Course Description
This course is dedicated to students looking to acquire electrical low-voltage power design experience from scratch.
This course covers low voltage distribution system design-related topics for a total duration of 10 hours.
Essentially, the course begins section 1 by introducing the well-known drawing software "AutoCAD" and emphasizing its different toolbar options to prepare the student to be familiar with its use. Consequently, lighting design and lux calculations using DIALux software are fully explained in section 2 to prepare the lighting distribution system that will be explained and designed as a following step in section 3.
After that, lighting & power systems distribution are covered in sections 3 & 4, which in turn prepares the student to understand how to gather information and calculate the total connected loads following the lighting and power designed layouts to be reflected in the panel schedules and single line diagrams which will be explained in the 5th section of this course.
Once reaching this stage of the course, you will have to perform a range of low voltage system-related calculations of sizing Transformers, Generators, Cables, Circuit Breakers, calculations of voltage drop and short circuit current levels & power factor correction to ensure a safe design for the entire system for the aim of reflecting the calculated values in the single line diagram of the project. All these calculations will be explained separately in detail using simple steps that you can apply manually and with the help of predefined Excel sheets for solving different formulas in section 6.
The last section of this course covers the earthing & lightning system topics, emphasizing their different types, components & the appropriate methods to design these systems following international standards.
Furthermore, design topics in this course are explained by exploring pictures of different electrical equipment installed on the site to clarify the bond between the design and real site installations.
Besides, the course is enhanced with a variety of helpful resources that are attached to it.
In a nutshell, the sections of this course are arranged in ascending relevant stages, starting from section 1, which introduces AutoCAD, and finalizing the course by explaining the earthing & lightning systems which could be designed in the last stages of the design.

Great course to learn designing in its simple way. Your explanations are quite good and easy to understand. It would have been better if you had explained the installation of systems as well (like hights of installation, minimum gap between two points of devices like lights, sockets and other more details on installation). Providing the standards and codes of IEC, NEC, BS etc soft copies as resources would have been an excellent favour to your students. Anyways, learned more than I expected in this course. Thanks

Quality delivery, looking forward to your courses on ELV systems I would recommend this course to any Electrical Building Service Engineer But you can do better with the volume, had to procure an headset, much more against my will, as i dislike plugging gadgets to my ears Thank you

This was a highly beneficial refresher course for construction-based electrical engineers, expertly delivered by the instructor.

Very good training content to refresh all the topics once learned in school and my earlier working days. Each topic is explained in detail especially those in Sections 6 and 7 working through the steps and formulas. Examples with explanations help to grasp the concept and the salient points for each topic.

Very good because he explain well and the way he explain anyone could understand even show you the parts he's drawing example like the floor box for a novis who haven't be to the site or a not electrical engineer wouldn't know what is he talking about. Very good
By Yatin Patel on 11/30/2022
Only Last three Section is Interesting, and vey useful, Starting introduction With auto cad and Lighting Section not so Good. as per subject Should be more focus with Assignment, More Example, Please be more Design topic or example should be added.

I entered the construction recently, and I came from a HV engineering in a power utility. This course laid down the foundation for me to develop in LV Power distribution particularly for consulting. Went beyond my expectations. Money well spent!
By Shoaib Shah on 9/6/2021
The course is excellent, very well explained, although initially it starts with basic but once we proceed, its level of difficulty increases. It could be improved by explaining more about the calculations in the earthing and Lightning Section. Recommenced.

This is the best course i have had, the instructor is informative and clearly explain the concept in detail
By Ghazi Ghazi on 3/14/2021
I have worked in the field of electrical installations a contractor for 20 years and I was anxious to get some exposure to the design side since I am an electrical engineer. This course was the answer. I recommend it to all engineers working in the field of electrical low voltage distribution
