First Seminar

Application of PEC Complaint and Design Analysis

The Seminar held at 24 of January 2018 in AVR( audio visual room), talks about the study of
electrical system design, installation and cost estimation for commercial and industrial establishments,
guided by the provisions of the Philippine Electrical Code(PEC) and other relevant laws and standard.
Since the objective of this seminars is to have an idea with regards to safe use of electricity to meet the
standard in a commercial and industrial building, same as the adequacy to ensure the safety of
electricity for the construction and installation. The first topic is all about the design requirement with
regards to Faulty wire. The first requirement is that the system is compatible to the operational
requirements and maintenance, then comply for the following criteria and also meet all specification,
requirement on a right way.

PEC covers the electric conductors including optical fiber cable and installed within or on, to or
from: Public and private buildings, Electrical generating plants, Temporary and permanent substations,
Industrial plants, Transformer stations, Railway switchyards, Yards, carnival, parking, etc.. Watercraft,
Dockyards, Airfields, Quarries and mines, Mobile homes, travel trailers and recreational vehicles,
Offshore facilities and Other premises which requires electrical installation except to those which are
done in; a) Aircraft b) motor vehicles c) railway rolling stocks.

Second Seminar

Permit Design Inspection

Permit design Inspection is the second session held at AVR ( audio visual room) in the same day.
A permit is required before undertaking any electrical installation. An inspection is also required after
which certificate of electrical inspection (CEI) is issued by the authority. A permit is not required for the
installation of electrical portable equipment rated not more than 1,200 VA and reconnection of
disconnected service due to non-payment of electric bill or change of occupants for a period of one
year.

But before a permit is approved the design is done in accordance with the P.E.C. and all
electrical works shall comply with the provisions of all authorities having juris- diction on the use of
electrical power. A Professional Electrical Engineer is liable to check Design and analyse base on the
standard like a PEE read about LEGEND AND SYMBOLS use in the design, then the LOCATION PLAN If the
Location or site plan with proposed structures and owner’s land drawn to appropriate metric scale shall
show Bordering areas showing public or well known streets. Location of service drop, service equipment
and nearest pole of the utility company furnishing electrical energy. Clearance of the path or run of
service drops and service structure wires to adjacent existing or proposed structures and also RISER
DIAGRAM and all about proposed design.

Third Seminar

Substation Operation

This Seminars entitled Substation operation talks about how the substation work and distribute
the electricity to different areas. A substation can be categorized into two types , Distribution Substation
and Transmission Distribution. But Engr. Herson S. Manimtim focus only on Distribution substation since
he is the one of the Engr. In Batelec 2And also he says, a cooperative substation like batelec 2 is non
profitable because according to him the losses that the batelec 2 manage below the a set range will
return to the employee while the losses beyond the set range will be the losses of the cooperative and
will get to the consumer bill in the way of increasing the pesos per kwh power consumption. In that
sense I think anyone who get their job in batelec have an average salary.

In distribution substation the following are the substation equipment: Air break switch , power
fuse, current Transformer, potential Transformer, current relay, power transformer, power circuit
requirements, power transformer, switch gear, recloser, capacitor Automatic VR Station service and
form , Charger and Battery and lighting Arrester / surge arrester . A substation procedure also discuss in
the seminar. One of the example is during normal condition – the substation is energize, same as during
fault condition – this are fault in the feeder or fault on the load side and the last one is during closed
fault condition – closing the feeder.

Fourth Seminar

Fundamentals on power System Three phase Distribution System

In the second session of the seminar in the 31st of January 2018 at AVR ( Audio Visual Room)
Engr. Arvin Barbosa discuss the importance of Power System Analysis in the field of Engr. If your job
choice is in the distribution company like batelec 2. The topic or outline of the seminar with Engr.
Barbosa starts in Philippine Power Industry which is Load flow is important followed the power system
representation discuss the importance of electrical symbols and calculation of per unit also as an engr.
An advantage to the other if we already know how to read a plan using electrical symbols.

We already know in three phase balanced all 3 phase transformer are balanced same as the load
together voltage are 3 phase. But in practical there are no balanced load and used symmetrical balanced
computation in distribution like lines are transposed, three phase banks are not identical loads are not
balanced , presence of three phase and single phase lines and also faults. Engr. Barbosa also discuss or
show a brief review of the most common formula should be use when an engr. Is in the field of
distribution system same as the Load Flow. He share to us the procedure of load flow analysis .
