power circuit calculations

power circuit calculations

(OP)
hii.. im new in the field of power electronics.. currently im an engineering trainee with TYCO electronics.i hv done my engineering in electrical and electronics
i need sum help in knowing how to make the power circuit and control circuit drawings for a switch board design.
i want to know how to go about with these drawings n material which i should go through.

RE: power circuit calculations

If you can, find some similar drawings that your company has and used those as a reference.  There should be several people in your company who have made similar drawings that can provide some assistance.

Is your question referring to software or construction materials and specs?

If it is broken, fix it.  If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.

RE: power circuit calculations

This link might be a good starting point for the heavy current parts of the board. There is other information on the CDA website which might be of interest too. Have a look.

RE: power circuit calculations

Software for drafting --> AutoCAD
For the draftings like TurbineGen said check in your company for older draftings. That is from what I started, now they are working with my drafting as a roll model for newbies. The way how technical drafting should look like are usually defined in national standards, At least that is the case here in Russia (I work for Austrian company, but I need to honor Russian drafting specification on that matter).
My advice to you, If you draft so that electrical salesman can recognize equipment on your drafting you did a good job :)

RE: power circuit calculations

You will probably also get more help if you learn to type in complete sentences, using complete words, constructed in proper grammar, and then spell checked.  u is not a word, nor is hv (HV is high voltage but doesn't work in context), nor is ppl (parts per liter?).  That kind of writing (?) may be appropriate else where, but generally doesn't get very far here?

I'm sorry davidbeach.. I seem to have unneccessarily hurt you.. My intensions were not so..
My main concern was to get the informaion which i was looking for, which i have got thanks to ssolobodan, ScottyUK and TurbineGen.

As far as using the aforementioned language is concerned, i wasn't aware that you couln't use it in a public forum like this site.

Thanks a ton for informing me.

Regards,
Rashi

RE: power circuit calculations

rashi;  Part of it is that this site is intended for professionals speaking with other professionals who are often not English native speakers.  Many times it is obvious these non-English speakers are even working through a translator.  Chat-room/instant messaging abbreviations and non-punctuation raise havoc with those participants.

Furthermore we are talking about subjects that need as much clarity as possible for answers to be understood and comprehended.  These details can be clouded or lost while readers are focused on decrypting the strange text.

That's why we want as clear questions as we can get.

Thanks.
