MEP ENGINEERING
WHAT IS MEP ENGINEERING?
In the construction world, MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and
plumbing

THE M-E-P IN MEP ENGINEERING ARE:

The mechanical design elements of a building, most especially the

heating and cooling systems, help make life inside more comfortable. These
systems allow us to occupy buildings in hot and cold temperatures, under all
weather conditions.

The electrical system in a building keeps the lights on, keeps our
devices powered , and keeps the other systems running. Architectural
lighting design and plans are a crucial component of the electrical
engineering process.

Where would we be without plumbing? Water is what sustains us.

Plumbing systems provide fresh water for drinking, cleansing and more. And
they take storm and sanitary wastewater away, safely.

BUSBAR

WHAT IS THE BUSBAR DEFINATION?

AN ELECTRICAL BUS BAR IS A SOLID-STATE CONDUCTOR MADE FROM COPPER AND
ALUMINUM- PRESENT IN THE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 150 YEARS. MOST BUS BARS ARE
ENCLOSED IN SWITCHBOARDS, PANELS, DISTRIBUTION STATIONS, DUCTS, AND STORAGE
UNITS.

WHAT DOES A BUS BAR DO?

In a power distribution system, a source or a generator generates high power in the order of
megawatts to distribute over multiple destinations. The step-up voltage is sent through
overhead or underground lines. The voltage is step-down for distribution at the receiving end.
For low-voltage distribution with high current ratings, solid-state conductors are preferred.
These solid-state conductors are called bus bars. A bus bar can conduct and ground electricity.
It is

important to note that a bus bar neither converts electrical current nor steps up/down the
voltage.
A bus bar offers a low electrically resistant path to incoming or outgoing currents. Bus bars are
deployed in groups called bus bar systems, which are used in electrical power distribution
panels to distribute electric power. Even high-voltage systems implement bus bars to carry
high-rated current.
The reason for choosing bus bars in power distribution systems is less resistance, very low-
voltage drop, fewer losses, and better current handling capacity compared to lossy cables.
However, bus bars exhibit the skin effect at high current ratings and dissipate large amounts of
heat.

TAP-OFF BOXES
TAP-OFF BOXES ARE USED TO DRAW POWER
FROM THE BUSBAR TRUNKING
To supply the Rack Cabinets with the required energy and monitor the consumption. EAE offers
a wide range of Tap-Off Boxes constructed out of sheet metal and plastic.

Customized Tap-Off Boxes provide an independent setup for choosing a variety of electrical
equipment to be installed regardless of the brand. Energy Metering over RJ-45 connection,
utilizing the structured cabling is one of the value-added features of the EAE Tap-Off Boxes. As
for the real-time monitoring of energy consumption and other critical power parameters in the
data centres, thereby creating a more efficient IT infrastructure.
