WORKING
PRINCIPLE
The refrigeration cycle begins with the
compressor compressing the refrigerant into a
high-pressure,high-temperaturegas.
This hot gas then releases heat through the
condensercoil,becomingahigh-pressureliquid.
The liquid refrigerant then passes through the
expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and
temperature.
As a cold, low-pressure refrigerant, it absorbs
heat from the indoor air via the evaporator coil,
coolingtheair.
Finally, the cooled air is blown back into the
room, and the refrigerant, now a low-pressure
gas, returns to the compressor to repeat the
cycle.

ENERGY EFFICIENT & LATEST INNOVATIONS
Air Intake:
Warm air from the room is drawn into the unit through an intake typically located at the bottom of
the unit.
Evaporator Coil (Heat Absorption):
● The warm indoor air passes over the evaporator coil, which contains cold refrigerant.
● Heat from the indoor air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing it to evaporate from a liquid to a
gas state.
Compressor (Heat Transfer):
● The gaseous refrigerant is then compressed by the compressor.
● Compression increases the refrigerant pressure and temperature significantly.
Condenser Coil (Heat Release):
● The high-pressure, high-temperature gas travels to the condenser coil.
● Here, the refrigerant releases the absorbed heat to the outside air.
● As a result, the refrigerant condenses back into a liquid state.
Air Distribution:
● The cooled air is then blown back into the room through the front vents of the floor-mounted AC
unit.
● This process provides a comfortable indoor environment by lowering the temperature.
Moisture Removal:
● As the evaporator coil cools the indoor air, moisture in the air condenses on the coil.
● The condensed moisture (water) is collected and drained away from the unit, reducing indoor
humidity levels.
FLOOR MOUNTED AIR CONDITIONER
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Floor-standing air conditioners are cooling appliances that are typically
mounted (or positioned) on or near the floor. Unlike wall-mounted units, which
are affixed higher up on walls, floor-standing ACs are placed closer to the
ground. These units are particularly popular in homes with limited wall space or
high ceilings as positioning makes them easy to access and maintain.

APPLICATION OF INVERTERS/SMART FEATURES:
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
A packaged system refers to a unit that contains all the components
needed for heating and cooling in a single compact unit. These systems
are commonly used in commercial buildings and smaller residential
spaces where space is a premium or where a more streamlined
installation is desired. Packaged units are available in various capacities,
typically ranging from 3 to 15 tons.
WHY A PACKAGED SYSTEM ?
Space is the main reason to install a packaged unit system. There’s no
need to have a utility closet for the furnace, nor does it take up space in
the attic or basement. They’re usually installed on the roofs of commercial
buildings or on the side of a house.
Since all the parts are outside in one box, these systems are easier to
maintain. They also have a lower installation cost for the same reason.
Packaged units are also quieter inside since all the parts are outside.
They can also be a lot more powerful than split units. Packaged units are
the go-to choice for large buildings like restaurants, hotels, and
warehouses.
DISADVANTAGES OF A PACKAGED SYSTEM
Packaged units are often installed on roofs, adding complexity to
maintenance depending on the type and slope of the roof. In India, the
climate can exacerbate these challenges. Should your unit develop a
leak, it could cause water damage to your roof or attic space. These units
are also more susceptible to weather damage since everything is
outdoors. In India’s varied climate, rust can set in faster, and a packaged
unit might make an attractive home for small animals or birds. Regular
inspection and maintenance are essential to address these issues.
PACKAGED A/C UNITS
WORKING PRINCIPLES
AIR-COOLED PACKAGE UNITS
Air-cooled package units
• Compression: ·Packaged air-cooled systems operate by compressing
refrigerant gas.
• Condensation: Refrigerant gas is then condensed to release heat
outside and evaporated to absorb heat from indoor air.
• Increase in Temperature & Pressure:The cycle begins with the
compressor raising the refrigerant's pressure and temperature.
• Liquidation: The refrigerant then passes through the condenser,
where ambient air cools it, transforming it into a liquid.
• Evaporation: This liquid moves to the evaporator, absorbing heat
from indoor air, and the cycle repeats.
PACKAGED A/C UNITS
WORKING PRINCIPLES
Water cooled package units
• Air Intake: The evaporator fan draws warm air from the space.
• Heat Exchange: The air passes over the evaporator coil, where

Central Air ConditioningSystems
There are two types of central air conditioning systems: Direct Expansion (DX) type of central air conditioning plants and Chilled Water
type. In the DX system, the air used to cool the room or space is directly passed over the cooling coil of the refrigeration plant. In the case
of the chilled water system, the refrigeration system is used first to chill the water, which is then used to chill the air used for cooling the
rooms or spaces.
A Direct Expansion (DX) central air conditioning plant cools spaces by using refrigerant in the cooling coil of the air handling unit (AHU).
Here, the air is directly chilled by the refrigerant, making the system efficient for smaller areas or single-floor buildings. The system consists of
three main parts:
1.Plant Room: Houses the compressor and other mechanical components.
2.Air Handling Unit (AHU) Room: Contains the cooling coils and fans to distribute chilled air.
3.Air Conditioned Room: The space where the cooled air is delivered and used.
DX
Chilled Water Central Air Conditioning System
In chilled water plants, water or brine is chilled to 6-8°C by a refrigeration plant. This chilled water is pumped to various parts of the building where
air handling units (AHUs) cool the air and distribute it.
Central Air Conditioning Plant Room:
Houses the refrigeration plant that chills the
water or brine solution.
Contain the cooling coil, blower, and ducts.; Chilled water flows
through the cooling coil.; The blower pulls return air from rooms,
cools it via the cooling coil, and distributes it back.
Cools the water used in the
refrigeration process.
Air-Conditioned Rooms:
Receive cooled air from the
AHUs.Warm air is returned
to the AHU rooms via ducts
for recooling
Direct Expansion
• Direct expansion, or DX cooling, uses the principles of thermodynamics to
transfer heat from one area to another through the evaporation and
condensation of a refrigerant, which serves as the medium through which
heat is captured and removed from one area and released in another.
Working Principle
• At the condenser, heat is removed and released into
the outside air, turning the refrigerant from a gas into
a high-pressure liquid.
• Heat removal can be done by air (condenser fan) or
water (cooling tower).
• The compressor in a DX system can be:
1. Pistons (reciprocating) or rollers (rotary screw)
2. Air-cooled (semi-hermetically sealed) or water-
cooled (open type)
3. Open compressors can be driven by a motor
shaft (direct drive) or a pulley setup (belt
drive)
• Refrigerant leaves the condenser as a high-pressure
liquid, reaching the expansion valve at the fan coil
unit (FCU).
• The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant
into the evaporator coil in the FCU.
• Refrigerant enters the evaporator coil in a low-
pressure, low-temperature state.
• Hot air from the conditioned room is blown over the
evaporator coil by the evaporator/indoor fan.
• The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and
expands, cooling the air before it is blown back into
the room.
• Cool air is blown into the room and the room’s
temperature decreases.

Application In Buildings
• Household cooling: DX cooling systems are
extensively used in homes to maintain
comfortable indoor temperatures during hot
weather. Split air conditioning systems,
ductless mini-splits, and window air
conditioners are popular choices for cooling
individual rooms or entire residences.
• Commercial cooling: in commercial spaces
such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and
hotels, DX cooling helps to create a
comfortable environment for employees,
customers, and guests. Packaged rooftop units
and VRF systems are often used to meet the
diverse cooling needs of commercial buildings.
• Industrial cooling: large industrial facilities
rely on DX cooling systems to control
temperatures in manufacturing processes,
production areas, and equipment rooms. These
systems help ensure the efficient operation of
machinery and prevent overheating.
• Data centers and server rooms: data
centers, server rooms, and network closets
require precise temperature control to
safeguard critical computer servers and
networking equipment. DX cooling systems
are indispensable for maintaining stable and
cool conditions in these environments.
• Specialised applications: DX cooling also
has applications in unique settings like
laboratories, medical facilities, and
cleanrooms, where maintaining specific
temperature and humidity conditions is
crucial for research, medical procedures, and
manufacturing processes.

air nozzles that induce room air into the beam, where it passes over the cooling or
heating coil.
Passive chilled beams rely solely on natural convection. They consist of a cooling or
heating coil without any mechanical fans or air supply systems.
Water Supply System Chilled l Heated
This system supplies cold water to the chilled beams for cooling. The water is typically cooled to around 14-18°C (57-64°F).
Warm water is supplied to the chilled beams. The temperature of the warm water varies based on the heating requirements of the space.
Control Systems Thermostats l Valves l Sensors
Ductwork (for active systems)
Distributes air from the AHU to the active chilled beams. It is designed to minimize pressure drops and noise while ensuring efficient air
delivery.
Thermostats regulate the temperature by
controlling the flow of water through the chilled
beams based on the desired setpoint.
Valves control the flow of chilled or heated water
into the heat exchangers. They can be modulating
or on/off types, depending on the system design.
Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and other
environmental parameters to ensure optimal
performance and prevent issues like condensation.
Cool Air Falls: Cool air from the room descends towards the floor.
Heat Exchange: The cool air passes over the chilled beam's heat exchanger, where
heated water transfers warmth to the air.
Warmed Air Rises: The warmed air rises and circulates throughout the room.
Warm Air Rises: Warm air from the room rises towards the ceiling.
Heat Exchange: The warm air passes over the chilled beam's heat exchanger, where
chilled water absorbs the heat from the air.
Cooled Air Descends: The cooled air descends back into the room, creating a
continuous convective cycle.

ELECTRICAL CONDUIT
An electrical conduit is a protective tubing used to route and safeguard electrical wiring in
buildings and other structures. It shields the wires from physical damage, moisture, and
other environmental hazards, while also organizing the wiring system for ease of
maintenance and upgrades.
Why Electrical conduits?
To provide very good protection to enclosed conductors from impacts, moistures
and chemical vapors.

TYPES OF ELECTRICAL CONDUITS
Metallic Electrical Conduits
Non Metallic Electrical Conduits
METALLIC ELECTRICAL CONDUIT
Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC):
RMC is composed of heavyweight galvanized steel and installed with
threaded fittings. Known for being very strong, RMC is unfortunately one of
the more expensive electrical conduits when it comes to both materials and
labor. Aluminum is another material used for RMC, and may have additional
coating applied to better resist corrosion
Advantages Disadvantages
·Durability: It can withstand impact
and extreme temperatures.
·Corrosion Resistance: ideal for
environments with moisture or
cleaning chemicals.
·Fire Safety: Excellent fire safety by
protecting the wiring from fire
hazards.
·Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Shielding: Metal conduits can
shield sensitive circuits from
electromagnetic interference.
·Recyclability: Rigid metal conduits
are recyclable.
·Ease of Installation: RMC can be
easily cut and fabricated to fit
specific installation requirements.
·Cost: The upfront cost of
purchasing and installing rigid
metal conduits is higher.
·Weight: RMC is which may require
more labour for installation.
·Corrosion Issues: galvanized steel
can rust if not properly
maintained.
·Installation Complexity: require
special tools for bending and
installation.
·Limited Flexibility: RMC is not
designed for applications requiring
frequent movement or
adjustments.
Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Maximum Diameter: 6 inches (152.4 mm)
Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)
Galvanized Rigid Steel (GRC):
Approved for indoor and outdoor applications, GRC is made from steel and is
traditionally found in industrial and commercial applications, GRC has been a
long-time industry standard and benefits from impressive impact resistance, as well
as UV-stability and the ability to protect from EMI (electromagnetic interference).
Unfortunately, its heavy weight and poor field handling make GRC particularly
expensive to install and it can be highly susceptible to corrosion. GRC’s conductivity
makes it susceptible to fault conditions in which the conduit and wire may weld
together.
Advantages Disadvantages
·Temperate: Superior physical
protection against impact at all
temperatures.
·Deflection: Deflects nails and
screws and doesn't stretch or tear.
·Strength: Demonstrates high
durability and yield/tensile
strengths.
·Corrosion Resistance: Offers
exceptional corrosion resistance.
·Conductivity: Provides an effective
ground fault current path.
·Reduces EMF by up to 95% at
power frequencies.
·Expandability: Has a compatible
coefficient of expansion with most
construction materials.
·Has a smooth interior that makes
it easier to pull cables through.
·Weight: Heavier than Electrical
Metal Conduit (EMC) and requires
more support, with a maximum
interval of 10 feet.
·Refining: All rough edges must be
smoothened when the conduit is
cut.
Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch
(12.7 mm)
Maximum Diameter: 6 inches
(152.4 mm)
Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05
meters)
Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC):
Approved for the same applications as RMC, IMC is a steel conduit that is slightly
lighter than RMC and rated for outdoor use. It can be more cost-effective than RMC,
available threaded or unthreaded, and may or may not be coated. Compared to
GRC and RMC, IMC has much thinner walls that can handle more wire fill but is more
susceptible to kink. IMC only goes up to 4 inches in trade sizes, so it is
significantly smaller than other conduits.
Advantages Disadvantages
·Temperate: Superior physical
protection against impact at all
temperatures.
·Deflection: Deflects nails and
screws and doesn't stretch or tear.
·Strength: Demonstrates high
durability and yield/tensile
strengths.
·Corrosion Resistance: Offers
exceptional corrosion resistance.
·Conductivity: Provides an effective
ground fault current path.
·Reduces EMF by up to 95% at
power frequencies.
·Expandability: Has a compatible
coefficient of expansion with most
construction materials.
·Has a smooth interior that makes
it easier to pull cables through.
·Weight: Heavier than Electrical
Metal Conduit (EMC) and requires
more support, with a maximum
interval of 10 feet.
·Refining: All rough edges must be
smoothened when the conduit is
cut.
Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Maximum Diameter: 4 inches (101.6 mm)
Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT):
Thin-walled and unthreaded, EMT is typically made of coated steel and used in
place of GRC in commercial and industrial applications, though it is commonly found
in residential applications as well. It can also be made of aluminum and is approved
for use in concrete but is not permitted to be installed where subject to physical
damage. EMT is not able to offer the same level of protection as GRC. It is easily
bent but can not be field threaded because of its thinness. Common trade sizes run
from .5 inch to 1.5 inches.
·Durability and Strength: Excellent
mechanical protection for
electrical wiring. It is resistant to
impact and can withstand harsh
environmental conditions.
·Lightweight and Easy to Handle:
Simple installation and handling.
It’s possible save time and labour
costs.
·Corrosion Resistance: The
galvanization process used in EMT
manufacturing helps protect it
from corrosion.
·Fire Safety: Being made of metal,
EMT is non-combustible.
·Aesthetic Appeal: EMT can be
installed in a way that is less
obtrusive than other types of
conduits.
Advantages Disadvantages
·Higher Initial Cost: EMT ismetallic
conduits, both in terms of material
costs and installation.
·Installation Complexity: The
installation process can still be
complex. It requires specific tools
for cutting and bending.
·Limited Flexibility: EMT is rigid and
does not allow for easy
reconfiguration once installed.
·Potential for Corrosion: EMT can
still corrode if the protective
coating is damaged. This is
particularly a concern in highly
corrosive environments.
·Weight: While lighter than some
other metal conduits, EMT is still
heavier than non-metallic options.
Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Maximum Diameter: 4 inches (101.6 mm)
Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)
NON-METALLIC ELECTRICAL CONDUIT:
Rigid Nonmetallic Conduit (RNC):
Non-metallic, unthreaded, smooth-walled tubing is available in multiple substrates
including high-density polyethylene, PVC, and RTRC (fiberglass). The capabilities and
specs vary by substrate but several forms of RNC are approved for underground or
direct burial use.
Advantages Disadvantages
Corrosion Resistance: resistant to
corrosion, making them suitable
for environments exposed to
moisture
Moisture Protection: They provide
excellent protection against
moisture.
Lightweight and Easy to Install:
Non-metallic conduits are lighter
than their metallic counterparts.
Cost-Effectiveness: non-metallic
conduits are less expensive than
metallic options.
Flexibility: Many non-metallic
conduits come in flexible forms,
which allows for easy routing
around obstacles.
Lower Temperature
Resistance: Non-metallic
conduits typically have lower
resistance to high
temperatures.
1.
Lack of Electrical Grounding:
conduits do not provide
grounding or shielding for
electrical systems.
2.
Potential for Mechanical
Damage: non-metallic conduits
can be more susceptible to
mechanical damage.
3.
UV Sensitivity: can degrade
when exposed to direct
sunlight over time.
4.
Aesthetics: The appearance of
non-metallic conduits may not
be as visually appealing as
concealed wiring systems.
5.
Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Maximum Diameter: 6 inches (152.4 mm)
Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)
RTRC Conduit:
RTRC (reinforced thermosetting resin conduit) is a high-strength, high-
temperature resistant fiberglass conduit made by winding and curing resin-
impregnated fiberglass strands. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, UV
stability, and temperature range, retaining its shape after impact. RTRC is lighter
than traditional conduits, reducing installation labor costs, and is affordable.
Phenolic RTRC meets NFPA 130 for low smoke, no flame, zero halogen, and 2-
hour fire-rated conduit in Class I Div 2 areas. Preferred for utility and data center
projects, fiberglass conduit elbows offer low friction, no burn-through, and fault
resistance.
Advantages Disadvantages
Higher Cost: More expensive
than alternatives like PVC or
EMT.
Installation Limitations: Cannot
be bent in the field; requires
specific fittings.
Joint Setting Time: Epoxy joints
need time to cure, which can
delay projects.
Grounding Requirements: May
need a separate bonding
conductor for grounding.
Aesthetic Concerns: May not be
visually appealing in residential
settings
Lightweight: Easier and
cheaper to install due to
reduced labor costs.
Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for
moist and chemical
environments.
Durability: Provides good
protection against impact and
moisture.
Design Flexibility: Allows
multiple conductors in a single
conduit.
Fire Safety: Meets certain fire
safety standards.
Versatile Applications: Suitable
for both indoor and outdoor
use
PVC Conduit:
Available in varying wall thicknesses and threaded, PVC is light and commonly used
for applications requiring non-metal electrical conduit. PVC conduit is not
recommended for use in direct sunlight due to poor UV stability. It is relatively easy
to heat and field bend with the use of a hotbox conduit bender, but must be
mounted to allow for expansion and contraction due to a high coefficient of thermal
expansion, and may deform after installation in environments that are too hot.
Traditionally PVC has been an inexpensive conduit, however, in recent years it has
become more expensive and harder to source, due to ongoing supply chain issues. In
these cases, American-made RTRC is often substituted.
Advantages Disadvantages
·Lightweight and easy to install
·Resistant to corrosion and many
highly corrosive chemicals
·Waterproof and ideal for wet
areas in industrial and commercial
structures
·Electrically insulated
·Flexible or semi-flexible, making it
easy to bend and install
·Explosion-proof and insect
resistant
·Typically, less expensive than
other options
·Availablity in a variety of wall
thicknesses and colours
·Provides good protection from
moisture ingress
·Not resistant to high
temperatures
·Vulnerable to bite from animals
·Vulnerable to microbial attack
·Lower structural strength
compared to metal conduits
·Needs to be supported when
installed in longer runs due to
sagging
·Not recommended for use in
areas of direct sun exposure as
sunlight can break down the
material over time
·Flexibility: Easy installation
without the need for special tools.
·Lightweight: lighter than metal
conduits, making it easier to
transport and install.
·Fire Resistance: ENT has been
tested for fire resistance and is
safe in construction and usage.
·Corrosion Resistance: The non-
metallic nature of ENT means it
does not rust.
·Moisture Resistance: ENT is
moisture resistant.
·Safety: The insulation properties
of ENT provide excellent electrical
safety, reducing the risk of
electrical hazards.
·Rigidity Compared to Metal: While
ENT is flexible, it is not as rigid as
metal conduits.
·Sunlight Resistance: ENT can
degrade when exposed to direct
sunlight for extended periods.
·Durability: Metal conduits have a
longer lifespan under normal
conditions.
·Code Compliance Issues: In some
regions, ENT is primarily used for
low-voltage applications.
·Installation Challenges: While ENT
is easy to install, the associated
fittings and connectors may not be
as flexible.
Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing (ENT):
Thin-walled and corrugated, ENT (electrical nonmetallic tubing) is flame retardant
but not fire rated. It is not approved for use in exposed locations but is commonly
used inside walls or within concrete blocks. Known for its extreme flexibility ENT can
be field bent by hand without requiring any special tools or the application of heat.
ENT is available in PVC in trade sizes up to 2 inches. Its support spacing is limited to
3 feet and within 3 feet of terminations.
Advantages Disadvantages

which can be a single large panel or a collection of smaller electrical panels. The board's
primary function is to regulate electrical current.
It takes the large amount of power that is being given to it and splits it up into
manageable amounts that may be sent to individual gadgets. To be more specific,
transformers, panels, and other devices receive electricity from switchboards before
being distributed further.
SWITCHBOARDS
RESIDENTIAL SWITCHBOARDS
A switchboard is a piece of electrical equipment that allows power to be transferred from one location to another. A vital
part of the power transmission and distribution system. Several electric panels compose it.

They are responsible for receiving and
distributing power from the main electrical
supply to all the different sub-circuits within a
building or facility. Main switchboards are
typically located in a central location and are
designed to handle high-voltage power.
distribute power to a specific area or floor
within a building. They receive power from
the main switchboard and distribute it to
different sub-circuits. Commonly used in
larger buildings with multiple levels.
Distributes power to end-use devices and
fixtures. Includes MCBs and sometimes
RCBOs for individual circuits like rooms or
specific appliances.Usually found within
individual rooms or specific sections of
the house.
POWER SUPPLY
MAIN SWITCH
BUSBARS
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
RCDs OR GFCIs
METERS
ISOLATORS
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The electric switchboard is connected to the main power
supply, which is typically provided by the utility company
through a service entrance. The incoming power is
typically high voltage and needs to be stepped down
using transformers before entering the switchboard.
The main switch, often located at the top or side of the
switchboard, allows you to control the entire power
supply to the building. It is a large circuit breaker that can
be manually operated to connect or disconnect the
electricity.
Busbars are conductive metal bars or strips that
distribute electrical power within the switchboard. The
main busbar receives power from the main switch and
distributes it to individual circuit breakers
Circuit breakers monitor the current flowing through the
circuit, and if it excceds safe limits or a fault is detected,
the circuit breaker trips and interrupts the flow of
electricity, effectively disconnecting the circuit from the
power supply. This prevents damage and reduces the risk
of electrical hazards.
RCDs, also known as GP Cl, are safety devices typically
installed in switchboards. They constantly monitor the
flow of electrical current in the circuits. If they deteet an
imbalance between the incoming and outgoing current,
indicating a leakage or fault, the RCD/GFCI quickly cuts off
the power supply, reducing the risk of electric shocks or
fires.
Some switchboards may include meters to measure and
monitor the consumption of electricity. These meters
provide information about energy usage, allowing for
accurate billing and monitoring of powerƢconsumption.
Isolators are manual switches used to disconnect specifie
circuits or electrical equipment from the power supply.
They are often used during maintenance or repairs to
ensure the safcty of technicians working on the circuits.
PLACEMENT AND FUNCTION
Switchboards are usually placed near the main electrical panel of a residence in India. The
main panel is responsible for receiving electricity from the power grid and distributing it to
different circuits within the house. The switchboard is connected to the main panel and
acts as a central point for the distribution of electricity to different appliances and fixtures
in the house.
The main function of a switchboard is to safely and efficiently direct the flow of electricity
to different circuits in the house. It consists of a series of circuit breakers or switches which
can be easily turned on and off to control the flow of electricity. This allows residents to
conveniently and safely turn off power to specific circuits in case of an emergency or for
maintenance purposes.
PURPOSE AND USAGE
The main purpose of a switchboard is to ensure safe and efficient distribution of electricity in a residence. As mentioned earlier, it acts as a
central point for controlling the flow of electricity to different circuits in the house. This allows for better organization and management of
electricity usage, resulting in increased safety and cost-efficiency.
Switchboards also serve as a safety measure against electrical overloads and short circuits. These devices are equipped with circuit
breakers that are designed to detect abnormal levels of electricity flow and cut off the power supply to prevent damage or accidents. This
adds an additional layer of protection to the electrical system of a residence.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
The selection of a switchboard for a residential setting in India should be based on several factors, including the size of the house, the
number of circuits required, and the level of electricity consumption. It is important to select a switchboard that can handle the expected
load and has spare capacity for any future additions to the electrical system.
One of the key criteria for selecting a switchboard is its ampere rating. This determines the amount of electricity that can safely pass
through the switchboard. To accurately determine the appropriate ampere rating, a calculation based on the total expected load in the
house should be done. This involves adding up the wattage of all appliances and fixtures that will be connected to the switchboard.

Branch Circuits and End-Use
COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION BOARDS -
Electrical power enters the building from the
utility service or a step-down transformer
that reduces high voltage to a safer, usable
level for the building.
The power is first routed through the Main
Distribution Board , where it is controlled by
the main circuit breaker.The MCB serves as a
primary safety device, capable of
disconnecting the supply.
Inside MDB, busbars are large conductive bars
typically made of copper or aluminum that
distribute the incoming electrical power to
various outgoing circuits. and manage high
current loads.
From the busbars, power flows to individual
circuit breakers, which are crucial for
protecting the electrical circuits. Circuit
breakers automatically disconnect if they
detect an overload.
These devices detect ground faults or earth
leakages and disconnect the power to prevent
electric shocks and reduce fire risks.
SPDs protect the electrical system and
connected equipment from transient voltage
spikes, such as those caused by lightning
strikes or power surges, by diverting excess
voltage safely to the ground.
Power from the MDB is further distributed to
Sub-Distribution Boards (SDBs) located
throughout the building. SDBs manage and
protect electrical distribution to specific
areas,floors,or departments.
From the MDB or SDBs, electricity is distributed
to branch circuits, which supply power to
specific end-use equipments and devices, such
as lighting fixtures, HVAC systems & office
equipment.

efficiency
Efficiency generally means a solar panel will pay back the embodied energy (energy used to extract the raw materials and manufacture the solar panel) in less time like sillicon panels who
repay the embodied energy within two years, depending on the location.
If panel efficiency has increased beyond 20%, payback time has reduced to less than 1.5 years in many locations.
Increased efficiency also means a solar system will generate more electricity over a solar panel's average 20+ year life and repay the upfront cost sooner, meaning the
return on investment (ROI) will be improved.
FASTER PAYBACK
AREA : Higher efficiency panels generate more energy per square meter and thus require less overall area. For example 12 x 300W panels at 17.5% efficiency = 3,600 W
12 x 440W panels at 22.5% efficiency = 5,280 W

area for solar panels, you can theoretically put 34 400-watt solar panels on a 1000
sq ft roof.
Standard sizes and spaces for solar panels
How many watts per square foot can a solar panel generate?
Dividing the specified wattage by the square footage of the solar panel will give us just
this result:
The average solar panel output per area is 17.25 watts per square foot.
Max. Size Solar System = 500 Sq Ft Roof × 17.25 Watts / Sq Ft = 8.625 kW

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using
photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited
electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and
produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various
devices or be stored in batteries.
How Solar Panels Work
Sunlight Absorption:
Photon Interaction: When sunlight (photons) hits the solar cells, it
knocks electrons loose from their atoms within the semiconductor
material.
Electric Current Generation:
Photovoltaic Effect: This movement of electrons creates an electric
current. Metal conductive plates on the sides of the cell collect the
electrons and transfer them to wires.
Electricity Flow:
Direct Current (DC): The flow of electrons generates DC electricity, whi
can be used immediately or converted to alternating current (AC) using
an inverter for compatibility with the electric grid or household
appliances.

Components of Solar Panels
Solar Cells:
Photovoltaic Cells: The basic building blocks
of solar panels, solar cells are made from
semiconductor materials that convert
sunlight into electrical energy through the
photovoltaic effect.
Glass Cover:
Protective Layer: The top layer of a solar
panel is a durable glass cover that protects
the solar cells from environmental elements
like rain, hail, and dirt.
Encapsulant:
Sealing and Protection: This layer surrounds
the solar cells, providing an adhesive layer
that secures the cells in place and protects
them from moisture and other environmental
factors.
Frame:
Structural Support: Typically made of aluminum, the
frame provides structural integrity and makes it easier
to mount the solar panel.
Back Sheet: Protection from the Rear: The back sheet is
the bottom layer of the panel, which protects the cells
from environmental damage and helps in insulation.
Junction Box: Electrical Connections: Located on the
back of the panel, the junction box contains the
electrical connections and often includes diodes to
prevent backflow of current.

HOW MUCH SOLAR ENERGY ?
SOLAR ENERGY ?
The surface receives about 47% of the total solar energy that reaches the Earth. Only this amount is usable.
How Does Solar Power Work on a House?
How Does Solar Power Work on a House?
When sunlight hits a solar panel, an electric charge is created
through the photovoltaic effect or PV effect (more on that
below)
The solar panel feeds this electric charge into inverters, which
change it from direct current (DC) into alternate current (AC)
electricity
The AC electricity runs through your electrical panel and is
distributed throughout your home — just like grid energy
Excess solar energy is stored in batteries or pushed onto the
grid to power local systems (like your neighbor’s house!)
Through net metering, solar owners get credit for the excess
energy they put on the grid to offset the grid energy they pull
off the grid when their panels aren’t producing
With battery storage, solar owners can store excess production
to power their homes at night
How does solar power work? The photovoltaic effect
How does solar power work? The photovoltaic effect
Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity through
the photovoltaic (PV) effect, which is why they’re
often referred to as PV panels.
The photovoltaic effect occurs when photons from
the sun’s rays hit the semiconductive material
(typically silicon) in the cell of the solar module. The
photons activate electrons, causing them to free
themselves from the semiconductive material.
The free electrons flow through the solar cells,
down wires along the edge of the panel, and into a
junction box as direct current (DC).
This current travels from the solar panel to an
inverter, where it is changed into alternative current
(AC) that can be used to power homes and
buildings.
How is solar energy used to power your home?
How is solar energy used to power your home?
Most home solar systems are “grid-tied” meaning
that the solar system, home electrical system, and
local utility grid are all interconnected, typically
through the main electrical service panel.
Connecting these systems means you can power
your home with solar electricity during the day and
grid electricity at night. It also means your solar
system can push excess electricity onto the local
grid to power surrounding systems, like your
neighbor’s house.
Through net metering, you earn credit for excess
solar production that can be used to offset the grid
electricity you use at night.

WHAT IS SOLAR PANELS
A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of
materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce
direct current (DC) electricity
Monocrystalline panels are the most
advanced of the three types. They are
made from pure silicon, which makes
them the most expensive. The
Czochralski method is used, where a
silicon crystal is placed in molten silicon,
slowly extracted, and allowed to harden
into an ingot. This ingot is then sliced into
thin wafers and assembled into panels.
Monocrystalline cells have a square
shape with rounded edges and gaps
between them, appearing black due to
the pure silicon. You can choose different
colors for the frames and back sheets
1.Monocrystalline Solar Panels
The higher efficiency rating of
monocrystalline panels makes them
ideal for homes with limited roof space,
as you'll need fewer panels to generate
the electricity you need.
Polycrystalline panels are becoming
popular due to their efficiency and cost-
effectiveness. Unlike Monocrystalline
panels, they are made from silicon
fragments rather than a single crystal. The
silicon fragments melt together in molten
silicon, then cool and fragment in their
mold. After cooling, the silicon is sliced
into wafers and assembled into panels.
Polycrystalline cells appear blue when
sunlight reflects off them, and the panels
are square-shaped with no gaps. Frames
typically come in silver.
2.Polycrystalline Solar Panels
They are used in large solar farms to
harness the power of the sun and
supply electricity to nearby areas. They
are used in standalone or self-powered
devices such as traffic lights in remote
areas, off-grid households, etc.
Thin-Film panels are the newest and
most versatile. They are made from
various materials, including copper
indium gallium selenide (CIGS),
cadmium telluride (CdTe), and
amorphous silicon (a-Si). The material is
sandwiched between thin conductive
layers with a protective glass top layer.
Thin-Film panels are about 350 times
thinner than silicon wafer panels.
Despite their thinness, they can have
large frames similar to other types, and
their color depends on the material
used, usually appearing black or blue.
3.Thin-Film Solar Panels
Sheets of thin-films may be used to
generate electricity increasingly in places
where other photovoltaic cells cannot be
used, such as on curved surfaces on
buildings or cars or even on clothing to
charge handheld devices.

Why Solar Energy?
•Solar energy is available through out the days in most of the year.
•Its free of cost.
•It's a renewable source of energy.
•Solar cells do not produce noise and they are totally silent.
•They have long life time
•They require very little maintenance as there is no moving parts.
Why Solar panel is not much used?
• Solar power cannot be obtained at night.
• Solar cells (or) solar panels are very expensive
• Air pollution and whether can affect the production of electricity
• They need large area of land to produce more efficient power supply
• Due to PV efficiency and low market demand, technological progression is slow.
• Large land areas needed to produce energy on a power plant scale
• Lack of subsidies and tax credits in India.
• Lack of awareness about the benefits of solar energy towards environment.
Solar Panel: A solar panel is a set of solar photovoltaie modules electrically
connected and mounted on a supporting structure which generates electricity
using solar energy
Inverter: Since the electricity generated by solar energy is direct current
(DC), and most household appliances require alternating current (AC), an
inverter is necessary to change the current from direct current (D/C) to
alternating current (A/C).
Battery (for off grid system):
It is used to store electricity so that it can be used as a back up power when
the panel is unable to produce electricity.
•Net Metering (for grid tie system:
A measuring meter which will calculate how much energy you have taken from
the grid and also supplied to the grid.
Solar Charge Controller:
• Controls the flow of electricity between the module, battery, and the loads.
• Prevents battery damage by ensuring that the battery is operating within its
normal charge levels.
• If the charge level in the battery falls below a certain level, a
"low voltage disconnect (LVD) will cut the current to the loads, to prevent
further discharge.
• Likewise, it will also cut the current from the module in cases of overcharging.

What is Generator?
Electric generators, also known as dynamos is an
electric machine that converts mechanical energy
into electrical energy.
The electric generator’s mechanical energy is
usually provided by steam turbines, gas turbines,
and wind turbines.
Electrical generators provide nearly all the power
that is required for electric power grids.
The reverse conversion of electrical energy to
mechanical energy is done by an electric motor. .
How do Generators create Electricity?
Generators do not create electricity instead it uses the
mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of
electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an
external electric circuit.
This flow of electrons constitutes the output electric current
supplied by the generator.
The modern-day generators work on the principle of
electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday.
He realized that the above flow of current can be created by
moving an electrical conductor in a magnetic field.
This movement creates a voltage difference between the two
ends of the conductor which causes the electric charges to
flow, hence generating electric current.

Main Function
Generators provide electricity
during power cuts and load
shedding.
It is common in rural areas
during peak hours and severe
weather, ensuring uninterrupted
work.
Some facilities, like agricultural
farms, rely on generators for a
continuous power supply due to the
absence of power grids.
Standby generators, including
batteries and other gear, stay idle
during normal power supply but
activate during emergencies to
keep businesses, like hospitals,
running smoothly.
STOR (Short Term Operating
Reserve) generators help meet the
high electricity demand during peak
hours, providing emergency power
to support the grid and ensure
stability.
Essential for places without dedicated
power connections, such as construction
sites and remote event locations,
generators can power equipment, lighting,
and sound systems.
Smaller generators are also useful for
camping and trips.
Generators come in various types
and sizes, mainly providing
electricity to residential and
business facilities.
The bigger the number, the more appliances
they can power up at once.
A 5000-watt model is adequate for covering a
regular household.
Depends on your requirements, the size of
the place, and the number of tools you want
to run.

    WORKING PRINCIPLE The refrigeration cyclebegins with the compressor compressing the refrigerant into a high-pressure,high-temperaturegas. This hot gas then releases heat through the condensercoil,becomingahigh-pressureliquid. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, which reduces its pressure and temperature. As a cold, low-pressure refrigerant, it absorbs heat from the indoor air via the evaporator coil, coolingtheair. Finally, the cooled air is blown back into the room, and the refrigerant, now a low-pressure gas, returns to the compressor to repeat the cycle. 02 https://youtu.be/abcOV22bAfk?feature=shared&t=7

    Air Intake: Warm airfrom the room is drawn into the unit through an intake typically located at the bottom of the unit. Evaporator Coil (Heat Absorption): ● The warm indoor air passes over the evaporator coil, which contains cold refrigerant. ● Heat from the indoor air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing it to evaporate from a liquid to a gas state. Compressor (Heat Transfer): ● The gaseous refrigerant is then compressed by the compressor. ● Compression increases the refrigerant pressure and temperature significantly. Condenser Coil (Heat Release): ● The high-pressure, high-temperature gas travels to the condenser coil. ● Here, the refrigerant releases the absorbed heat to the outside air. ● As a result, the refrigerant condenses back into a liquid state. Air Distribution: ● The cooled air is then blown back into the room through the front vents of the floor-mounted AC unit. ● This process provides a comfortable indoor environment by lowering the temperature. Moisture Removal: ● As the evaporator coil cools the indoor air, moisture in the air condenses on the coil. ● The condensed moisture (water) is collected and drained away from the unit, reducing indoor humidity levels. FLOOR MOUNTED AIR CONDITIONER WORKING PRINCIPLE: Floor-standing air conditioners are cooling appliances that are typically mounted (or positioned) on or near the floor. Unlike wall-mounted units, which are affixed higher up on walls, floor-standing ACs are placed closer to the ground. These units are particularly popular in homes with limited wall space or high ceilings as positioning makes them easy to access and maintain.

    Daikin air conditioning- Cassette Type Cassette air conditioners are a type of split system air conditioning unit designed for installation in false ceilings. The indoor unit is mounted flush with the ceiling, with only a grille visible, while the outdoor unit is located externally Air Intake: Similar to floor-mounted units, warm air from the room is drawn into the unit. Evaporator Coil (Heat Absorption): ● Indoor air passes over the evaporator coil containing cold refrigerant. ● Heat from the indoor air is absorbed by the refrigerant, causing it to evaporate into a gas. Compressor (Heat Transfer): ● The gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor to increase its temperature and pressure. Condenser Coil (Heat Release): ● The high-pressure, high-temperature gas is then pumped to the condenser coil, usually located outside or in a different part of the building. Heat Dissipation: ● At the condenser coil, the refrigerant releases the absorbed heat to the outside air. ● This process causes the refrigerant to condense back into a liquid state. Air Distribution: ● Cooled air is distributed through multiple vents in the cassette unit's panel. ● These units are designed to provide uniform airflow distribution throughout the room, typically in a 4-way or 360-degree pattern. Moisture Removal: ● Similar to floor-mounted ACs, moisture condenses on the evaporator coil and is drained away to reduce indoor humidity. CASSETTE AIR CONDITIONER: WORKING PRINCIPLE:

    GENERAL INTRODUCTION A packagedsystem refers to a unit that contains all the components needed for heating and cooling in a single compact unit. These systems are commonly used in commercial buildings and smaller residential spaces where space is a premium or where a more streamlined installation is desired. Packaged units are available in various capacities, typically ranging from 3 to 15 tons. WHY A PACKAGED SYSTEM ? Space is the main reason to install a packaged unit system. There’s no need to have a utility closet for the furnace, nor does it take up space in the attic or basement. They’re usually installed on the roofs of commercial buildings or on the side of a house. Since all the parts are outside in one box, these systems are easier to maintain. They also have a lower installation cost for the same reason. Packaged units are also quieter inside since all the parts are outside. They can also be a lot more powerful than split units. Packaged units are the go-to choice for large buildings like restaurants, hotels, and warehouses. DISADVANTAGES OF A PACKAGED SYSTEM Packaged units are often installed on roofs, adding complexity to maintenance depending on the type and slope of the roof. In India, the climate can exacerbate these challenges. Should your unit develop a leak, it could cause water damage to your roof or attic space. These units are also more susceptible to weather damage since everything is outdoors. In India’s varied climate, rust can set in faster, and a packaged unit might make an attractive home for small animals or birds. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to address these issues. PACKAGED A/C UNITS

    Central Air ConditioningSystems Thereare two types of central air conditioning systems: Direct Expansion (DX) type of central air conditioning plants and Chilled Water type. In the DX system, the air used to cool the room or space is directly passed over the cooling coil of the refrigeration plant. In the case of the chilled water system, the refrigeration system is used first to chill the water, which is then used to chill the air used for cooling the rooms or spaces. A Direct Expansion (DX) central air conditioning plant cools spaces by using refrigerant in the cooling coil of the air handling unit (AHU). Here, the air is directly chilled by the refrigerant, making the system efficient for smaller areas or single-floor buildings. The system consists of three main parts: 1.Plant Room: Houses the compressor and other mechanical components. 2.Air Handling Unit (AHU) Room: Contains the cooling coils and fans to distribute chilled air. 3.Air Conditioned Room: The space where the cooled air is delivered and used.

    Direct Expansion • Directexpansion, or DX cooling, uses the principles of thermodynamics to transfer heat from one area to another through the evaporation and condensation of a refrigerant, which serves as the medium through which heat is captured and removed from one area and released in another. Working Principle • At the condenser, heat is removed and released into the outside air, turning the refrigerant from a gas into a high-pressure liquid. • Heat removal can be done by air (condenser fan) or water (cooling tower). • The compressor in a DX system can be: 1. Pistons (reciprocating) or rollers (rotary screw) 2. Air-cooled (semi-hermetically sealed) or water- cooled (open type) 3. Open compressors can be driven by a motor shaft (direct drive) or a pulley setup (belt drive) • Refrigerant leaves the condenser as a high-pressure liquid, reaching the expansion valve at the fan coil unit (FCU). • The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil in the FCU. • Refrigerant enters the evaporator coil in a low- pressure, low-temperature state. • Hot air from the conditioned room is blown over the evaporator coil by the evaporator/indoor fan. • The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and expands, cooling the air before it is blown back into the room. • Cool air is blown into the room and the room’s temperature decreases.

    CHILLED BEAM SYSTEM Achilled beam system is a type of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system that provides cooling and heating to a building. It is an energy-efficient technology that primarily utilizes water to control the temperature of the indoor environment. Chilled Beams INTRODUCTION Active l Passive COMPONENTS Active chilled beams include integrated air supply and heat exchange systems. They have air nozzles that induce room air into the beam, where it passes over the cooling or heating coil. Passive chilled beams rely solely on natural convection. They consist of a cooling or heating coil without any mechanical fans or air supply systems. Water Supply System Chilled l Heated This system supplies cold water to the chilled beams for cooling. The water is typically cooled to around 14-18°C (57-64°F). Warm water is supplied to the chilled beams. The temperature of the warm water varies based on the heating requirements of the space. Control Systems Thermostats l Valves l Sensors Ductwork (for active systems) Distributes air from the AHU to the active chilled beams. It is designed to minimize pressure drops and noise while ensuring efficient air delivery. Thermostats regulate the temperature by controlling the flow of water through the chilled beams based on the desired setpoint. Valves control the flow of chilled or heated water into the heat exchangers. They can be modulating or on/off types, depending on the system design. Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental parameters to ensure optimal performance and prevent issues like condensation.

    Galvanized Rigid Steel(GRC): Approved for indoor and outdoor applications, GRC is made from steel and is traditionally found in industrial and commercial applications, GRC has been a long-time industry standard and benefits from impressive impact resistance, as well as UV-stability and the ability to protect from EMI (electromagnetic interference). Unfortunately, its heavy weight and poor field handling make GRC particularly expensive to install and it can be highly susceptible to corrosion. GRC’s conductivity makes it susceptible to fault conditions in which the conduit and wire may weld together. Advantages Disadvantages ·Temperate: Superior physical protection against impact at all temperatures. ·Deflection: Deflects nails and screws and doesn't stretch or tear. ·Strength: Demonstrates high durability and yield/tensile strengths. ·Corrosion Resistance: Offers exceptional corrosion resistance. ·Conductivity: Provides an effective ground fault current path. ·Reduces EMF by up to 95% at power frequencies. ·Expandability: Has a compatible coefficient of expansion with most construction materials. ·Has a smooth interior that makes it easier to pull cables through. ·Weight: Heavier than Electrical Metal Conduit (EMC) and requires more support, with a maximum interval of 10 feet. ·Refining: All rough edges must be smoothened when the conduit is cut. Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) Maximum Diameter: 6 inches (152.4 mm) Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)
  • 60.
    Intermediate Metal Conduit(IMC): Approved for the same applications as RMC, IMC is a steel conduit that is slightly lighter than RMC and rated for outdoor use. It can be more cost-effective than RMC, available threaded or unthreaded, and may or may not be coated. Compared to GRC and RMC, IMC has much thinner walls that can handle more wire fill but is more susceptible to kink. IMC only goes up to 4 inches in trade sizes, so it is significantly smaller than other conduits. Advantages Disadvantages ·Temperate: Superior physical protection against impact at all temperatures. ·Deflection: Deflects nails and screws and doesn't stretch or tear. ·Strength: Demonstrates high durability and yield/tensile strengths. ·Corrosion Resistance: Offers exceptional corrosion resistance. ·Conductivity: Provides an effective ground fault current path. ·Reduces EMF by up to 95% at power frequencies. ·Expandability: Has a compatible coefficient of expansion with most construction materials. ·Has a smooth interior that makes it easier to pull cables through. ·Weight: Heavier than Electrical Metal Conduit (EMC) and requires more support, with a maximum interval of 10 feet. ·Refining: All rough edges must be smoothened when the conduit is cut.

    Electrical Metallic Tubing(EMT): Thin-walled and unthreaded, EMT is typically made of coated steel and used in place of GRC in commercial and industrial applications, though it is commonly found in residential applications as well. It can also be made of aluminum and is approved for use in concrete but is not permitted to be installed where subject to physical damage. EMT is not able to offer the same level of protection as GRC. It is easily bent but can not be field threaded because of its thinness. Common trade sizes run from .5 inch to 1.5 inches. ·Durability and Strength: Excellent mechanical protection for electrical wiring. It is resistant to impact and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. ·Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Simple installation and handling. It’s possible save time and labour costs. ·Corrosion Resistance: The galvanization process used in EMT manufacturing helps protect it from corrosion. ·Fire Safety: Being made of metal, EMT is non-combustible. ·Aesthetic Appeal: EMT can be installed in a way that is less obtrusive than other types of conduits. Advantages Disadvantages ·Higher Initial Cost: EMT ismetallic conduits, both in terms of material costs and installation. ·Installation Complexity: The installation process can still be complex. It requires specific tools for cutting and bending. ·Limited Flexibility: EMT is rigid and does not allow for easy reconfiguration once installed. ·Potential for Corrosion: EMT can still corrode if the protective coating is damaged. This is particularly a concern in highly corrosive environments. ·Weight: While lighter than some other metal conduits, EMT is still heavier than non-metallic options. Minimum Diameter: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) Maximum Diameter: 4 inches (101.6 mm) Standard Length: 10 feet (3.05 meters)

    NON-METALLIC ELECTRICAL CONDUIT: RigidNonmetallic Conduit (RNC): Non-metallic, unthreaded, smooth-walled tubing is available in multiple substrates including high-density polyethylene, PVC, and RTRC (fiberglass). The capabilities and specs vary by substrate but several forms of RNC are approved for underground or direct burial use. Advantages Disadvantages Corrosion Resistance: resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for environments exposed to moisture Moisture Protection: They provide excellent protection against moisture. Lightweight and Easy to Install: Non-metallic conduits are lighter than their metallic counterparts. Cost-Effectiveness: non-metallic conduits are less expensive than metallic options. Flexibility: Many non-metallic conduits come in flexible forms, which allows for easy routing around obstacles. Lower Temperature Resistance: Non-metallic conduits typically have lower resistance to high temperatures. 1. Lack of Electrical Grounding: conduits do not provide grounding or shielding for electrical systems. 2. Potential for Mechanical Damage: non-metallic conduits can be more susceptible to mechanical damage. 3. UV Sensitivity: can degrade when exposed to direct sunlight over time. 4. Aesthetics: The appearance of non-metallic conduits may not be as visually appealing as concealed wiring systems. 5.

    RTRC Conduit: RTRC (reinforcedthermosetting resin conduit) is a high-strength, high- temperature resistant fiberglass conduit made by winding and curing resin- impregnated fiberglass strands. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, UV stability, and temperature range, retaining its shape after impact. RTRC is lighter than traditional conduits, reducing installation labor costs, and is affordable. Phenolic RTRC meets NFPA 130 for low smoke, no flame, zero halogen, and 2- hour fire-rated conduit in Class I Div 2 areas. Preferred for utility and data center projects, fiberglass conduit elbows offer low friction, no burn-through, and fault resistance. Advantages Disadvantages Higher Cost: More expensive than alternatives like PVC or EMT. Installation Limitations: Cannot be bent in the field; requires specific fittings. Joint Setting Time: Epoxy joints need time to cure, which can delay projects. Grounding Requirements: May need a separate bonding conductor for grounding. Aesthetic Concerns: May not be visually appealing in residential settings Lightweight: Easier and cheaper to install due to reduced labor costs. Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for moist and chemical environments. Durability: Provides good protection against impact and moisture. Design Flexibility: Allows multiple conductors in a single conduit. Fire Safety: Meets certain fire safety standards. Versatile Applications: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use

    PVC Conduit: Available invarying wall thicknesses and threaded, PVC is light and commonly used for applications requiring non-metal electrical conduit. PVC conduit is not recommended for use in direct sunlight due to poor UV stability. It is relatively easy to heat and field bend with the use of a hotbox conduit bender, but must be mounted to allow for expansion and contraction due to a high coefficient of thermal expansion, and may deform after installation in environments that are too hot. Traditionally PVC has been an inexpensive conduit, however, in recent years it has become more expensive and harder to source, due to ongoing supply chain issues. In these cases, American-made RTRC is often substituted. Advantages Disadvantages ·Lightweight and easy to install ·Resistant to corrosion and many highly corrosive chemicals ·Waterproof and ideal for wet areas in industrial and commercial structures ·Electrically insulated ·Flexible or semi-flexible, making it easy to bend and install ·Explosion-proof and insect resistant ·Typically, less expensive than other options ·Availablity in a variety of wall thicknesses and colours ·Provides good protection from moisture ingress ·Not resistant to high temperatures ·Vulnerable to bite from animals ·Vulnerable to microbial attack ·Lower structural strength compared to metal conduits ·Needs to be supported when installed in longer runs due to sagging ·Not recommended for use in areas of direct sun exposure as sunlight can break down the material over time

    POWER SUPPLY MAIN SWITCH BUSBARS CIRCUITBREAKERS RCDs OR GFCIs METERS ISOLATORS WORKING PRINCIPLE The electric switchboard is connected to the main power supply, which is typically provided by the utility company through a service entrance. The incoming power is typically high voltage and needs to be stepped down using transformers before entering the switchboard. The main switch, often located at the top or side of the switchboard, allows you to control the entire power supply to the building. It is a large circuit breaker that can be manually operated to connect or disconnect the electricity. Busbars are conductive metal bars or strips that distribute electrical power within the switchboard. The main busbar receives power from the main switch and distributes it to individual circuit breakers Circuit breakers monitor the current flowing through the circuit, and if it excceds safe limits or a fault is detected, the circuit breaker trips and interrupts the flow of electricity, effectively disconnecting the circuit from the power supply. This prevents damage and reduces the risk of electrical hazards. RCDs, also known as GP Cl, are safety devices typically installed in switchboards. They constantly monitor the flow of electrical current in the circuits. If they deteet an imbalance between the incoming and outgoing current, indicating a leakage or fault, the RCD/GFCI quickly cuts off the power supply, reducing the risk of electric shocks or fires. Some switchboards may include meters to measure and monitor the consumption of electricity. These meters provide information about energy usage, allowing for accurate billing and monitoring of powerƢconsumption. Isolators are manual switches used to disconnect specifie circuits or electrical equipment from the power supply. They are often used during maintenance or repairs to ensure the safcty of technicians working on the circuits.

The main panel is responsible for receiving electricity from the power grid and distributing it to different circuits within the house. The switchboard is connected to the main panel and acts as a central point for the distribution of electricity to different appliances and fixtures in the house. The main function of a switchboard is to safely and efficiently direct the flow of electricity to different circuits in the house. It consists of a series of circuit breakers or switches which can be easily turned on and off to control the flow of electricity. This allows residents to conveniently and safely turn off power to specific circuits in case of an emergency or for maintenance purposes. PURPOSE AND USAGE The main purpose of a switchboard is to ensure safe and efficient distribution of electricity in a residence. As mentioned earlier, it acts as a central point for controlling the flow of electricity to different circuits in the house. This allows for better organization and management of electricity usage, resulting in increased safety and cost-efficiency. Switchboards also serve as a safety measure against electrical overloads and short circuits. These devices are equipped with circuit breakers that are designed to detect abnormal levels of electricity flow and cut off the power supply to prevent damage or accidents. This adds an additional layer of protection to the electrical system of a residence. LOAD DISTRIBUTION CRITERIA FOR SELECTION The selection of a switchboard for a residential setting in India should be based on several factors, including the size of the house, the number of circuits required, and the level of electricity consumption. It is important to select a switchboard that can handle the expected load and has spare capacity for any future additions to the electrical system. One of the key criteria for selecting a switchboard is its ampere rating. This determines the amount of electricity that can safely pass through the switchboard. To accurately determine the appropriate ampere rating, a calculation based on the total expected load in the house should be done. This involves adding up the wattage of all appliances and fixtures that will be connected to the switchboard.

    Solar Irradiance (W/m2): Solar Irradiance (W/m2) :also called solar radiation,nfluenced by atmospheric conditions such as clouds & smog, latitude and time of year , Range : (500-1200)w/m^2 and 1000w/m^2 on an average Shading : partial shading on a single panel in a string can reduce power output by 50% or more, reducing the power of the entire string by a significant amount can cause the partial diodes to fail Add-on devices known as optimisers and microinverters , can reduce the negative effect of shading, use of these devices will retain the efficiency of unshaded panels neglecting the shaded panels Panel orientation Temperature : Location (latitude) Time of year Dust and dirt More efficient panel doesn’t always equate to a better quality panel , Manifacturing quality real-world performance, reliability, manufacturer’s service, and warranty conditions. matters over efficiency Efficiency generally means a solar panel will pay back the embodied energy (energy used to extract the raw materials and manufacture the solar panel) in less time like sillicon panels who repay the embodied energy within two years, depending on the location. If panel efficiency has increased beyond 20%, payback time has reduced to less than 1.5 years in many locations. Increased efficiency also means a solar system will generate more electricity over a solar panel's average 20+ year life and repay the upfront cost sooner, meaning the return on investment (ROI) will be improved. FASTER PAYBACK AREA : Higher efficiency panels generate more energy per square meter and thus require less overall area. For example 12 x 300W panels at 17.5% efficiency = 3,600 W 12 x 440W panels at 22.5% efficiency = 5,280 W

    3 A solar panelis a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries. How Solar Panels Work Sunlight Absorption: Photon Interaction: When sunlight (photons) hits the solar cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms within the semiconductor material. Electric Current Generation: Photovoltaic Effect: This movement of electrons creates an electric current. Metal conductive plates on the sides of the cell collect the electrons and transfer them to wires. Electricity Flow: Direct Current (DC): The flow of electrons generates DC electricity, whi can be used immediately or converted to alternating current (AC) using an inverter for compatibility with the electric grid or household appliances. Applications of Solar Panels Home Electricity Corporate Buildings Large-Scale Power Generation Portable and Specialized Use Space Applications Components of Solar Panels Solar Cells: Photovoltaic Cells: The basic building blocks of solar panels, solar cells are made from semiconductor materials that convert sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Glass Cover: Protective Layer: The top layer of a solar panel is a durable glass cover that protects the solar cells from environmental elements like rain, hail, and dirt. Encapsulant: Sealing and Protection: This layer surrounds the solar cells, providing an adhesive layer that secures the cells in place and protects them from moisture and other environmental factors. Frame: Structural Support: Typically made of aluminum, the frame provides structural integrity and makes it easier to mount the solar panel. Back Sheet: Protection from the Rear: The back sheet is the bottom layer of the panel, which protects the cells from environmental damage and helps in insulation. Junction Box: Electrical Connections: Located on the back of the panel, the junction box contains the electrical connections and often includes diodes to prevent backflow of current.

    How Does SolarPower Work on a House? How Does Solar Power Work on a House? When sunlight hits a solar panel, an electric charge is created through the photovoltaic effect or PV effect (more on that below) The solar panel feeds this electric charge into inverters, which change it from direct current (DC) into alternate current (AC) electricity The AC electricity runs through your electrical panel and is distributed throughout your home — just like grid energy Excess solar energy is stored in batteries or pushed onto the grid to power local systems (like your neighbor’s house!) Through net metering, solar owners get credit for the excess energy they put on the grid to offset the grid energy they pull off the grid when their panels aren’t producing With battery storage, solar owners can store excess production to power their homes at night

    How does solarpower work? The photovoltaic effect How does solar power work? The photovoltaic effect Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic (PV) effect, which is why they’re often referred to as PV panels. The photovoltaic effect occurs when photons from the sun’s rays hit the semiconductive material (typically silicon) in the cell of the solar module. The photons activate electrons, causing them to free themselves from the semiconductive material. The free electrons flow through the solar cells, down wires along the edge of the panel, and into a junction box as direct current (DC). This current travels from the solar panel to an inverter, where it is changed into alternative current (AC) that can be used to power homes and buildings.

    How is solarenergy used to power your home? How is solar energy used to power your home? Most home solar systems are “grid-tied” meaning that the solar system, home electrical system, and local utility grid are all interconnected, typically through the main electrical service panel. Connecting these systems means you can power your home with solar electricity during the day and grid electricity at night. It also means your solar system can push excess electricity onto the local grid to power surrounding systems, like your neighbor’s house. Through net metering, you earn credit for excess solar production that can be used to offset the grid electricity you use at night.

    Monocrystalline panels arethe most advanced of the three types. They are made from pure silicon, which makes them the most expensive. The Czochralski method is used, where a silicon crystal is placed in molten silicon, slowly extracted, and allowed to harden into an ingot. This ingot is then sliced into thin wafers and assembled into panels. Monocrystalline cells have a square shape with rounded edges and gaps between them, appearing black due to the pure silicon. You can choose different colors for the frames and back sheets 1.Monocrystalline Solar Panels The higher efficiency rating of monocrystalline panels makes them ideal for homes with limited roof space, as you'll need fewer panels to generate the electricity you need.

    Polycrystalline panels arebecoming popular due to their efficiency and cost- effectiveness. Unlike Monocrystalline panels, they are made from silicon fragments rather than a single crystal. The silicon fragments melt together in molten silicon, then cool and fragment in their mold. After cooling, the silicon is sliced into wafers and assembled into panels. Polycrystalline cells appear blue when sunlight reflects off them, and the panels are square-shaped with no gaps. Frames typically come in silver. 2.Polycrystalline Solar Panels They are used in large solar farms to harness the power of the sun and supply electricity to nearby areas. They are used in standalone or self-powered devices such as traffic lights in remote areas, off-grid households, etc.

    Thin-Film panels arethe newest and most versatile. They are made from various materials, including copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and amorphous silicon (a-Si). The material is sandwiched between thin conductive layers with a protective glass top layer. Thin-Film panels are about 350 times thinner than silicon wafer panels. Despite their thinness, they can have large frames similar to other types, and their color depends on the material used, usually appearing black or blue. 3.Thin-Film Solar Panels Sheets of thin-films may be used to generate electricity increasingly in places where other photovoltaic cells cannot be used, such as on curved surfaces on buildings or cars or even on clothing to charge handheld devices.

    What is Generator? Electricgenerators, also known as dynamos is an electric machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electric generator’s mechanical energy is usually provided by steam turbines, gas turbines, and wind turbines. Electrical generators provide nearly all the power that is required for electric power grids. The reverse conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy is done by an electric motor. . How do Generators create Electricity? Generators do not create electricity instead it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electrons constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. The modern-day generators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday. He realized that the above flow of current can be created by moving an electrical conductor in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the conductor which causes the electric charges to flow, hence generating electric current.

    FUNCTIONS Backup Power during Outages: PermanentPower: Standby Power for Businesses: Supporting the Main Power Supply: Temporary Power Supply: Main Function Generators provide electricity during power cuts and load shedding. It is common in rural areas during peak hours and severe weather, ensuring uninterrupted work. Some facilities, like agricultural farms, rely on generators for a continuous power supply due to the absence of power grids. Standby generators, including batteries and other gear, stay idle during normal power supply but activate during emergencies to keep businesses, like hospitals, running smoothly. STOR (Short Term Operating Reserve) generators help meet the high electricity demand during peak hours, providing emergency power to support the grid and ensure stability. Essential for places without dedicated power connections, such as construction sites and remote event locations, generators can power equipment, lighting, and sound systems. Smaller generators are also useful for camping and trips. Generators come in various types and sizes, mainly providing electricity to residential and business facilities. The bigger the number, the more appliances they can power up at once. A 5000-watt model is adequate for covering a regular household. Depends on your requirements, the size of the place, and the number of tools you want to run. How to choose a Generator?
