CONTENTS:
8. Fundamental laws and norms. Electrical characterization of loads: load curve behaviour, utilization and
simultaneity factor. [4 hours]
9. Distribution lines. Generalities. Conductor types, technical specifications and installation conditions
(Tables CEI UNEL). Distributed loads. Radial and loop circuits. Cable sizing criteria and related tests:
voltage drop, ampacity rating, etc. Protection of the feeders against overload and short circuit.
Calculation of short-circuit currents in MV and LV distribution systems and selection of the short-circuit
current-breaking capability of the circuit-breakers. The specific let-through energy of the circuit-breaker in
correspondence with the maximum short-circuit current of the installation. [20 hours]

electric equipment classes. Degree of protection IP. Electric and functional safety. Norms. Protection
against direct and indirect contacts. Grounding. [24 hours]
11. Distribution boards. Generalities. Switch disconnectors, protection devices (such as circuit breakers,
fuses etc.) and ground leakage protection units. Distribution boards specifically designed for household
and similar applications. [6 hours]
12. Substations. Generalities. Main components of substations (transformers; circuit breakers; fuses;
disconnecting switches; circuit switchers; instrument transformers; bus; relays and instruments; auxiliary
A.C. and D.C. systems; overvoltage and lightning protection systems; grounding systems; voltage control
devices (tap-changer), power factor correction devices such as capacitors, reactors or static VAR
compensators and equipment such as phase shifting transformers). Transformer nameplate. Short-circuit
power and tripping time of protection devices. Sizing Substation transformer. [8 hours]
13. Power factor correction. Introduction to the power factor correction. Calculation of the power factor and of
the necessary reactive power. Choice, sizing and protection of capacitor banks. [5 hours]
14. Examples of design for residential and industrial power systems, and public lighting design. [3 hours]
