Structure of Electrical Power System

This document is from an electrical installation course and covers electrical power systems and distribution. It discusses how power systems generate electricity at plants and distribute it through transmission and distribution networks to loads over large areas. It also describes typical distribution systems including breaker boxes, wiring diagrams, and consumer units. Multi-storey building distribution and single versus three-phase systems are examined. Electrical blueprints and floor plans are presented, showing examples of circuit layouts and switch control configurations. Wiring diagrams demonstrate how to connect boxes, fixtures, switches and receptacles.

Chapter 1
Introduction
1. Structure of Electrical Power System
A power system consists of a few generating plants, situated close to resources, supplying electric
power to various types of loads spread out over large area, through large complex
transmission

and

distribution

network.

The layout drawing or site plan of a small domestic


extension is shown in this figure. It can be seen that
the mains intake position, probably a consumer unit,
is situated in the store-room which also contains one
light con-trolled by a switch at the door.
The bathroom contains one lighting point controlled
by a one-way pull switch at the door. The kitchen
has two doors and a switch is installed at each door
to control the fluorescent luminaire.
There are also three double sockets situated around
the kitchen. The sitting room has a two-way switch
at each door controlling the centre lighting point.
Two wall lights with built-in switches are to be
wired, one at each side of the window. Two double
sockets and one switched socket are also to be
installed in the sitting room.
The bedroom has two lighting points controlled
independently by two one-way switches at the door.
The wiring diagrams and installation procedures for
all these circuits will be discussed in the next
chapters.
