Exchange Electrical Model - Systems

Exchange of information about electrical systems (circuits), their distribution, connection, switching, protection etc.

Please ensure that you have read the process mapping document 'pm_electrical_engineering' before proceeding with this exchange requirement.

This exchange requirement describes the information to be provided about electrical systems. It allows for the provision of information at various stages during the design process including:

• Representation of components and their relation to spatial structures (sites, buildings and spaces) without connection to systems
• Representations that connect terminal and components using simple line based connection or logical connection (indication of connection between items without physical representation) at early design stages that enable routing, terminal and component location information to be exchanged;
• Full 3D shape representations at detailed design stages that enable coordination between different building services systems, between services and structure and between services and the building construction elements.

Information items that may be required about electrical systems include:

• System name
• Terminal type, size, location, orientation, and electrical characteristics.
• Control (switchgear) size, location, orientation, and electrical characteristics
• Component type, size, location, orientation, and electrical characteristics
• Appliance type size, location, orientation and electrical characteristics
• Cable and conductor section size, shape, location, and electrical characteristics
• Cable carrier (conduit, tray, trunking, ladder) section size, shape, location, orientation and related cables
• Cable carrier fitting type, size, location
• Shape of elements
• Occurrences of types of terminal, switchgear, component, appliance, cable, conductor and cable carrier
• Reference to other technical components requiring and electrical supply
• Connections between elements in the electrical system
• Material from which elements are constructed
• Classification of elements
