VII-ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS IN BUILDING
7.1 Service Entrance:-defined as that portion of the supply conductor which extends from the
street main duct or transformer to the service or switchboard of the building
supply. The National Electrical Code (NEC) defined it as the conductor and
equipment for delivering energy from the electrical supply system of the
premises served. It is categorized as overhead or underground service.
a) Overhead service entrance- is the common type of service wire installed by
electrical power supply companies (Like MERALCO and Electric Cooperatives)
for industrial, commercial and residential consumer users. A service drop is
connected from the nearest utility pole to the building service entrance point and
enter the building through the weather head down to the electric power meter.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
63/148
b) Underground service entrance- consists of a conduit raceway extending from
the property line where it is tapped to the main. The cable recommended for
such purpose is the USE type (Underground Service Entrance) cable. Most
buildings service entrances are connected to the secondary line voltage below
600 volts. Service entrance can be 2, 3 or 4 wires including a grounded neutral
wire. Service entrance may be 2 wires of 120/240 volts or 4 wires with 120/208
or 277/400 volts for larger installations. Size of wires series from 60, 100 or 200
Amperes depending on the demand load but generally 2 wires service entrance
does not exceed 60 Amperes.
c) Electric meter- is generally installed outside the building at the property line
wall or electric posts ready access to the utility meter reader, making it difficult to
tamper or to install jumpers.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
64/148
d) Feeder- as per National Electric Code (NEC) it is defined as all circuit
conductors between the service equipment or the generator switchboard of an
insulated plant and the final branch circuit over current device.
e) Main- is a feeder interior wiring extending from the service switch, generator
bus or inverter bus to the main distribution center or electric servcie equipments.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
65/148
f) Phase conductor wires are color coded:
a) neutral- white or grey color
b) First Hot Line A- black color
c) Second Hot Line B0 red color
-neutral conductor wire carries no current when the load on line A and line B are
equal, since neutral line is grounded, it is neutral zero potential being ahlf way in
voltage between line A & B.
g) Various electrical diagram representations;
I. Block diagram- type of representation wherein major equipments are
represented by rectangles or blocks.
II. Riser diagram- type of representation showing the spatial relations
between components.III. One line or single line diagram- used electrical symbols instead of
blocks.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
66/148
h) System voltage- is the power supply by a utility company like MERALCO and
Electric Cooperative or what the transformer produces.
i) Utilization voltage- is the current being utilized after some normal voltage drop.
Electric motors are rated at utilization voltage. Transformer is rated at 240/480
volt while an electric motor is 230/460 volts. To indicate that a motor is rated at
480 volts is not correct. Motors for 208 and 240 volt system are rated at 200 and
230 volts and so on. They cannot be changed interchangeably without seriouseffect on the motor performance. Thus, when specifying transformer, use the
system voltage for electric motors use utilization voltage, a 4% utilization voltage
drop is within the internal motor tolerance.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
67/148
j) Grounding and Ground fault
i. Ground- NEC defines it as zero voltage. The purpose of grounding the
circuit should not be broken or fused to maintain a solid and uninterrupted
connection to the ground. An established ground automatically becomes the
reference for all voltage in the system.
ii. Grounding could be accomplished by;
1. Connecting to a buried cold water main.
2. Connecting to a ground rod.
3. Connecting to a buried ground plate.iii. Code requires that all new installations shall use grounded outlets
such as GFI &GFCI devices on all appliances circuits particularly on
outdoor and bathroom locations of outlets.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
68/148
k) Reasons for Grounding the Circuit System:
1. To prevent a sustained contact between the low voltage secondary
line and the high voltage primary line in case of insulation fire.
2. To prevent single grounds from being noticed or detected while
second ground occurs that could totally disable the secondary line.
3. To facilitate in locating the ground faults.
4. To protect against a short sudden rush of electric current in the
circuit.
5. To establish a neutral at zero potential not to be interrupted byswitches or protective devices.
6. To connect the service entrance to ground only at one point and to
use colored wires for easy identification.

l) Circuit Safe Load
i. Brach Circuit- is the technical term for house wiring installation that
varies in sizes depending upon the load it is to serve. Load refers to the
electricity drawn or consumed by lighting fixtures, appliances, equipments etc.
ii. The code provides that wirings for electrical circuitry shall be of the
types RHW , T, THW, TW, THWN, XNHW in a raceway or cables.
iii. That on a 20 Ampere circuit, a single appliance shall not draw a
current in excess of 16 Amperes.
v. That if, a branch circuit, a single appliance draw shall not exceed 24amperes.
vi. That on a 20 Amperes circuit, a single appliance draw shall not
exceed 24 amperes.
vii. That a heavy lamp holders shall be rated not less than750 watts.

VIII-ILLUMINATION AND ELECTRICAL BILLING
OF MATERIALS
8-1 Illumination- defined as the intensity of light per unit per unit area. This is
simply lighting and we are referring to man made lighting. Daylight being
excellent is not included indeed, we assure a night time condition.
8-2 Electric Illumination- is the production of light by means of electricity and its
applications to provide efficient, comfortable and safe vision. When we speak of
lighting design, we refer to only two things;(a) quantity of light &
(b) quality of light
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
72/148
8-3 Quantity of Light- refers to the amount of illumination or luminous flux per unit
area. It can be measured and handled because it deals with the no. of light
fixtures required for a certain area.
8-4 Quality of Light- refers to the distribution of brightness in the lighting
installation. It deals with essential nature or characteristics of light. It is the
mixture of all items related to the illumination that the quantity of light which
includes several elements such as:
1. Brightness 5. Brightness ration or contrast2. Glare 6. Diffusions
3. Color 7. Aesthetics
4. Psychological reaction & fixtures 8. Economics
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
73/148
There are four factors that affect illumination:
1. Brightness- is the light that seems to radiate from an object being viewed.
Brightness or luminance is the luminous flux light emitted, transmitted or
reflected from a surface.
2. Contrast- is the difference in brightness or the brightness ratio between and
object to its background. The recommended ratio between an object and the
object being viewed is normally seen 3:1
3. Glare- is a strong, steady, dazzling light or reflection. The quality of lighting
must also include the visual comfort of the system which is the absence of
glare. The excessive luminance and or excessive luminance ratio in the field
of vision is referred as glare.
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
74/148
There are two (2) types of glare:
1. Direct glare- is an annoying brightness of light in persons normal
field of vision.
2. Indirect or reflected glare- is serious and difficult to control & is
technically glossy object.
i. When the discomfort glare is caused by the light source in the field of vision,
it is known as direct discomfort glare
ii. When the glare is caused by reflection of light source in a viewed surface, it
is called reflected or veiling reflections.

4. Diffuseness- refers to the control of shadows cast by light. It is the degree to
which light is shadowless and is a function of the no. of directions to which light
collides with a particular point and the comparative intensities.
i. Perfect Diffusion- is an equal intensity of light dashing from all
directions producing shadows
ii. There are three (3) characteristics that defined a particular coloration:
(a) Hue- is the quality attributed by which we recognize and describe
colors as red, yellow, green, violet, and so on.
(b) Brilliance or Value- is the difference between the resultant colors of
the same hue such as white which is most brilliant of the neutral colors whileblack is the least.
(c) Saturation or Chromate- is the difference from the purity of colors,
colors of high saturation must be used in a well lit spaces.

8 5 Estimating Illumination and Brightness
1-Three types of luminance meter available:
(a) Comparator type- requires the operator to make a brightness
equivalence judgment between the target and the background(b) Direct Reading Type- basically an illumination meter equipped with a
hooded cell arranged to block oblique light.
(c) Accurate laboratory Instrument- this is suitable for fieldwork.
2- Foot Candle (FC)- is the amount of light flux density. It is the unit of measureused when describing the amount of light in a room expressed in lumens per
square foot
(a) Foot candle meter- measured the quantity of light and the degree of
illumination.
(b) Foot Lambert (FL)- defined as the luminance of a surface reflecting,
transmitting or emitting the lumen (lm) of illumination per square foot of area inthe direction of being viewed or the conventional unit of brightness or luminance.
The quantity called Light Flux Density is the common term footcandle (fc)
represented by the formula:

77/148
(b) Foot Lambert (FL)- defined as the luminance of a surface reflecting,
transmitting or emitting the lumen (lm) of illumination per square foot of area in
the direction of being viewed or the conventional unit of brightness or luminance.
The quantity called Light Flux Density is the common term footcandle (fc)
represented by the formula:
Foot candle=Lumens
Area
i. EXAMPLE 1: A 20 watt fluorescent lamp, 120 cm (48 in.) long produces
3,200 lumens of light in a room having a dimension of 10x20 ft. Find the
illumination on the floor.
SOLUTION: Foot candle (fc) = Lumens
Area= 3,200 / m
10x20 ft.
= 16 foot candle
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
78/148
ii. Rule of thumb 10-30-30 illumination level is here presented:
10 foot candle is adequate for halls and corridors
30 foot candle is sufficient for areas between work stations such as in
offices than desk areas
50 foot candle is satisfactory on spaces where office work is being done
iii. Luminance or brightness of a diffusely reflecting surface is equal to the
product of the illumination and the reflectance.
LUMINANCE = ILLUMINATION x REFLECTANCE FACTOR OR
FOOTLAMBERT = FOOT CANDLE x REFLECTANCE FACTOR
EXAMPLE: Find the luminance if the reflectance factor of the wall is
40% having a foot candle illumination.
Foot lambert = foot candle x Refelectance factor
= 16 x 40%
= 6.4
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture

3- Lighting Units in Metric Measures
i. In the metric system of measure, the distance is expressed in feet and
the area in square feet. Under the metric system, the distance and the area are
expressed in meters and square meters respectively, thus:
Lumens flux remains in Lux hot
Illumination or light flux expressed in Lux, thus;
Lux = Lumens
Area (sq. m.)
ii. In metric system, luminance or brightness is expressed in Lambert
which is defined as the luminance or brightness of a surface reflecting,
transmitting or emitting one lumen per square centimeter. Millilambert is
conveniently used than the lambert because the value of lambert because the
value of the lambert is greater than that is usually encountered.

EXAMPLE: A 40 watts x 120 cm. Long fluorescent lamp produces 3,200 lumens
of light in a room having a general dimension of 10 ft x 20 ft. Compute the
illumination on the floor comparing the English and Metric Units.
SOLUTION: BY COMPARISON
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture
81/148
EXAMPLE: Compute the brightness of a fixture with a 1 x 4 plastic diffuser
having a transmittance of 0.6 & illuminated by 2 pieces 3,200 lumens lamp
assuming 100% use of light flux.
SOLUTION:
LUMINANCE = TOTAL LUMENS x TRANSMISSION FACTOR
AREA OF DIFFUSER
= 2 pcs x 3200 x 0.6
1 x 4
= 960 foot lambert
8/12/2019 RMsE Lecture

To obtain metric equivalent
Millilambert = Foot lambert x 1.076
= 960 x 1.076
= 1, 032.96 millilambert
4-Terms, units and conversion factors;
(a) Illumination (E)- intensity of light per unit area.
