Transmission of Electricity
from Power Generation
Station
1.In generation Stations by
using energy we can produce
AC Current which means
Alternating Current.
2.AC current has the capacity
to change its direction from
Positive to Negative
Constantly.So it is used most
because of its ability to be
modified by using Transformer.
3.Using Step Up and Step Doun
Transformers Current will
transferred via Transmission
Lines.
4.Finally once the current
Reached the local junctions it
will be transferred for
commercial or Residential Use
Depending on their
Requirements By Using
Distribution Transformers.

Process At Site Level

1.Depending On The Demand load we can
Afford the Desired amount of electricity
From the government.
MV/HV Panels SubStations
2.After the calculation of load Government
will decide the type of Transformer.For Eg: If
the demand load is Less than 4500 W –LOW
TENSION Transformer.If the Demand Load is
More Than 4500 W – HIGH TENSION
Transformer.
3.If there is a number of transformers in our Rooms
site we have to Transfer the Electricity to the
Breaker room there with the help of VCB
panels we can Trip the whole electricity in
case of any issues 5.Then The Current From the Breaker Room or
Transformer will be Received Through the incoming VCB
4.After that the current from Breaker Room Panels in the SubStation.
will be Transfereed to the Sub-Stations by
using Desired Cables.
6.Then through the Transformer the HV Current is
And the Transferring methods is of reduced to MV current And supplied to the separate MV

distribution in highrise buildings
INTRODUCTION

 in an electrical distribution system, one area where savings can be made

and provide the features listed above is in the use of busbar trunking
systems.

 busbar trunking systems are designed to withstand the effects of short-

circuit currents resulting from a fault at any load point in the system, e.g.
at a tap-off outlet or at the end of a busbar trunking run.

METHODOLOGY:

 bus bar trunking system (bbt) preforms the function of transporting

current from one point to the other.
 bus bar trunking installations can be categorised into two basic types:
distribution and feeder. the bus bar trunking unit (btu) is designed to
prevent the propagation of fire and limit the propagation of heat through
building divisions (walls and floors), for a specified time under fire
conditions.
 copper and aluminium are both physically and economically viable for use
as conductors in power bus bar trunking systems (bts). aluminium
conductor is used 630a -6000a. copper conductor is used 630a-7500a.

CONCLUTION:
 The use of busbar will reduce electricity wastage
• EMERGENCY POWER BACKUP SYSTEM : DG
• LOCATION:
• Dg should be as near as substation.
• The emergency power supply (DG) should not be allowed to be installed above ground floor or
below the first basement level of the building.
• If installed in the enclosed space, facilities for forced ventilation shall be provided.
• The generating set should preferably be housed adjacent to MV switchgear in the
substation building to enable transfer of electrical load efficiently.

VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION

• STAIRS
• ELEVATORS
• ESCALATORS
• MOVING WALKWAYS
 ELEVATORS /LIFTS:
• Lift is a type of vertical
transport equipment that efficiently
moves people or goods between
floors or levels of a building .
• Lifts are installed into building to
satisfy the vertical transportation
needs of its occupants and visitors
and are necessary by virtue of
human comfort and convenience , or
by statutory regulations.
• It is recommended that a lift be
installed in all type of buildings ,
where a building contain more than
six storeys .
TYPES OF LIFT
• Passenger lifts.
• Goods lifts.
• Hospital lifts.
• Service lifts.

PASSENGER LIFTS:
Passenger lifts are those designed primarily for passengers .
For designing these lifts human comfort and convenience
are given primary considerations.
GOODS LIFTS:

Goods lifts are mainly for the transport of

materials ,but may be required occasionally to
carry passengers.
HOSPITAL LIFTS:

Hospital lifts are installed in hospital/dispensary/clinic and designed to

accommodate one number bed/stretcher along its depth , with sufficient
space all round to carry a minimum of three attendants
in addition to lift operator.
SERVICE LIFTS:

Service lifts (dump-waiter) are those

Lifts , which are exclusively used for carrying

 CLASSIFICATION OF LIFT

ROPE LIFT:
• Low cost.
• Availability from different
manufacturers of reputed class.
• Proven technology.
• Availability for high speed.
• Scope for future research &
development & easy maintenance.
HYDRAULIC LIFT:

• A lift where the vertical movement is done by hydraulic

force.
• They use an underground cylinder, common for low level
buildings
with 2-5floors(up to 6-8 floors)
•Have speeds of up to 1m/s.
•It is advantageous where the machine room cannot be
mounted on roof due to aesthetic reasons but it should be
provided in lift pit.
•The advantage with hydraulic lift is smooth and jerk free
movement.
• The disadvantage with hydraulic lifts is that these are not
suitable for high rise buildings as the horse power
consumed in pumping the hydraulic fluid increases and
become less efficient.
•The chances of bursting of the hydraulic piping and
cylinder also increases.
COMPONENTS OF LIFT

• Control room
• Guides
• Lift car
• Lift car door
• Car rail
• Counter weight
• Control panel
• Lift pit
• Buffer
• Hoist
BASIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF LIFT:
• The quantity of service required.
• The quality of service desired.
• Determine the number and type of lifts to be provided in a particular building.
•The quantity of service factor , that is , how many people might use the lift system
over a defined period of time is represented by the handling capacity.
• The quality of service factor ,that is , how well the lift system deals with its
passengers is represented by passenger waiting time and lobby queuing.
•These factors are interrelated and depend , among the other things , on the type of
buildings and its use on the type of occupier.
•Both these factors require proper study into the character of building , extent and
duration of peak periods , frequency of service required , type and method of
control , type of landing doors, etc.
• Considerations on estimating the passenger demand and usage patterns and not
only calculating its portable performance.
• Designing and discussing of lift system in a early stage to an (Architect /
Engineer)
Is mandatory.
ETD, Estimated Time to Destination, is a patented ThyssenKrupp Elevator algorithm which can
be used in three modes:
( I ) destination dispatch,
(ii) conventional dispatching with up/down hall call buttons,
(iii) a combination of destination input on busy floors, with conventional hall call buttons on other floors. Improvements have been ma
the ETD optimization function so that it can adjust
the relative importance of waiting and transit times.

 ESCALATOR
• An escalator is a power-driven, continuous moving
stairway designed to transport passengers up and down
short vertical distances.
• Escalators are used around the world to move pedestrian
traffic in places where elevators would be impractical.

An escalator consists of top and bottom landing platforms connected by a metal

truss.

TOP PLATFORM BOTTOM PLATFORM

PHYSICAL FACTORS:

• Physical factors like the vertical and horizontal distance to be

spanned must be considered.
• These factors will determine the pitch of the escalator and its actual
length.

LOCATION:

• Escalators should be situated where they can be easily seen by the

general public.
• In department stores, customers should be able to view the
merchandise easily.
• Furthermore, up and down escalator traffic should be physically
separated and should not lead into confined spaces.
TRAFFIC PATTERNS
• Traffic patterns must also be anticipated in escalator design.
• In some buildings the objective is simply to move people from one floor to
another, but in others there may be a more specific requirement, such as
funneling visitors towards a main exit or exhibit.
• The number of passengers is important because escalators are designed to
carry a certain maximum number of people. For example, a single width
escalator traveling at about 1.5 feet (0.45 m) per second can move an
estimated 170 persons per five-minute period.

SAFELY
• Safety is also major concern in escalator design. Fire protection of
an escalator floor-opening may be provided by adding automatic
sprinklers or fireproof shutters to the opening, or by installing the
escalator in an enclosed fire-protected hall.
• To limit the danger of overheating, adequate ventilation for the
spaces that contain the motors and gears must be provided.
• It is preferred that a traditional staircase be located adjacent to the
escalator if the escalator is the primary means of transport between
floors.
TYPES OF ESCALATORS

•Designed on an incline of 27.3, 30, 35 degrees.

•If the height is more than 6m than incline of 27.3 should be
given
•The speed of the escalator, shall not be more than 0.63 m/s
