Commercial
Wiring
This
book focuses on the three-phase electrical requirements and
distribution for a typical commercial facility, including load
requirements, and the calculations necessary to create a successful
electrical system.
• Learn how to design electrical sysytems
• Understand grounding and why you ground a system
• Conduit installation and bending
• Plan Reading
• Calculate fault currents
• Three-phase transformer systems
• Alternating current and impedance
• Calculating power factor
• Linear and nonlinear loads
• Harmonics and the neutral
A power company
will sell power to you a little at a time, or all in one huge arc
blast. I know that books cost money, but not knowing how or what to do
can cost a lot more than just money, even a life.
Work examples: Point
to point method of short circuit calculation, Conductor withstand
rating, Delta-Wye 3-phase transformer calculations made simple,
Commercial buildings (bank, office, restaurant, school, motel, etc.)
calculations with demand factors for service sizing, conduit bending,
plans reading (restaurant plan in detail), understand why we ground the
system, one must understand that under normal conditions
the electrical load will function properly whether grounded or not.
Commercial
jobs
often require you to work with three-phase, higher voltages, metal
raceways and heavier equipment, which might bring about a commensurate
increase in compensation and pay. This is the book if you want to specialize
in commercial. The
answer pages are perforated so the class instructor can easily remove
them.
