Development of Mobile and Computer Application Based on Philippine Electrical Code (2017) for Single and Three-Phase Electrical Designing
Keywords:
Electrical Design , Load Scheduling, Philippine Electrical Code, Voltage Drop AnalysisAbstract
This paper gives the design and development of an overall application for Electrical Design and Load Scheduling using the 2017 edition of the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC). The software is specially developed to aid engineers, electricians, and students in automating and streamlining the task of designing electrical systems of residential and commercial buildings. It offers essential computational resources that assist in PEC compliance as well as improved efficiency and precision in system planning. The program accommodates both Single-Phase and Three-Phase electrical systems and features an extensive array of capabilities, such as voltage drop analysis, load calculation, demand factor consideration, and safe branch circuit distribution. These capabilities are essential in avoiding overload, ensuring energy efficiency, and enhancing safety in electrical installations. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it possible for even inexperienced individuals to carry out complicated electrical calculations with ease. Through the combination of smart computation and code compliance, the app combines theoretical knowledge with actual practice in electrical engineering.
