Electrical Design Services

Electrical Load provides a detailed breakdown of the power needs for various systems, such as lighting, HVAC, appliances, and equipment, typically expressed in kilowatts (kW) or amperes (A).

The load letter is often submitted to utility companies during the design phase to request new or upgraded electrical services. It helps utility providers determine the necessary infrastructure, such as transformers or service lines, to supply adequate power to the project. The letter also ensures that the building's electrical system is designed to meet current and future power demands while complying with local codes and standards.

We can solve the problem of your electrical load letter in a very effective manner. Our engineers will provide you with all the calculations of the electrical load that your facility can hold.

Voltage drop calculation is another essential service provided by electrical engineers. This process involves assessing the reduction in voltage as electrical current flows through a circuit. By performing voltage drop calculations, engineers can identify potential issues and optimize the design to maintain proper voltage levels.

Ways to Reduce Voltage Drops:

• Use Larger Conductors: Increase wire size to reduce resistance.
• Shorten Cable Length: Minimize the distance between the power source and load.
• Improve Conductor Material: Use high-conductivity materials like copper.
• Balance Loads: Distribute electrical loads evenly across circuits.
• Use Higher Voltage: Higher system voltage reduces current and voltage drop.
• Avoid Overloading Circuits: Ensure current flow stays within safe limits.
• Regular Maintenance: Inspect and maintain connections to reduce resistance.
• These methods help enhance efficiency and prevent equipment malfunctions caused by voltage drops.

Our electrical engineers will manage your entire project efficiently, from the design phase to execution. They will collaborate closely with your team to ensure all cost and time goals are met. Additionally, our technical experts will guide you through the entire compliance process, helping you understand the quality assurance requirements and regulatory benchmarks at every stage.

Determines the potential fault current that can occur during a short circuit event, such as when two conductors make unintended contact. These calculations are crucial for designing protective devices, ensuring system safety, and preventing damage to equipment. By analyzing the electrical network’s configuration, conductor sizes, transformer ratings, and impedances, engineers can predict the magnitude of fault currents. This information helps in selecting appropriate circuit breakers, fuses, and relays to protect the system, ensuring rapid response to faults and minimizing the risk of outages or hazards.

Following are the various benefits of the power system study calculations and analysis

• Enhanced Safety: Identifies potential hazards, reducing the risk of electrical failures and ensuring personnel safety.
• Optimized Equipment Protection: Ensures proper sizing and selection of protective devices like circuit breakers and fuses.
• Efficient Load Management: Balances electrical loads to avoid overloading and inefficiencies in the system.
• Compliance with Standards: Ensures the system meets regulatory requirements and industry standards.
• Cost Savings: Prevents costly equipment damage, downtime, and energy losses by improving system performance.
• Fault Diagnosis: Helps quickly locate and analyze faults, improving maintenance response times.
• Energy Efficiency: Identifies areas for system optimization, leading to reduced energy consumption.

We provide customized short-circuit calculations tailored to each project’s specific needs. By integrating all components and running simulations, we ensure the success of our designs. Our engineers will also ensure that your system and facility comply with regulatory standards, including the Chicago Building Code, NFPA, and IEEE requirements.

Electrical wire sizing is the process of determining the appropriate gauge or size of electrical wires required to safely carry the expected electrical load in a given application. Proper wire sizing is crucial for ensuring that the wiring can handle the current without overheating, which can lead to equipment damage, reduced efficiency, or even fire hazards. Factors influencing wire size include the type of load (residential, commercial, or industrial), the length of the wire run, the voltage drop allowed, and the ambient temperature. Guidelines provided by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and other standards help electricians and engineers select the right wire gauge, ensuring safe and reliable electrical installations while optimizing performance.

 NY Engineers can assist you in big time. Our professional staff has loads of experience in wire sizing services and they have worked in commercial, residential, and industrial sectors. This means that they know most of the brands and manufacturers and understand what measurements of their wirings are.

This will save you a lot of time finding all the sizes correctly. Nevertheless, we also safely cross-check the accuracy of measurements. Our engineers do this by examining the external side of the cable just outside the panel. This technique is far safer and quicker.
