ABSTRACT
This handbook provides basic design guidance in the proper selection of
electric power sources and distribution systems. It was developed from
extensive reevaluation of facilities and is presented for use by experienced
architects and engineers. The contents cover electric power preliminary
design considerations such as preliminary data, estimation of loads,
selection of electric power source, uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
system design, installation of distribution systems, levels of distribution
voltage, grounding of distribution systems, and selection of distribution
systems.
