Electrical Engineering Design
• Electrical Engineering Design is the engineering
practice of providing for a safe and optimum
electrical scheme/s for buildings/plants/facilities,
including its power distribution system, standby
power generator system, uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) system, solar power system,
telecommunication system, fire detection & alarm
system (FDAS), signalization, grounding system,
lightning protection, building automation system
(BAS), as well as lighting and small power system.
1.0 The Philippine Electrical Code
• The PEC has two parts, namely:
• PEC Part I - Electrical installation inside
buildings.
• PEC Part II - Electrical installation outside
buildings.
• The PEC consists of rules which
are intended to make the use of electricity
safe for persons and property.
1.1 Categories of PEC Rules
• Two (2) categories of PEC rules:
• 1. Mandatory Rules -
• characterized by the use of the word “SHALL’’.
• 2. Advisory Rules -
• characterized by the use of the word “SHOULD”
or are stated as recommendations of that which
is advised but not required.
1.2 Objectives of the PEC
• a) Safe Use of Electricity- to establish basic
materials quality and electrical work standards
for the safe use of electricity for light, heat,
power, communications, signaling and for other
purposes.
• b) Adequacy - Strict compliance with the
provisions of the PEC will ensure safety in
electrical installations and construction, but not
necessarily efficient, convenient, or adequate
for good service or for future expansion of
electrical use.
1.3 Republic Act 7920
• The use of the PEC is mandated by the R.A. 7920,
(formerly the R.A. 184 which was enacted in 1947). The
R.A. 7920 (which repealed R.A. 184 in 1995) is also
known as the New Electrical Engineering Law.
• R.A. 7920 - is an act providing for a more responsive
and comprehensive regulation for the practice, licensing,
and registration of electrical engineers and electricians.
• Likewise, referral codes are also used which are
mandated by their corresponding laws.
• 1. P.D. 1096 - National Building Code of the Philippines
• 2. R.A. 9514 – New Fire Code of the Philippines (2008)
• 3. National Structural Code of the Philippines (2010)
1.4 Government Authorities which
Implement the PEC
• 1. Office of the Building Official (OBO)

• 2. Office of the City Electrician ( City
Electrical Supervising Engineer )
• 3. Office of the Municipal Electrician
(Municipal Electrical Supervising
Engineer)
• 4. Regional Office of the DOLE
1.5 Scope of the PEC
• The PEC covers electric conductors including optical fiber cable and
installed within or on, to or from:
• 1. Public and private buildings 2. Electrical generating plants
• 3. Temporary & permanent substations
• 4. Industrial plants 5. Transformer stations
• 6. Railway switchyards 7. Yards, carnival, parking, etc.
• 8. Watercraft 9. Dockyards
• 10. Airfields 11. Quarries and mines
• 12. Mobile homes, travel trailers & recreational vehicles
• 13. Offshore facilities
• 14. Other premises which requires electrical installation except to those
which are done in; a) Aircrafts
b) motor vehicles
c) railway rolling stocks
1.6 PERMITS & INSPECTION
CERTIFICATES
• An Electrical Permit is required before undertaking any
electrical installation. An inspection is also required after
which certificate of electrical inspection (CEI) is issued
by the authority.
• *EXCEPTIONS* A permit is not required for;
• 1. The installation of electrical portable equipment rated
not more than 1,200 VA.
• 2. Reconnection of disconnected service due to non-
payment of electric bill or change of occupants for a
period of one year.
1.7 CODE RULES
• CLASSIFICATION OF CODE RULES

• 1.Wiring Design Rules
• 2.Installation Rules
• 3.Manufacturing Rules
1.7.1 Wiring Design Rules
Wiring design rules are used to determine sizes
and rating of circuit conductors and devices.
• Example:
• 1. Branch circuit conductors supplying a single
motor shall have an ampacity not less than
125% of the full-load current. Section 4.30.2.2
• 2. The disconnecting means for motor circuits
shall have an ampere rating of at least 115% of
the full-load current rating of the motor.
Section 4.30.10.10(a)
1.7.2 Installation Rules
• Installation rules
• Example:
• 1.A disconnecting means shall be located within
sight from the motor controller. Section 4.30.102
• 2.In class II Division I Locations, motors,
generators, and other rotating electric
machinery shall be dust ignition proof or totally
enclosed pipe ventilated and shall be approved
for class II locations. Sections 5.02.8
1.7.3 Manufacturing Rules
• Manufacturing rules
• Example:
• Section 4.30.1.7
• A motor shall be marked with the following
information:
• 1) Manufacturer’s Name
• 2) Rated Volts and Full-load Amperes
• 3) Rated Frequency and Number of Phases, if
• an alternating current motor, etc.
• 4) Rated full-load speed
1.8 Editions of the PEC
• The following are the editions of the PEC:
• 1962; 1969; 1973; 1980; 1985; 1992; 2000;
2009, the Latest
• Why do Code Rules Change?
• – Existing provisions become unsafe
• – New technologies
• – New products
• – New methods or techniques
1.8.1 Why do Code Rules Change?
– Existing Provisions Become Unsafe

food preparation and
cooking. (Culinary Schools)
1.9.3 Revisions

one or more persons as a housekeeping unit with
space for eating, living, sleeping, and permanent
provisions for cooking and sanitation. (PEC 2000)

• ----- V. Farm Calculation, 2.20.5.1-4
1.9.6 Universal Change
• A universal change throughout the Code is the

replacement of “computed load” and “demand
load” with “calculated load.” For example, the
term demand load is being replaced with
calculated load to improve clarity and to reduce
confusion, especially when related to
“calculated load” and “ demand factor.” The
term calculated load includes demand factor,
the concepts of diversity, and historical data.

COMPUTATIONS-2
3.9.4 SIZING THE TRANSFORMER
• The total connected load is
• kVA = 1.732 x V x I / 1000
• = 1.732 x 220 volts x 365.72 amperes / 1000
• = 139.35 kVA total conn. load
• The Demand Load is

• Demand kVA = Total kVA Conn. Load x Demand Factor
• Assume a 40% Demand Factor
• Demand kVA = 139.35 kVA x 0.40 = 55.74 kVA
• Average kVA per phase = 55.74 / 3 = 18.58 kVA
• Use: Three 25 kVA 1-phase distribution transformers in bank
For 3-Ph 4-W + G System
• When using the 400v/230v 3-phase 4-wire +
ground system, the phase current is the same
as the line current, henceforth the formula
becomes:
• Iph = Iline
• KVA = Itotal x V/1000
• KVA = 210 x 400/1000
• = 84 KVA
3.9.3 TYP.POWER RISER DIAGRAM
3.9.4 SIZING THE STANDBY POWER
• The total connected load is
• = 139.35 kVA total conn. load
• The calculated Demand Load is
• kVA = 55.74 kVA
• Assuming a 100% emergency power back up
• Genset kW = 55.74 x 0.80 pf = 44.6 kW demand
• Assuming a maximum loading of 70%
• The kW capacity of the generator = 44.6 / 0.70 = 63.7 kW
• Use: 75 kW 230 volts 3-phase 60 Hertz 1800 RPM diesel engine
generator set complete with accessories, i.e. starting battery,
fuel day tank, exhaust silencer, metering, manual or automatic
transfer switch, etc.

3.9.5 SIZING THE SOLAR POWER
• Assume an available roof area of 30 mtrs by 20 mtrs, and about 205
of the area to be allotted for anchoring the panels and for
maintenance access,
• The number of 250 watts solar panels is,
• = 20 x 30 x 80% / 1.6m x 1.0m
• = 300 panels
• The Total kW capacity of the Solar Power Supply system is,
• = 300 panels x 250 watts / 1000
• = 75 kW maximum possible
• Use: 6 each 12kW grid tie inverters (to be connected 4 x 6kW
inverters per phase) 240 volts DC input, 220 volts AC 1-phase, pure
sine wave output.
• Note: Option to arrange a net metering agreement with the Utility
company. Any extra energy generated during day time will be
