2.1: Necessity and reading of Civil Engineering Drawing 01
Necessity and reading of Civil Engineering Drawing
 As a electrical engineer it is necessary to read a civil engineer drawing because by reading civil drawing
we get the locations of windows, doors, Passage, w/c, bathrooms, dimensions and height of walls etc.
 Such civil plans are first of all studied by an electrical engineer and has to decide the the type of wiring
and wiring route.
 Once the wiring route is decided then the main circuit is divided into sub-circuits according to IE rules.
 By calculating all electrical parameters like total sub circuits, size and rating of fuse, mcb, wire and conduit
etc. an electrical engineer should draw wiring route diagram, electrical plan on civil drawing and single
line diagram of electrical plan.

The room is provided with two laps, one fan and one 5 Amp socket outlet. Each point have to be controlled
by individual switch. Mark the location of electric point suitably and draw the wiring diagram.
Assumptions-
1. Total height of ceiling from floor is 3.5 m 2. Height of ceiling fan from floor is 2.5 m
3. Height of switch board from floor is 1.5m 4. Leight point from ceiling is 0.5 m
Step-1 Define the location of given points on civil plan as per IS

Step-2 Calculate the total connected load

Sr. no Name of Component Wattage Quantity Total wattage
1 Lamp 60 2 120
2 Fan 60 1 60
3 5 A plug socket 100 1 100
Total wattage 280 Watt
To calculate total load current by using total wattage
Total load current = Total power/ Voltage*PF The circuit current is 2.28
= 280/230*0.8 Amp then we can select
=1.52 Amp 15 Amp, 250V ICDP
To calculate short circuit current = Total load current * 1.5 switch for the given plan.
= 1.52 * 1.5
= 2.28 Amp

Step-3 Calculation of total length of conduit

1. From switch board to fan
1.5 (v) + 0.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) + 2 (h) = 4.5 m
2. From fan to lamp 1

2.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) = 3 m

2.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) = 3 m
4. From incoming to switchboard

2 (h) + 0.5 (v) = 2.5 m
Length of conduit = 4.5 + 3 + 3 + 2.5= 13 m

Adding 10% waste factor in conduit
Total length of conduit is = 13 + 10% wastage
= 13 + 1.3
Total length of conduit =14.3 m
˷ 15 m
Step-4 Calculation of total length phase wire

1.5 (v) + 0.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) + 2 (c) + 0.5 (v)= 5 m
2. From switch board to lamp 1

1.5 (v) + 0.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) + 2 (c) + 2.5 (c)+ 0.5 (v) = 7.5 m
3 From switch to lamp 2

1.5 (v) + 0.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) + 2 (c) + 2.5 (c)+ 0.5 (v) = 7.5 m

2 (h) + 0.5 (v) = 2.5 m
Length of phase wire = 5 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 2.5= 22.5 m

Total length of phase wire is = 22.5 + 10% wastage
= 22.5 + 2.25
Total length of phase wire =24.75 m
˷
25 m
Step-5 Calculation of total length neutral wire

1.5 (v) + 0.5 (h) + 0.5 (v) + 2 (c) + 0.5 (v)= 5 m

0.5 (v) + 2.5 (c)+ 0.5 (v) = 3.5 m
3 From fan to lamp 2

0.5 (v) + 2.5 (c)+ 0.5 (v) = 3.5 m

2 (h) + 0.5 (v) = 2.5 m
Length of neutral wire = 5 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 2.5= 14.5 m

Total length of neutral wire is = 14.5 + 10% wastage
= 14.5 + 1.45
Total length of neutral wire =15.95 m
˷16 m
Step-5 Calculation of total length all wires
Total length of phase wire = 25 m (Red Wire)

Total length of neutral wire = 16 m (Yellow Wire)
Total wire required = 25 + 16 = 41 m
Taking 15% extra for connection= 41 + 6.15

= 47.15 m
Consider the length of earth wire= 1 m (Green wire)

Total length of batten
-From meter board to main board =0.2 m (13 mm x 13 mm) (13 mm x 13 mm) = 22. 3 m
-Vertical run above main board =1.5 m (13 mm x 13 mm) (19 mm x 13 mm) = 3.5 m
- Horizontal run from main board to SB1 = 1 m (25 mm x 13 mm) (25 mm x 13 mm) = 4 m
- From SB1 to lamp L1 = 1.5 + 0.5 + 1.5= 3.5 m (19 mm x 13 mm) ( 31 mm x 13 mm) = 3 m
- Horizontal run from main board to SB2 = 0.5 + 0.3 +2.5 = 3.3 m (13 mm x 13mm) (38 mm x 13 mm) = 1.5 m
- Down ward run above SB1= 1.5 m (44 mm x 33 mm) (44 mm x 33 mm) = 1.5 m
- Vertical run above SB2 to F1 = 0.5 + 2.5 = 3 m ( 31 mm x 13 mm) Total length of batten is =35. 8 m
- From F1 to L2 = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3m (13mm x 13mm)
Adding 10 % of wastage
- From F1 to T1 = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3m (13mm x 13mm) = 35.8 + 3.58
- Horizontal run from SB2 to SB3 = 2.5 + 0.3 +2.5= 5.3m (13mm x 13mm) = 39.38 m
- Downward run above SB3 = 1.5 m (38 mm x 13 mm)
- From horizontal run to F2 = 0.5 + 2.5 m = 3 m (25 mm x 13mm)
- From F2 to L3 = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3m (13mm x 13mm)
- From F2 to T2 = 2.5 + 0.5 = 3m (13mm x 13mm)

Step 3- To find the total length of wire

Total length of batten
- (13 mm x 13 mm) = 22. 3 m
No of wires Size of batten Total length of wire (19 mm x 13 mm) = 3.5 m
2 (13 mm x 13 mm) = 22. 3 m 44.6 (25 mm x 13 mm) = 4 m
( 31 mm x 13 mm) = 3 m
3 (19 mm x 13 mm) = 3.5 m 10.5
(38 mm x 13 mm) = 1.5 m
4 (25 mm x 13 mm) = 4 m 16 (44 mm x 33 mm) = 1.5 m
5 ( 31 mm x 13 mm) = 3 m 15 Total length of batten is =35. 8 m
6 (38 mm x 13 mm) = 1.5 m 9
Adding 10 % of wastage
7 (44 mm x 33 mm) = 1.5 m 10.5 = 35.8 + 3.58
Length of wire 105.6 = 39.38 m

distributed among 3 phases.
 Lighting and power circuit be separate.
 Single phase and three phase load be controlled separately.
 If load of consumer is more than 50 kVA then He has to adopt HT supply.
 For 2000 Watt one power sub-circuit should be used.
 Used 10 points and 800 Watt on each sub circuit.(for lighting load)



Q.1) Calculate total load, load current, number of lighting sub-circuits, number of power sub-
circuits and draw single line diagram of the restaurant with following points, make necessary
assumptions.
Given-
1. Hall- 20 fluorescent lamps and 10 ceiling fans
2. Kitchen- 5 fluorescent lamps, 2 Exhaust fans, 5 Power points of 1kW each.
3. Store- 2 fluorescent lamps, 15 A socket out let.
4. Corridor- 4 CFL
- Fluorescent lamp- 40 Watt
- Exhaust Fan- 100 Watt
- Ceiling Fan- 60 Watt
- 5 A power points- 1000 Watt
- 15 A power plug- 1000 Watt

Step-1 Calculation of total load
Fluorescent Exhaust Fan- Ceiling Fan- CFL 5 A power 15 A power

Place lamp- (100 Watt) (60 Watt) (15 Watt) points- plug-
(40 Watt) (1000 Watt) (1000 Watt)
Hall 20 x 40 = 800 10 x 60 = 600
Kitchen 5 x 40 =200 2 x 100= 200 5 x 1000=5000
Store 2 x 40 = 80 1 x 1000 =
1000
Corridor 4 x 15 = 60
Total load 1080 200 600 60 5000 1000
Total load of restaurant = 7940 Watt

Step-2 - Calculate the total load current of the restaurant
As the total load is more than 3kW, then we have to use 3-phase 4-wire service connection for the
restaurant
Assuming p.f. of installation as 0.8
To calculate maximum current ( Short circuit Current)

Ish = 14.32 x 1.5 = 21.48 Amp
For main supply we will provide PVC wire of 7/20, having current rating is 28 A

Step-3 - Calculate the total lighting load
Total light and fan load = 1940 Watt
Total points of lighting load = 43 points
Step-3 - Calculate the total power load
Total power load = 6000 Watt
Total points of power load = 6 points

Step-4 - Calculate the number of sub-circuits for power load
 We will divide 6 power points into 3 sub circuits having 2000 watt each.
 Hence, for sub-circuits we can provide the 7/22 PVC wire having current rating of 20 A.

Step-4 - Calculate the number of sub-circuits for lighting load

Step-4 - Calculate the number of sub-circuits for lighting load
 Total load on R-phase will be divided into 2 sub-circuits

Sub circuit 1= 6 tubes + 2 Ceiling fans = 360 W
Sub circuit 2 = 3 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 1 Exhaust fan = 280 W
 Total load on Y-phase will be divided into 2 sub-circuits

Sub circuit 1= 6 tubes + 2 Ceiling fans = 360 W
Sub circuit 2 = 3 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 1 Exhaust fan = 280 W

Sub circuit 1= 5 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 2 CFL = 290 W
Sub circuit 2 = 4 tubes + 3 Ceiling fans + 2 CFL = 370 W
Step-5 - Calculate the load current of each sub circuit
 Total load on R-phase will be divided into 2 sub-circuits

Sub circuit 1= 6 tubes + 2 Ceiling fans = 360 W 1.95 A
Sub circuit 2 = 3 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 1 Exhaust fan = 280 W 1.52 A

Sub circuit 1= 6 tubes + 2 Ceiling fans = 360 W 1. 95 A
Sub circuit 2 = 3 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 1 Exhaust fan = 280 W 1.52A

Sub circuit 1= 5 tubes + 1 Ceiling fans + 2 CFL = 290 W 1.57 A
Sub circuit 2 = 4 tubes + 3 Ceiling fans + 2 CFL = 370 W 2.01 A

Step-6 - Calculate the size of wire for each phase circuit
 PVC 1/18 copper wire having current rating of 5 A will be used for all lighting sub-circuits.
Now maximum load current for R phase is

IR = 2640/230 x 0.8 = 14.34 A
Maximum current for R phase is= 14.34 x 1.5 = 21.51 A
We can used 7/20 PVC wire will be used for each sub-circuit

Step-7 – Single line diagram
