BUILDING
High rise buildings normally refer to occupancy for:
general offices
commercial establishments
hotels / condominiums or their combinations. The
definitions as to number of floors and areas vary from
one party to another.
These buildings distinctively differ from industrial
buildings for manufacturing with regards to electric utilization
equipment installed and the number of floors. The latter are
mostly single or two-storey structure due to operational
requirements and constraints. Exceptions are the taller silos for
stockpiling of materials or finished products.

PABX telephone system
Intercom
6. Automatic Doors
entrance and exit for pedestrians
garage and freight
7. Central Computer System
CPU and peripherals
Terminals
8. Auxiliaries
intrusion and hold-up control system
fire suppression and alarm system
background music and paging
sound reinforcement and video facilities
noise masking and acoustics, others
Note: The latter items could be integrated into the building automation
system as may be provided in the design.
Hits and dips will not be reflected in the A-C output lines as
this is
absorbed in the rectifier / charger only; the UPS in
effect, filters the
power to the computer.
Protections
Flexibility
While a single feeder may sufficiently supply several
areas or floors or loads, so the scope of it affects in cases
of For
breakdown.
the general lighting and power system of a highrise building, some designer distribute the loads among
several feeders, example:
Feeder I - to serve Ground, 3rd, 5th floors
Feeder II - to serve Basement, 2nd, 4th
Feeder III - to serve 6th, 8th, 10th
and so forth; if the floor is sufficiently
large, it may even be divided into zones
and fed from different feeders.
The idea is to minimize areas affected by a single
feeder breakdown;
