Low voltage electrical installation of a craft beer brewery with transformation center

The following project consists on the electrical installation of an industrial unit, destinated to craft beer brewing, with transformation center. The different installation loads would be studied, machinery (necessary for beer elaboration) lighting (for a correct lighting in the different areas of the industrial unit) and power outlets. Once all the powers and currents have been calculated, the loads would be grouped in electrical panels, which would include their respective protections. Moreover, the conductors sections would be examined so there is an adequate supply and the necessary transformer would be chosen. Also, a capacitor bank would be selected for correcting the power factor to a unitary one. Likewise, the specification sheet, the budget and the basic health and safety study of the installation have been carried out. The current regulations set out in the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations have been followed at all times. For the project realization the following programmes have been used: • Autocad, for plan realization. • DIALux, for light calculations and the choice of lighting. • Excel, as a calculator to obtain powers, currents… • Word, for writing the project. The project structure is 8 well-defined documents: • Document No.1: Report • Document No.2: Calculations • Document No.3: Plans • Document No.4: Specification sheet • Document No.5: Budget • Document No.6: Basic health and safety study • Document No.7: Bibliography • Document No.8: Annexes
