This module introduces the fundamental and practical aspects of electrical load estimation and Master Single Line Diagram (SLD) development for building projects. Learners explore structured methods for calculating electrical loads using both area-based statements and discipline-specific actual loads, highlighting the importance of accurate early-stage estimation. The module also covers equipment configurations, diversity considerations, and key design basis indices essential for effective electrical planning. Participants gain insights into power distribution schemes, including single and double busbar arrangements, and learn how to integrate major equipment into a comprehensive Master SLD. Emphasis is placed on planning methodologies that ensure reliability, scalability, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency in building electrical systems, making the module suitable for design engineers, electrical planners, and professionals involved in conceptual and detailed engineering of building power infrastructure.
