Description of module content:

Introduction to the IET Wiring Regulations, 18th edition, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022. In this module you will have to design an electrical installation. To do that you will apply knowledge of the following: Supply system components and ratings. Loads, cables, wiring and installation methods. Overload protection, protection devices - fusing, MCBs, MCCBs, RCDs, Selectivity and fault levels, earthing, bonding, protection against electric shock and protection against overcurrent. Complete circuit design calculations. Lightning and surge protection. Illumination - lighting, emergency and external lighting. UPS systems. Harmonics. Fire alarms, inspection and testing. Sustainable design issues; Power Factor improvement and Microgeneration and connections.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate an understanding of the IET Wiring Regulations.

LO2: Apply knowledge of sustainable design of electrical supply systems.

LO3: Propose a wiring installation for a building.

LO4: Applying knowledge on a case study industrial application

Assessment
Type of Assessment Weighting % LOs covered Week due Length in Hours/Words Description
Project - Practical 30 1~2~3~4 Week 6 HOURS= max 2000 words The students are given a case study for an electrical installation in a mixed use building. The preliminary report will require them to practically apply the practical knowledge gained in the first half of the module to carry out the electrical layout including the wiring considerations [M1-M6] using software to validate their design. Their report [M17-18] will receive feedback which they need to take onboard towards the full submission.
Project - Practical 60 1~2~3~4 Exam Period HOURS= max 10000 words The students are given a case study for an electrical installation in a mixed use building. This final report requires iteration of the electrical supply design (component 1), using software to validate any manual calculations, justifying component choices and compliance with the IET wiring regulations [M1-M6] . The report will also include lighting design including emergency lighting and any considerations towards power factor correction, fire alams [M10], and sustainability [M7]. The report should be written to a high standard emulating a professional environment [M17-18].
Class Test 10 1~2 Week 13 HOURS= 1 hour The in-class multiple choice test will focus on the themes of technical compliance [M1, M3], sustainability [M7] and security [M10] as a chance for students to apply the knowledge gained in the second part of the trimester and taking onboard the formal and informal feedback from the written reports.
