ABSTRACT
The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is the accepted skills training
programme which forms a part of the approved minimum academic standards in the various
5 | Page
degree programmes for all universities in Nigeria. Students in various tertiary institutions in
Nigeria who offer certain courses are obligated to take part in this training scheme.
The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme makes it possible for students to connect theory
with practical by exposing them to Industrial experience. This report distinctly expatiate on the
roles performed by Rajtech Innovation Company Limited, scope of work of several projects, the
knowledge acquired in the electrical department of the company during projects accomplishment
and work related challenges encountered during my sojourn in the company.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was initiated in 1973 by the
Industrial Training Fund (ITF). This was to update practical knowledge of students in Nigerian
Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology. It was aimed at bridging the gap between
the theoretical knowledge acquired in classes and the technical knowledge required in the
industries, by providing students with the opportunities to apply their educational knowledge in
real work situations. Over the years, SIWES has contributed immensely to the building and
development of a pool of indigenous technical skills in Nigeria. These technical skills have been
fundamental towards the technological growth of Nigeria. SIWES gives students the opportunity
6 | Page
to blend theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom with practical hands-on application of
knowledge required to perform work in the industry. Also, it prepares students for employment &
makes the transition from school to the world of work easier after graduation. I did my SIWES
training at Transocean Support
Incorporated to the Electrical and electronics the internship is to introduce the student to the
main skill of electrical and electronics engineering in the current industry and understanding how
problems are being solved.
The internship experience was located on a site where electrical services are being exercised as
an important part in the construction of a residential estate which is fully observed by my
organization, services rendered by the organization includes electrical services, mechanical
services, maintenance and renovation, industrial borehole drilling, water treatment, procurement,
consulting and installation services.
As an intern I was working with the organization site based supervisor as an assistant in fixing of
all boxes and pipes wiring, planning and solving some problems together.

Plumbing consultants are a great resource. There are many situations that can benefit from the
advice from our plumbing consultant, like building a new home, remodeling, repairing a leak,
installing new plumbing, or replacing fixtures. A plumbing consultant will give you unbiased
advice on the best way to go about your projects so that you can minimize time and errors and
maximize your outcome. If you are building a new home, plumbing consulting will come out to
your home site, assess the situation, and make recommendations to you regarding your best
15 | P a g e
options for plumbing installation in your new home. This will set you on the right path before the
plumbing is even installed so that you have the ideal plumbing setup for your new home. Advice
from an expert is worthwhile whether you intend to install the plumbing yourself or hire a
plumber to do the job for you.
Our Electrical Consultant will help you plan a state of power management and help in design and
distribution of power with appropriate methods to meet the requirement in future use. Power is
very important so it needs a proper and qualified consultant like Rajtech to guide. Our Electrical
services include, but are not limited to Lighting, Power and Control Design, Power Distribution,
Lighting Systems, Control System Upgrade and Replacement, Energy Audits, Switchgear,
Emergency Power Systems, Power Quality, Lightning Protection.

We offer a complete service, which covers all aspects of borehole design, drilling, groundwork,
pump installation and any type of water treatment services. Through our wealth of experience,
we have trained and equipped a good number of individuals and companies in setting up their
own quality drinking water. A borehole is the generalised term for any narrow shaft drilled in the
ground, either vertically or horizontally. A borehole may be constructed for many different
purposes including the extraction of water or other liquid.
Typically, a borehole used is completed by installing a vertical pipe (casing) and well screen to
keep the borehole from caving. This also helps prevent surface contaminants from entering the
borehole and protects any installed pump from drawing in sand and sediment.
We also offer extensive services to assist with the maintenance and improvement of existing
installations.

Centralized Systems
A centralized system is one in which all the high-voltage circuits are terminated within a
Crestron home automation enclosure and operate under a central control system. In a centralized
design, the high-voltage lighting, fans, motors, and switch circuits are individually wired directly
to the control modules in the Crestron home automation enclosure. The modules are controlled
by low voltage or RF user interfaces in the living area. This simplifies the high-voltage wiring
and creates a flexible and efficient design.
A central processor, connected via a local area network to the lighting modules and the user
interfaces, is dedicated to lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security. Other processors that are
20 | P a g e
dedicated to other home control systems can communicate via Ethernet, RS-232, or RS-422 to
the lighting processor and eliminate the need for additional controls for other home systems.
Separating home safety and life support systems from information and entertainment systems
provides a flexible design solution and a fully integrated home control.
Decentralized Systems
A decentralized system is the traditional wiring system of individual lighting circuits with local
control. Crestron iLux devices provide the power and flexibility of automated control combined
with local control.
Creston ilux
The iLux CLS-C6 is a complete, integrated lighting system designed for wall mount installation
in boardrooms, auditoriums, home theaters, or anywhere versatile and cost-effective control of
lighting and shades is required. The Crestron® reputation for innovation and reliability—
combined with high-quality integrated dimming, native shade control, configurable rocker
buttons, extensive integration ability, and many other advanced features—makes iLux the ideal
choice for all types of room lighting and shade control applications.
Hybrid Systems
The most efficient and attractive lighting system designs are a hybrid of centralized processing
and distributed dimmers. This provides the reliability of local control along with sophisticated
central control, and limits the amount of wall clutter created by too many different controls. A
complete Crestron design is a blend of distributed and centralized design in which central control
intelligence and distributed local dimmers form a reliable whole house lighting control solution.
Large rooms, stairways, and frequently used rooms are often remotely controlled using the
astronomical time clock or whole-house presets. This level of control requires connection to a
central dimming controller. Each room is equipped with a low voltage or wireless keypad for
preset selection and audio/video integration. All of the dimmers in the system (grouped into the
central controller for wiring convenience) communicate with each other through the Crestron
control system, providing a complete, integrated Crestron home design.
21 | P a g e
Wiring Plan
The wiring plan includes all enclosures and the interconnecting wiring.
The designer determines the location of the enclosure(s), the route of keypad and touch screens
connections to the enclosure(s), the route of the interconnecting cable from the processor to the
other enclosure(s), and the high voltage load routes to the enclosure or dimmer.
Ensure there are enough connectors and power (PAC2 offers 50 W) in the main enclosure for all
the user interfaces. Each additional enclosure filled with dimmers is connected to the main
enclosure and processor using low voltage wire. Dimmer enclosures are distributed as needed.

One line diagram is a generalized way of Electrical design representation using standard
schematic symbols.
Radial System: This is a system with one power supply to all the loads. It means that the power
source must be sized 100% or more of the total load.
Selective System: This is when there are more than one source of power supply to a network,
with one redundant. This increases the reliability of the system by creating options.
23 | P a g e
Figure 4:A selective system one line diagram
Loop System: This is a system, like the selective system, that has two power supplies with both
powering both end of the network. It’s more reliable with corresponding high cost.
Luminous flux: This is the quantity of light emitted by a light source or received on a surface. In
other words, the amount of lumen emanated from a lamp is synonymous to the rate of luminous
energy from the lamp. The SI unit is lumen.
Illuminance: This is the quantity of light which is radiated on a surface or a plane figure. It is
also the light arriving at a surface, expressed in lumens per unit area; 1 lumen per square meter
equals 1lux.
24 | P a g e
Luminous Intensity: This is the quantity of light that is radiated to a specific direction. The SI
unit is candela (cd)
Luminaire: This is the lighting fixture installed in various buildings.
Efficacy: The ratio of light produced to energy consumed. It's measured as the number of lumens
produced divided by the rate of electricity consumption (lumens per watt).
Glare: The excessive brightness from a direct light source that makes it difficult to see what one
wishes to see. A bright object in front of a dark background usually will cause glare.
Colour Temperature: The colour of the light source. By convention, yellow-red colours (like
the flames of a fire) are considered warm, and blue-green colours (like light from an overcast
sky) are considered cool. Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) temperature.
Colour Rendition: How colours appear when illuminated by a light source. Colour rendition is
generally considered to be a more important lighting quality than colour temperature. Most
objects are not a single colour, but a combination of many colours. Light sources that are
deficient in certain colours may change the apparent colour of an object. The Colour Rendition
Index (CRI) is a 1–100 scale that measures a light source's ability to render colours the same way
sunlight does.
25 | P a g e
Figure 5:First floor lighting design
In larger installations (where the Three Phase load exceeds 90A), the building will need to have
its own transformer, so as to preserve the stability of the 415V line. In such scenarios a redundant
or backup generators are usually required so as to minimize the downtime.
Power Distribution
An electric power distribution system is the final stage in the delivery of electric power; it carries
electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations
connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage
ranging between 2 kV and 35 kV with the use of transformers. Primary distribution lines carry
26 | P a g e
this medium voltage power to distribution transformers located near the customer's premises.
Distribution transformers again lower the voltage to the utilization voltage of household
appliances and typically feed several customers through secondary distribution lines at this
voltage. Commercial and residential customers are connected to the secondary distribution lines
through service drops. Customers demanding a much larger amount of power may be connected
directly to the primary distribution level or the sub transmission level.
Power Distribution in a building or establishment could be at either High Voltage (HV) or Low
Voltage (LV).
single-phase supplies. These are nominal voltages, the actual voltage may
vary by ± 10%. The intake to buildings that have a low voltage supply is
supply to the premises which is typically eleven thousand volts (11 kV).
For the consumer, a high voltage supply will incur significantly higher
capital and operating costs than a low voltage supply. This is due to the
following reasons:
27 | P a g e
DISTRIBUTION PANELS
A distribution board is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical
power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each
circuit in a common enclosure. Normally, a main switch, and in recent boards, one or more
residual-current devices (RCD) or residual current breakers with overcurrent protection (RCBO),
are also incorporated.

3.2.6 CABLE SIZING AND SELECTION
A Cable is an assembly of conductors held together with an overall sheath for transmission of
electrical power from electricity source such as transformer, generator, MCC, switchgear,
distribution panel etc. to the terminal of utilisation equipment.
It is generally made of materials which are good conductors of electricity like copper and
aluminium. Great percentage of the cables is made using copper because of its being a very good
conductor and less vulnerability to environmental attack.
Cables consist of three major components:
Conductors
Insulation
Protective jacket.
The components of individual cables varies according to application. The construction and
material are determined by three main factors:
Working voltage, determining the thickness of the insulation
Cables for direct burial or for exposed installations may also include metal armour in the form of
wires spiralled around the cable, or a corrugated tape wrapped around it.
The armour may be made of steel or aluminium, and although connected to earth ground, it is not
intended to carry current during normal operations.
30 | P a g e
TYPES OF CABLE INSULATION
They are commonly classified based on the insulation type that exist on the cables such as:
Thermoplastic ( PVC)

4.3 CONCLUSION
The experience I gained during my industrial training has enabled understand and appreciate
I got to perform work relating to practical application of what I had learnt in the classroom and
even beyond. I would like to say that SIWES is a very important part of our curriculum that
moulds our lives for the future especially in line with our career choices. It bridges the gap
between the classroom and the Industry and it should not be taken with levity.
4.4 Recommendation
• The Department and University should assist students in securing IT placements.
• The University should ensure that students are adequately monitored during the program.
