AE 3641 - Building Electrical Power Distribution II

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
Campus power plants and distribution, large and tall building power distribution, totalizing loads, large and medium voltage services, power company coordination, emergency generators, power factor correction, underground duct banks, electrical vaults, per unit fault current calculations, medium voltage equipment, working clearances around equipment, large motors, motor control, and feeder and branch circuit design are all covered in this course. Case studies are presented to reinforce theory and application of electrical code. Continuation of the electrical design project started in AE 3631 . (prereq: AE 3631 )
