ELECTRICAL DESIGN
The design of a mega filling station and its
attendant gadgets makes electricity an inevitable source of power
supply. Base on this fact, there must be an electrical design that must
give a blue-print on which a Mega filling station must be wired.
An
electrical design is a design describing a blue-print or pattern in
which structures like a building, an industrial lay outs, a community or
such like can be wired electrically. It is designed by an electrical
engineer with various symbols representing various features or
electrical accessories in the actual structure based on the
Architectural design from an Architect.
Along side an electrical
design is a table of symbols called “LEGENDâ€. The legend contains all
the symbols found in the electrical design of the structure with an
explanation attached to each symbol, telling those who look into it what
they mean.
Another feature attached to the electrical design, is the
‘LOAD CHART AND BALANCING TABLEâ€. This feature explains how loads are
distributed and balanced in the Distribution Board of the structure
design electrically by the electrical engineer. Another important
feature of the electrical design, is the FUSE ARRANGEMENT. This feature
is so important to the design because it specifically stipulates the
ratings of each fuse and the circuit coming into it from the designed
structure. It shows whether the structure is a single phase or three
phase system and the ratings of fuses allocated to each phase. It also
reveals that the earthling must be connected to the body of the
Distribution Board which links the whole Earthing of the structure. The
various sizes of cables required can be seen at a glance from that fuse
arrangement design. Things like gear switch and change-over switch are
also necessary for such a structure like filling station.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT
The
electrical installation requirements differ from one design to the
other and from one structure to the other. The following are necessary
in an electrical installation of a building:
Lighting points
Switches
Socket outlets
Air condition outlets
Hot water Heater
Pvc cables of the required sizes
Earthing system
Accessories of the required types
Distribution board of the required types
Change-over switch
Main control Gear switch
The
list above is just to give an idea of some basic electrical
installation requirements for a building. These requirements can be used
for surface, concealed conduit or trunk wirings.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]A mega filling station can be described from its name –MEGA; which means larger in size. This implies that mega filling station is a large-scale fuel station outlets where fuels of various forms are sold. A typical example is the NNPC MEGA FILLING STATION in the various states of Nigeria. Each of the NNPC MEGA FILLING STATION has twenty fuel dispensers while that of Abuja has twenty eight fuel Dispenser pumps.The electrical Design and installation Requirements of a MEGA FILLING STATION is ...
