Low- and Medium-Voltage Electrical Systems

1 AIA CES LU credit.

In this session, you will learn about the codes and standards regarding electrical system design, understand the basics of a single-line diagram, explore products and systems within the low- and medium-voltage classification, and review buildings in which both low- and medium-voltage electrical systems have been included, and their interaction.


Learning objectives:

  • Know the codes and standards that define electrical system design, including NFPA 70: National Electrical Code.
  • Understand the basics of a single-line diagram and the items included (transformer, switchgear, electrical panel, fuses/breakers, etc.).
  • Learn which products or systems typically fall into a low- or medium-voltage classification.
  • Review buildings in which both low- and medium-voltage electrical systems have been included, and their interaction.
