own neutral & ground wire and the live

wire shall be connected to the switch where local switch is proposed. Switches for

flush and surface mounting in lighting circuit shall be rated for 10/16A, 220VAC

and shall confirm to BS 3676.

2.3.1 LUMINARES AND LAMPS

Generally, Ceiling and wall fittings of compact Fluorescent decorative lighting,

luminaries of appropriate type are utilized in toilets, corridors, Bed rooms, Kitchen,

store, and others whereas Chandelier, wall & pendant Fitting shall be used in Living,

dining and Family rooms . Luminaries shall comply with BS 4533 and industry

standard of the manufacturer. Enclosure to luminaries shall provide a minimum

degree of protection of IP20 when located within building and IP23 when located

outside building. Terminal blocks for connection of the supply cables shall comply

with BSEN 60920, 60921:1991. Translucent covers and reflective surfaces shall be

clean at the completion of the works.

The formula used to determine the number of luminaries at a specified luminance is

given here below. In some cases, like residences the number of luminaries

calculated and those shown on the light wiring diagrams may not be the same. This

is because of symmetry, uniformity and aesthetic value consideration which

overrides the calculation value.

The main parameters in design of lighting system are:

 6 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

- Luminance/ Illumination level

-Area

-Factors (Maintenance & Utilization factors)

-Efficiency and others

As per EBCS-10 some of the Illumination level of different purpose for our design

used is outlined below on table.

No Descriptions E (Lux)

1 Bed Room 200

2 Kitchen/ store/ 300

3 Dining /Living Room 200

4 bathroom 100

5 Office 300

The total luminous flux to produce a specified luminance is calculated from:

Φ tot = (EmxA)/ ( UFxMF) and N= Φ tot / Φ lum

Where N = Required number of luminaries

Em = rated luminance (illumination level in lux)

A = Area of the working plane (in m²)

Φ tot = total luminous flux to be produce a specified luminary (in lm)

Φ lum = lumen output of the luminaire used

 7 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

UF= Utilization factor (due to Reflection of walls, ceiling and others)

MF=Maintenance factor (due to Dirty on Light fittings)

With this formula the total lamps & Wattage required for each room shall be

calculated and Light fittings will be arranged according to the geometry of the

room. Sample Examples for this specific design will be calculated as follow

2.3.2 Lighting Control

Generally switching mechanism shall be flush mounting switch inside rooms & water

proof switch when outside. Bed rooms & rooms accessible from two sides shall be

controlled with two-way switch & stair lights shall be controlled with two way

switches. All switches shall be fixed/ flushed at a height of 140cm above finishing

floor level except at bed side which will be 120cm AFFL.

2.4 Socket/ power outlet system

General purpose socket outlet shall be done with PVC insulated copper conductor of

2.5sqmm and the load calculation per socket is assumed to be 200W except at

kitchens. The socket outlets are grouped in such away as not to exceed 1.6KW per

circuit. Stove socket outlet shall be done with 4sqmm & 6mm2 and each socket

outlet shall have its own independent circuit with a load of 2Kw & 3KW

respectively. All wires and cables shall run in rigid thermoplastic conduit of

appropriate size (that confirm to DIN 49017) of not less than 16mm diameter

under plastered wall or slab and/or ceiling.

Socket outlets for flush and surface mounting shall be of the 3-pin schuko type

(with earthing contact) rated for 16A, 220A AC and shall confirm to BS1363.

Water proof socket outlets shall be used when the area is exposed to dust and

water. Socket outlets shall be fixed/ flushed at a height of 40cm above finishing

floor level.

The following formulas are used for calculating 1-phase and 3-phase current

respectively.
 10 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

Single phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 1ph = Px103 /V

Three phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 3ph = Px103/√ 3xVcosØ

Where V= Line voltage in Volts

Cos Ø = power factor =0.80

Power cables are selected in such a way so as not exceed a voltage drop of 4%

Voltage drops in percent V% for a given power P in KW:

V% = (LxPx10) x100

( xAxV)

Where L = cable distance in m

P = active power in KW

A = cross-sectional area in mm²

V = Voltage in Volts

 = Conductivity in mm²/Ωxm, Y cu =56

Or alternatively Voltage drop can be calculated from the permissible voltage drop

(in mv/amp/m) which is mv reading of the table (EBCS10)

i.e Permissible voltage drop =V/Amp/m

 11 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

From this V=Permissible voltage drop (mv/amp/m)*I*L

Where V= Voltage drop in V

I= Current in A

L= Length run in m.

But voltage drop is expected if the cable is run more than 50m. So, in our case

since no cables run more than this, voltage drop consideration is not required.

To show how cables and breakers are selected

For MDB (Main Intake)

Pmax=79.24kw, 3ph

Three phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 3ph = Px103/√ 3xVcosØ

=79.24x1000 /√ 3x380x0.80

=150.5A

This is the line Ampere. The nominal current in will be greater than the design

current. So to find in, multiply the design current with 1.25.

In=150.5x1.25=188.1A

So the standard breaker nearest to the nominal current is200A 3ph.Thus, the

corresponding cable size for this ampere will be 5x50 sq mm as shown on the

distribution board schedule and power intake.

 12 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

For SBF- bank

Pmax=4.16kw, 1ph

Three phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 1ph = Px103/V

=4.16wx1000 /220

=18.9A

This is the line Ampere. The nominal current in will be greater than the design
current. So to find in, multiply the design current with 1.25.

In=18.9x1.25=23.63A

So the standard breaker nearest to the nominal current is 25A 1ph. Thus, the
corresponding cable size for this ampere will be 3X4mmsq. As shown on the
distribution board schedule and power intake.

For SDB-1st – 3rd floor

Pmax=19.45kw, 3ph

Three phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 3ph = Px103/√ 3xVcosØ

=19.45x1000 /√ 3x380x0.80

=36.9A

This is the line Ampere. The nominal current in will be greater than the design

current. So to find in, multiply the design current with 1.25.

In=36.9x1.25=46.1A
 13 W/R FENTA GUEST HOUSE

So the standard breaker nearest to the nominal current is 50A 3ph.Thus, the

corresponding cable size for this ampere will be 5x10 sq mm as shown on the

distribution board schedule and power intake.

For SDB-4th floor

Pmax=6.27kw, 1ph

Three phase current (I) in amperes for a given active power P in KW:

I 1ph = Px103/V

=6.27wx1000 /220

=28.5A

This is the line Ampere. The nominal current in will be greater than the design
current. So to find in, multiply the design current with 1.25.

In=28.5x1.25=35.6A

So the standard breaker nearest to the nominal current is 50A 1ph. Thus, the
corresponding cable size for this ampere will be 3X10mmsq. As shown on the
distribution board schedule and power intake.
