DSGN 316 - Electrical Design Principles

Description
This course covers the fundamentals of electrical design for commercial and industrial buildings, with a focus on lighting, power distribution, and motor control systems. Students will apply Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements for conductor protection, ampacity calculations, raceway systems, and motor branch circuits. Key topics include system voltages, panelboard design, and the design of feeders, overcurrent protection, and low-voltage transformers. Through a hands-on project, students will integrate electrical analysis and design, preparing them for real-world applications in compliance with CEC standards.
