ABSTRACT
The issue of safety and cost of electrical installation is becoming important for any type of
building. As the need for energy saving is increasing, it is important to reduce the lighting power
density while maintaining high quality lighting in the building. This project involves the design
of detailed electrical drawings in the software AutoCAD and design of the lightings in the software
DIALux. Estimation and calculations of different possible electrical loads are performed. As per
the requirements of different rooms, different types of luminaires are selected and simulated in
the software DIALux to ensure that the required illumination level is achieved. The types and size
of cables and the ratings of protection devices have been calculated. This project report can act as
a guide in the successful implementation of the project. The study emphasized on ensuring the
safety of the building from the electrical hazards, decrease the cost of installation and save energy
with efficient lighting.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Electrical wiring is an electrical installation of cabling and associated devices such as switches,
distribution boards, sockets and light fittings in a structure [1]. Wiring is subject to safety standards
for design and installation. Allowable wire and cable types and sizes are specified according to the
circuit operating voltage and electric current capability, with further restrictions on the
environmental conditions such as ambient temperature range, moisture levels, and exposures:
sunlight and chemicals [2].
Electrical power distribution systems are often connected to ground to limit the voltage that can
appear on distribution circuits. A distribution system insulated from ground may attain a high
potential due to transient voltages caused by arcing, static electricity, or accidental contact with
higher potential circuits [3]. A ground connection of the system dissipates such potentials and
limits the rise in voltage of the grounded system.
1.2 Objectives
• To draft the basic electrical plans and layouts of a building.
• To study and design the lighting arrangements in a building.
• Design of protection and isolation system in building.
• To study the electrical demand of a building.
1.3 Motivation
Proper lighting design of a room helps to create a warm, inviting, safe and comfortable atmosphere
along with adding style to interior decoration [4]. It brings positive effects which can affect human
comfort, productivity and even human health. A carefully planned lighting can save significant
amount of energy which helps in saving energy cost. At workplace, appropriate lighting can reduce
eye fatigue and headaches and can prevent workplace accidents [5].
Electrical wiring design helps to estimate the type and length of wire that will be needed which
saves money. It also saves time because the professionals can identify the areas if any problems
occur [6]. Proper electrical design prevents the building from any kind of electrical hazards which
1
could cause fire and it also prevents people from getting serious injuries. The concern for human
safety and the importance of better design motivated us to undertake this project.
For lighting design, the required illumination of different rooms is identified. Then, the necessary
number of luminaires are calculated for each room and further simulated in the DIALux software to
ensure that the illumination level is met.

Figure 1: Block diagram of system
In the above figure power from the utility pole is connected to sub-circuits via three phase Energy
meter, three phase circuit breakers (MCCB) (4-pole 50A) and Double pole MCB. The three-phase
power distribution to homes or offices is necessary if the load requirement cannot be handled by a
single-phase supply. The efficient usage of three phase power depends on balancing load
distribution on each phase of the three-phase supply.
In this, three phase four wire supply is connected to the main distribution panel. This panel has a
three-phase main breaker. This main breaker has single handle such that all the loads are powered
down simultaneously and also in case of electrical faults, it trips or opens all loads simultaneously.
The three phase four wire power supply from this main panel is connected to the floor distribution
board through which it is connected to sub-circuits. The main panel consists of four pole breakers
and each floor distribution board consists of three pole breakers. For further sub-circuits, there are
single or double pole breakers.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
Study and research about the theoretical aspects of the project were done. Research papers and
books were referred for this purpose. Studies about various electrical components, various
softwares used and theoretical aspects about the project were carried out.
Lighting design is a field within architecture and electrical engineering which is concerned with
the design of lighting systems [9]. The lighting design takes account of the kind of human activity
for which lighting is provided, the amount of light required, the color of light as it affects the views
of particular objects. Proper lighting design adds style to interior decoration and creates a safe and
comfortable atmosphere. At workplace, appropriate lighting prevents workplace accidents. It helps
to save the energy cost as well as improves the productivity of the workers.
For many years, lighting research for interiors has been focused on the visibility and visual comfort.
But lighting has impacts not only on these, but also on the health, wealth and safety of the people
as well [10]. Lighting design has vital role in influencing viewer’s perception by evoking moods,
providing visual focus and conveying visual tension [11]. Care should also be given on choosing
lighting system because the energy use of system is important, both in terms of its initial capital
cost and the running cost [12].

2.2 Components for Electrical Protection
2.2.1 MCB
A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) automatically switches off electrical circuit during abnormal
condition of the network which means in over load condition as well as faulty condition. Nowadays
we use an MCB in low voltage electrical network instead of fuse. The fuse may not sense it but
the miniature circuit breaker does it in a more reliable way. MCB is much more sensitive to over
current than fuse.
Whenever continuous over current flows through MCB, the bimetallic strip is heated and deflects
by bending. This deflection of bimetallic strip releases mechanical latch. As this mechanical latch
is attached with operating mechanism, it causes to open the miniature circuit breaker contacts, and
the MCB turns off thereby stopping the current to flow in the circuit. To restart the flow of current
the MCB must be manually turned ON. This mechanism protects from the faults arising due to
over current or over load.
2.2.2 MCCB
Molded case circuit breakers are a type of electrical protection device that is commonly used when
load currents exceed the capabilities of miniature circuit breaker. They are also used in applications
of any current rating that require adjustable trip settings, which are not available in plug-in circuit
breakers and MCBs.
A moulded case circuit breaker MCCB, is a type of electrical protection device that can be used
for a wide range of voltages, and frequencies of both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The main distinctions
between molded-case and miniature circuit breaker are that the MCCB can have current ratings of
up to 2,500 amperes, and its trip settings are normally adjustable. As with most types of circuit
breakers, an MCCB has three main functions:
• Protection against overload – current above the rated value that last longer than what is
normal for the application.
• Protection against electrical faults – During a fault such as a short circuit or line fault, there
are extremely high currents that must be interrupted immediately.
• Switching a circuit on and off – This is a less common function of circuit breakers, but they
can be used for that purpose if there isn’t an adequate manual switch.
5
The wide range of current ratings available from moulded-case circuit breakers allows them to
be used in a wide variety of applications. MCCBs are available with current ratings that range
from low values such as 15 amperes, to industrial ratings such as 2,500 amperes. This allows
them to be used in both low-power and high-power applications.
2.2.3 Earthing
In an electrical installation, an earthing system or grounding system connects specific parts of that
installation with the Earth's conductive surface for safety and functional purposes. The point of
reference is the Earth’s conductive surface. The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and
electromagnetic compatibility of the installation.
Protective Earthing
An earth ground connection of the exposed conductive parts of electrical equipment helps protect
from electric shock by keeping the exposed conductive surface of connected devices close to earth
potential when a failure of electrical insulation occurs. When a fault occurs, current flows from the
power system to earth. The current may be high enough to operate the over current protection fuse
or circuit breaker, which will then interrupt the circuit. To ensure the voltage on exposed surfaces
is not too high, the impedance (resistance) of the connection to earth must be kept low relative to
the normal circuit impedance.
Functional Earthing
A functional earth connection serves a purpose other than electrical safety, and may carry current
as part of normal operation. For example, in a single wire earth return power distribution system,
the earth forms one conductor of the circuit and carries all the load current. Other examples of
devices that use functional earth connections include surge suppressor and electromagnetic
interference filters.
6
2.2.5 Power circuit and lighting circuit
A Light circuit usually uses less power, therefore lower amperage than a power circuit so the wire
diameter is smaller. Also, because the fittings in a light circuit are usually out of reach, an earth
wire is often not used.
A power circuit is defined as any circuit used to carry electricity that operates a load. A circuit with
an outlet for the source, two wires for the path, a switch for the control device and a motor or a
load is a good illustration of a good power circuit. When the switch is closed, the electrons flow
through the path and the electron go directly through the motor windings and cause the motor to
operate. The only circuit control in this circuit is the switch wired directly in series with the motor.
There is no separate control circuit associated with this power circuit. Most lighting and acceptable
outlet circuit in a house are power circuit since they only provide power to devices when the
devices operate, and the circuit control is a part of the power circuit.
2.3.2 DIALux
A DIALux is a software which can design, calculate and visualize light professionally with the
latest luminaire data of leading luminaire manufacturers included. By using this software, we can
design, calculate and visualize light professionally – single rooms, whole floors, buildings and
outdoor scenes.

2.4.1 Cleat wiring
This system of wiring comprises of ordinary VIR or PVC insulated wires (occasionally, sheathed
and weather proof cable) braided and compounded held on walls or ceilings by means of porcelain
cleats, Plastic or wood.

A color rendering index (CRI) is a quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reveal
the colors of various objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or natural light source. The CRI
of a light source does not indicate the apparent color of the light source; that information is given
by the correlated color temperature (CCT)
Color temperature defines the color appearance of a white LED. CCT is defined in degrees Kelvin;
a warm light is around 2700K, moving to neutral white at around 4000K, and to cool white, at
5000K or more. The Kelvin based CCT (Correlated Color Temperature), is a scale used in lighting
to measure the color temperature of a luminaire. It puts specifics to the description of the
appearance of white light as “warm”, “neutral” or “cool”
Direct Lighting
Indirect Lighting
9
Semi-Direct Lighting
Semi -Indirect Lighting
In an indirect lighting system, 90 to 100 percent of the light from the luminaire shines upward and
reflects off the ceiling. Indirect lighting should result in highly diffused, evenly distributed light. The
ceiling is the main source of light in this type of system, so it should be completely and evenly lit.
If the system is well designed, only a small amount of light will shine downward.
In a semi-direct lighting system, 60 to 90 percent of the light from the luminaire shines toward the
working surface. The remainder of the light is reflected toward the ceiling and the upper portion of
the walls. This lighting system softens shadows and produces even lighting. Semi-direct and direct
lighting have many characteristics in common. As is true with a direct lighting system, unless the
fixtures are properly arranged, reflected light or shadows can be a problem when using semi-direct
lighting
In a semi-indirect lighting system, 60 to 90 percent of the light from the luminaire reflects toward
the ceiling. Highly reflective ceilings and room finishes are important, as is good surface
maintenance. This method of lighting produces a very pleasing room ambience while also providing
several good reading areas.

2.9 Rating of Cable & Equipment as Per Nepal Standard
The current-carrying capacity of different types of cables shall be chosen in accordance with good
practice. Cable size shall be 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240, 300, 400,
500 mm2 [13]. The current ratings of isolators and normal duty switches and composite units of
switches and fuses shall be selected from one of the following values: 6, 10, 16, 25, 32, 63, 100,
160, 200, 320, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000 and 1250 A. IS 13947-3 shall be refer. The current ratings
of miniature circuit breakers shall be chosen from the values given below: 6, 10, 16, 25, 32, 40, 63,
80, 100, 125 A.
Lighting and levels of illumination: Lighting installation shall take into consideration the many
factors on which the quality and quantity of artificial lighting depends. The modern concept is to
provide illumination with the help of a large number of light sources not of higher illumination
level. Also, much higher levels of illumination are called for than in the past, often necessitating
the use of fluorescent lighting suitably supplemented with incandescent fittings, where required.
2.10 Cables
The smallest size of the cable that shall be used, will depend upon the method of laying cable,
permissible maximum temperature it shall withstand, the prospective short-circuit current to which
the cable may be subjected, the characteristics of the overload protection gear installed, load cycle
and thermal resistivity of the soil. IS 1255-1965 shall be referred to. Short-circuit rating curves will
serve as an approximate guide for selection of the size of cables.

Power circuit - 4.0 sq.mm PVC insulated copper stranded cable.
It is the rate at which light is emitted by lamp or luminaire and measured in lumen (lm). Luminous
Flux (Φv) is energy per unit time (dQ/dt) that is radiated from a source over visible wavelengths.
More specifically, it is energy radiated over wavelengths sensitive to the human eye.
11
2.12 Luminous Efficacy
Luminous efficacy is a measure of how well a light source produces visible light. It is the ratio of
luminous flux to power, measured in lumens per watt in the International System of Units (SI).
It is amount of light in particular direction, measured in candela and denoted by I. It denotes how
bright the source or illuminated surface is, measured directly facing the source or external source.
2.15 Illuminance
It is defined as luminous flux falling from light source on a surface. It is denoted by E and unit is
lux (lm/m2) or foot-candles. It is an important parameter in lighting design and inspection of
lighting quality. The range of lighting level is defined in lux for visual task.
High bay lights are used to illuminate spaces with high ceilings. That usually means ceilings ranging
from 20 feet to approximately 45 feet. On the other hand, low bay lights are used for ceilings under
20 feet. As a high ceiling location has more space to fill, a high bay light is a powerful light source
that can brighten up a large area. They have multiple applications across a range of industries,
including workshop and factories. They are also used in large recreational facilities, gyms and large
conference halls. High bay light provides clear and uniform lighting with little glare.
Spot Light
A spotlight is a powerful stage lighting instrument which projects a bright beam of light onto a
performance space. Spotlights are most commonly used in concerts, musicals and large scale
presentations where highlighting a specific individual is necessary.

CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY
The following methods were applied during the implementation of the project.
During literature survey, secondary information regarding the project was gathered from the
sources like research paper, articles and books.
Visit were made to the project site which helped to gather information directly from the site.
Then, the number of luminaires were calculated to meet the illumination level of the rooms
and simulation was done to check whether the requirement was met or not.
Layout design
After that, all the loads were placed and finally the layout design of the building was done.
Kathmandu University (KU) Multipurpose Hall is located in the university premises. It is in front
of KU football ground and swimming pool. KU Multipurpose Hall is a 3 storeyed building having
a main hall for multipurpose activities. Ground Floor has a storage and toilets for gents and ladies
and a pump room for swimming purpose. First Floor consist a Meeting Hall for meeting purpose
and an Office room for multipurpose hall officer. Ground Floor consists of a Meeting Hall, Office
Room, Stage, Seating and a Main Hall.
Main Hall is divided into Volleyball Court and Badminton Court. It also serves as a Seating area
when required. This multipurpose hall can be used to organize various formal programs like
seminars, conferences and meetings. Similarly, it can be used for indoor sports programs like
13
badminton, volleyball and table tennis. All the Luminaries are calculated as per requirement of the
room and placed accordingly for a particular lux level. Also, electrical wiring layout is done as per
the load calculated.
Three phase power from the utilities is connected to the main breaker through three-phase energy
meter. The power in the main breaker is then given to various busbars. This panel is also included
with metering arrangement to display parameters like current, voltage, energy and power. The
figure below shows the power distribution from main panel to machinery and lighting loads.
14
The three-phase power distribution to homes or offices is necessary if the load requirement cannot
be handled by a single-phase supply. The efficient usage of three phase power depends on
balancing load distribution on each phase of the three-phase supply.
So, the single-phase loads in the offices or homes must be connected to each phase such that
maximum possible load balancing will be achieved.

CONCLUSION
As mentioned earlier, proper electrical wiring design is important to address the safety and cost of
electrical installation in a building. Efficient lighting design plays role in reducing energy cost as
well as improving human productivity and comfortness and influences people’s perception. To
ensure the safety from electrical hazards, proper selection of wires and protection devices like SPD,
RCCB and MCCB is important. Similarly, proper selection of luminaires is important to maintain
comfortable atmosphere, save energy and enhance interior designs. This report includes summary
of literature surveys and design of electrical layout and lighting arrangements which can be used
as references in implementing the plan.
