Book Description
The IEEE Gray Book provides extensive information on each of the various specialized subjects involved in planning the power system of a new or modernized commercial structure. It is a helpful resource for the power-oriented engineer with limited commercial-building experience. This comprehensive source will alert the electrical engineer or designer to the many problems encountered in designing electrical systems for commercial buildings.
Extensive information is presented on many different aspects of electrical systems. Information is given on load requirements, voltage considerations, power sources, and distribution systems from the point of view of power distribution. Once power enters the commercial facility, other issues such as services, vaults, electrical equipment rooms, wiring systems, system protection and coordination, lighting, and electric space conditioning become pertinent, and are addressed. Additional issues associated with the commercial facility covered in the IEEE Gray Book include transportation, communication systems planning, facility automation, expansion, modernization, rehabilitation, special occupancy requirements, and energy management. |
