d) Write any two factors for selection of LT (415V) power cables.
Ans: 1) Current Carrying Capacity:
While selecting cable, current carrying capacity is the most important factor. From the

c) Describe the procedure to prepare a design for commercial electrical installation.
Ans: Following steps are to be followed for Design consideration of electrical
installation in commercial building:
1) Find out the type of load and total electrical load for the given commercial
installation.
2) Differentiate this total electrical load in lighting load and power load.
3) Make the no. of lighting sub circuit for lighting load.

12) List out the material required for whole commercial installation.
13) Find out cost of material and labour in estimation chart.
14) Find out the total cost of estimation with profit margin and contingencies charges.
15) Find out per point charges.
16) Draw the circuit diagram.
d) Explain how rating of main switch, motor switch, DB and cable is decided in
Industrial Installation.
Ans:1) Deciding rating of main switch:The rating of main switch supplying only
one motor is equal to the starting current of that motor. But if supply is given to
number of motors from a main switch, its current rating is equal to starting current of
largest motor plus full load current of remaining motors. The voltage rating will be
equal to supply voltage rating.
2) Deciding rating of motor switch: The rating of motor switch is decided according
to the starting current of that motor.
3) Deciding rating of distribution board: The size of the distribution board is
decided from the number of circuits to be fed from it. The voltage rating of the
distribution board depends upon the voltage of the circuits supplied from it and the
current rating is the highest starting current of the circuits supplied from it.
7
4) Deciding rating of cable: At the time of starting motor draws much more current
as compared to its full load current. To sustain this starting current, the current rating
of the cables is 1.5 times the full load current of the motor i.e. 150% of Full load
current.
b) List the materials required for overhead service connection (Any Eight).
Ans: Following are the materials required for overhead service connection:
1) Poles and their fittings: The supporting structures for overhead line conductors are
various types of poles and towers called line support. The line supports should have high
mechanical strength, light weight, economical and long life. Following are the types of
Line supports
a) Wooden Poles
b) Steel Poles
c) Reinforces Concrete (RCC) Poles
8
b) All Aluminium Conductor (AAC)
c) Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
d) Cadmium Copper Conductor (CCC)
e) Galvanised Steel Conductor (GSC)
3) Earthwire and its accessories: All metal supports of overhead lines and metallic
fittings attached should be permanently and efficiently earthed. Earthing can be done in
two ways:
a) A continuous earth wire made up of galvanized steel is run over the supports and
then connected to earth at four points in every 1.6 km.
b) In second method, every pole is earthed and the earth wire is run along the pole to
the ground and connected to the earth rod pipe.
7) Danger sign boards: A danger sign board is provided on each pole as a warning
measure indicating the working voltage of the line and the word “Danger”.
8) Guarding wires: A guarding wire is provided for safety of life, installations and of the
communication circuits. When guard wires are provided, if a line conductor breaks, it
becomes earthed before falling on the ground. There are two types of guards: a) cradle
guard and b) box or cage guard.

c) Draw wiring diagram and single line diagram of 3phase, 415V, 5HP
Induction motor installation.
Ans: a) Wiring diagram of 3phase, 415V, 5HP Induction motor installation:

3. Lightning Arrester:Lightning arrester is a most important protective device of
distribution substation to protect valuable equipment as well as working personnel. It
arrests and discharges over voltage to earth during lightning strokes. These are
installed between line and earth near equipment.
4. Air Break (AB) switches / Isolator:Air break switches are used to isolate equipment
for maintenance and also for transfer of load from one bus to another.
6. Busbar:The busbar is a conductor used to connect two and more equipment located
side-by-side when the currents are very high. These are usually rectangular,
sometimes tubular, bare copper bars supported on insulators.
