2.1
Guidelines for the Remuneration of Architects and Engineers
and Regulations for Contracting System Installations

For the planning and project management of public contracts, the Regulations for
Contracting System Installations and the Guidelines for the Remuneration of Archi-
tects and Engineers are used exclusively. Invitations for bids, awarding of contracts,
performing the work contracted and invoicing of constructional services are summa-
rized in the Construction Services and serve as the legal basis for private construc-
tion contracts. Of particular interest here are the Agreement on Construction Ser-
vices (electrical cable and line systems in buildings), (General Regulations for Con-
structions of all Types) and (Lightning Protection Systems) [1].
The Regulations for Contracting System Installations regulates the payments and
describes the services in detail, as well as specifying acceptable ranges of remunera-
tion (Table 2.1).

Table 2.1: Acceptable ranges of remuneration

Remuneration range I Simple low voltage and telephone installations

Remuneration range II Compact stations, low-voltage installations and distribution systems
telecommunication installation not belonging to remuneration ranges
I and III,
lightning protection systems, lighting systems
Remuneration range III High-voltage and medium-voltage systems,
low-voltage switchgear, current generating and converting systems,
low-voltage line systems and lighting systems requiring
extensive planning costs, large telephone systems and networks

The Engineering Services Manual deals with all contractors' services. The electri-
cal system planner determines his costs, following the prescribed cost groups. Engi-
neering services can be described either inthe form of a directory of services (scope
book) or in the form of a system description. The individual items include details by
number of times applicable, meter or lump sums.

The system description contains only the equipping and function of the electrical
systems. The contracting company is obligated to submit any criticism of the pro-
posed work in writing prior to beginning the work. The contracting company must
take into proper account the validity of regulations and the transitional periods
defined for new regulations.
After completing the contracted work, the contractor must also supply overview
circuit diagrams and installation plans. Prior to commissioning, IEC 60 364 Part 61
requires that the system be tested with respect to operational capability. Detailed
descriptions can be found in the Expert's Planning Guide [2].
The project is carried out e.g. according to the following sequential steps:
. Customer consultation
. Preliminary design and submission of bid
. Cost estimate
. Negotiations
. Beginning of project, processing
. Creation of project plan, invitation for bids
. Writing contracts for the system
. Carrying out, monitoring
. Installation of the system
. Commissioning, measurements
. Turnover, documentation, warranty

2.2
Guidelines for Project Planning of Electrical Systems

The following circuit diagrams, drawings and technical documents are required for
the installation of electrical systems:
1. Power balance of entire system
± low voltage (230 V, 400 V, 690 V)
± medium voltage (6 kV, 10 kV, 20 kV)
± high voltage, as required (110 kV, 220 kV, 380 kV)
2. Motor lists in accordance with IEC 34
± rated power in kW
± rated voltage in V
± rated motor speed in rpm
± rated torque in Nm
± moment of inertia in kg/m2
± ambient temperature in C
± motor type and class
± design, size and type of protection
± manufacturer, accessories
± terminal designations
± load data, mode of operation
 2.2 Guidelines for Project Planning of Electrical Systems 5

± breakaway torque, starting current

± efficiency
± operating cycle
3. Overview circuit diagrams An overview diagram is the simplified representa-
tion of a circuit. It shows the functional principle and the structure of an elec-
trical system and includes e.g. voltages, frequency, power, terminal designa-
tions and transformer data.
4. Network diagrams The network diagram shows all connections and parts of a
network, not drawn to scale.
5. Single-line or three-line diagrams
These diagrams include e.g.
± high-voltage switchgear
± medium-voltage switchgear
± low-voltage switchgear
± light distributions
± power distributions
± weak current distributions
± DC current distributions
± Standby power supply
6. Location diagram The location diagram includes the installation locations of
all operational equipment.
7. Routing diagrams
Routing diagrams show the type of cable installation within a building or
system part, e.g. on cable racks.
8. Construction details All electrical objects, such as transformers, switchrooms,
cable ducts, cutouts and cable and line installation, are shown in their correct
locations.
9. Functional descriptions
The function of the system, all operating conditions, the number and type of
controls in the form of a logic diagram, functional diagram and structogram
or equipotential bonding diagram are described in detail. Circuit diagrams
can be created on the basis of these.
10. Circuit diagrams A circuit diagram is the detailed representation of a system
or circuit with its details. All overcurrent protection equipment and units,
terminals and terminal strips, cable installation types, cross-sections, power
ratings, voltages and frequencies must be entered. The list of components
includes all units shown in the circuit diagram.
11. Terminal and cross-connection diagrams (execution company)
Terminal and cross-connection diagrams are connection diagrams for termi-
nal strips in cross-connection fields. They represent the electrical connections
of the system. Terminal numbers, destination names and cable types must
be specified.
12. Cable list
The cable list shows the cable number, type, cross-section, voltage, number of
cores, interconnections of grounding electrodes.

13. Weak current systems

Weak current systems, such as intercom, telephone and fire alarm systems,
must be shown on separate installation diagrams.
14. Material lists
Material lists include all documentation for the quality of the electrical mate-
rial and for the specification of installations as described in the project.
15. Installation schedule
The entire installation schedule, including periods for the specified tasks and
time in hours, is summarized.
16. Documentation
Following installation of the systems, all drawings, documents and measure-
ment certificates must be checked for correctness and if necessary corrected.

As an example of modern project planning programs, you will find on the CD

which accompanies this book. This software enables rational planning, calculations,
administration and archiving in the distribution cabinet.
