ELECTRICAL LAYOUT PLAN AND ELEVATION

OBJECTIVES:
• Translate SLD into physical layout drawings.
• Ensure electrical clearances, access, and maintenance space.
• Coordinate with civil and mechanical disciplines.

KEY TOPICS:
• Equipment positioning (transformers, switchgear, control room, battery room).
• Electrical clearances (phase-to-phase, phase-to-earth, working space).
• Elevation views for cable trenches, overhead lines, and busducts.
• Equipment access and removal paths.
• Outdoor vs indoor layout considerations.

PRACTICAL FOCUS:
• Review real substation layout and elevation drawings (132kV).
• Exercise: Identify clearance violations in a sample layout.
• Create an elevation sketch for the transformer to switchgear connection.

SUGGESTED DIAGRAMS:
• Substation plan view with equipment coordinates.
• Elevation view showing clearances.

• Section through switchgear room.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Ability to produce and review layout drawings.
• Coordination with civil, structural, and mechanical teams.

STANDARDS & REFERENCES:
• IEC 61936, IEEE 142, NFPA 70E.
• Client-specific layout requirements.

CERTIFICATION & DELIVERY:
• Certificate of Completion awarded.
• Delivery Mode: Online (On-demand).

PREREQUISITES:
• Completion of Session 01 (SLD).
