 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express heartfelt thanks to our course guide Er. Sangeet Lal Nakarmi for giving
us this project as well to the Dept. of Architecture for including this project in the course. I really enjoyed
doing this project. On the course of study, I had a chance to know about lighting in various types of
building areas and their importance.

Special gratitude goes to our seniors and colleagues who helped during this project. As well to our
teacher without whose guidance it was impossible to prepare this report.

1) DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING

The building is Complex kawpa which is a commercial complex having five floors with a basement area
for parking. The areas allocated are commercial spaces. The Ground floor consists departmental store, car
showroom, bike showroom, retail shops. The First floor consists of departmental store, boutique, furniture
showroom, liquor shop, jewelry shop, accessories shop, mobile shop, shoe shop, bag shop, beauty parlor.
The second floor consists of FM studio, staff rooms, kids corner, restaurants ,computer showroom, tailor
etc. The outdoor spaces consists of parking and planned landscaping.

Formula used during calculations:

1) CALCULATION OF LUMINARIES

Number of luminaries (N) = (E x A)/ (Ф x µu x µm)

Where,
N= no. of luminaries
 E = required illumination level
A = area in which illumination is required
Ф = lumen output of luminaries
µu = utilization coefficient
µm = maintenance factor

2) SELECTING AREA OF CONDUCTOR

A= (1.5 x I x k x L)/ (permissible voltage drop)

Where,
A= area of conductor
I= current through the conductor
K=0.02 for copper
0.03 For aluminum
L= length of conductor
Permissible voltage drop allowed is 2%
7) TYPES OF LUMINARIES USED:

10) CALCULATION OF AREA OF CONDUCTOR

For light Circuit: PVC insulated copper conductor of area 1.3 mm2 (3/22), can carry 11A current
safely.
For power sub Circuit: PVC insulated copper conductor of area 4mm2 (2* 7/22+ 1* 3/222).
For MDB to SDB : 3 and ½ core cu conductor.

Leading from main DB to various floors

1.Leading from main DB to Basement floor

2.Leading from main DB to Ground floor

a) For TPMCCB 1
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L = 4m+23m
k = 0.02
I = 30 A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220 V = 4.4 V

A≥(1.5* 30*0.02*27)

A≥ 24.3 mm2
 Hence,
A≥ 24.3mm2
From table, nearest conductor size is 25 mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 68 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 25 mm2 having current
carrying capacity 68A.

b) For TPMCCB 2
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L= 4m
k = 0.02
I = 30A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220
= 4.4 V
Hence,
A≥ (1.5*30*0.02*4) mm2
A≥ 3.6 mm2

From table, nearest conductor size is 4 mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 30 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 4 mm2 having current
carrying capacity 30A.

3.Leading from main DB to First floor

a) For TPMCCB 1
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L = 8m+23m
k = 0.02
I = 30 A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220 V = 4.4 V

A≥ (1.5* 30*0.02*31)

A≥ 27.9 mm2
Hence,
A≥ 27.9mm2
From table, nearest conductor size is 35 mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 99 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 35 mm2 having current
carrying capacity 99A.

b) For TPMCCB 2
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L= 8m
k = 0.02
I = 30A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220
= 4.4 V
Hence,
A≥ (1.5*30*0.02*8) mm2
 A≥ 7.2 mm2

From table, nearest conductor size is 10mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 50 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 10 mm2 having current
carrying capacity 50A.

4.Leading from main DB to Second floor

a) For TPMCCB 1
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L = 12m+23m
k = 0.02
I = 30 A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220 V = 4.4 V

A≥ (1.5* 30*0.02*35)

A≥ 31.5 mm2
Hence,
A≥ 35mm2
From table, nearest conductor size is 35 mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 99 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 35 mm2 having current
carrying capacity 99A.

b) For TPMCCB 2
A≥ (1.5* I * k * L)/ (Permissible voltage drop)
L= 12m
k = 0.02
I = 30A
Permissible voltage = 2% of 220
= 4.4 V
Hence,
A≥ (1.5*30*0.02*12) mm2
A≥ 10.8 mm2

From table, nearest conductor size is 16mm2 having the current carrying capacity of 64 A
for Cu conductor laid in duct. Hence the size of conductor used is of 16mm2 having current
carrying capacity 64A.

11) TRANSFORMER SELECTION

Current through the MDB = 100A

Power = 3*Vp*Ip
=3* 220 *100
= 66 KVA
Hence, we select the Transformer of 66 KVA.
Voltage ratio: 11/0.4 KV
Transformer type: Three phase single Unit

12) COMMENTS AND CONCLUSION

 The lighting design is completed for a semipublic complex with considering all possible factors to
fulfill lighting necessity of the health club complex. The complex is supplied by 66KVA, 11/0.4 KV 3
phase step down transformer to MDB placed inside the electrical room in the . From MDB 3
phases is supplied to each SDB from where single phase is supplied to each sub-circuit in each room. Care
has been given to balance the load in each phase as far as possible.
Though this project does not fulfill every requirement for complete electrification, however it
covers most of the design and can be taken as a base for electrification for the particular complex.
