Line Diagram

[revjames]

Hi there

Does anyone have a line diagram of a commercial/industrial installation. I need to see a good example of main incomer, main switchgear, DB, Sub DB etc up to but not including final circuits.

Doing a bit more on the project and would like to see an example before I put my own line diagram together.

There was a link to a design site on here recently James, you would do well to have a look at it.

Thanks Andy - I did a quick search for the obvious keywords but didnt find what I was looking for. I will keep trying.

Thanks that looks promising. I need to show the complete installation from incomer to sub DBs on a single line diagram. Tried googling but got all kinds of results. I guess its mainly the symbols I need.

AFAIAA there aren;t really any (or many) symbols used. All the ones I've seen are literally boxes connected with lines. The boxes have things written in them and the lines have the size and type written by them. For DB's and CU's the boxes are often divided into several ways.

I have found a load of symbols in GN1 that should suffice. Just things like Fuses, Isolators, MCBs, Metering etc. I spent most of the evening tring to find an 8 way 300A DB but could only find a 250A one so juggled the circuits around to get the MD down to less than 250A (it was only 256A) so moved a 10A circuit to a different phase.

So I now have all the distribution equipt sorted - Merlin Gerin so just a matter of setting out the components and making sure of things like discrimination and adequate breaking capacity. Then I will be ready to do the line diagram.

Hopefully be ready to send the completed project off by the weekend.

Be interested in seeing that when you've done as it sounds much better than anything I have ever seen!

Most of it is on the PC, I can't post the drawings etc but would be happy to put the main document somewhere. It is a Word Doc. The whole package includes the drawings/copies with circuits marked and routes etc, manufacturers data for things like PVs inverters, and distribution equipment. I also had to get data sheets for every type of fitting to avoid having to multiply lamp watts by 1.8. All in all the whole thing will fill a ring binder.

Sounds like a plan.

Sounds more like a thesis......................

My old lecturer used to teach and mark this course, He said it took days just to mark one students work. ?:| :coat

I wouldnt be able to post anything until I knew the course was over and the next course had been set. Otherwise any potential student of this course could use my work (it might all be wrong!)

 

[revjames]

errr just read the question again and it is asking for a block diagram - any ideas?

revjames,

Is it the 2391-20 (old 2400) project?

If so I'll look up what diagrams I did in my project (passed) a few yeras ago if you want.

2 storey shop stores upstairs.

I have it in MS Word & pdf, as a complete project in one document 322 pages including supplementary information!

I'd rather not post the whole thing as that would be wrong!

[revjames]

That would be fantastic Paul. I'll PM my email address. Just the info on the block diagram will be fine. Its a different assignment now with a large community centre. I am nearly done and will be glad when I have submitted it. Been on the go since last October!

 

[netblindpaul]

You have mail.

Paul.

 

[kablue2000]

Hello Paul is there any chance you could forward the diagram to me would be most appreciated!!!!

You not submitted yours yet then? sent mine off a couple weeks ago.
