ABSTRACT
Load data was obtained from an existing building in the area for consideration. These data were keys in determining the distribution arrangement of the various loads in the distribution board. The capacities of the distribution boards used for the various blocks were calculated from the design. Cable sizing was also done in order to ensure an efficient connection of the different electrical accessories such as 13A and 15A sockets, lamp holders and even switches. The connecting cable to the distribution board for all blocks represented was calculated in the design. The information obtained from the design will ensure an efficient electrical installation for the building.
