Maximum demand and protection
Calculate maximum load demand and size circuit breakers. Review overcurrent, earth-fault and earth-leakage protection, discrimination and protection settings for the revised installation.
A new layout or equipment addition can place different demands on an existing installation. ETES plans electrical additions and alterations around those changes, combining load calculations with power, lighting and ELV design and installation.

Calculate maximum load demand and size circuit breakers. Review overcurrent, earth-fault and earth-leakage protection, discrimination and protection settings for the revised installation.
Design main switchboards, sub-boards and distribution boards. Size circuit breakers and cables using Ecodial and Vipcoda, then install the power distribution system.
Use manufacturers’ IES photometric files in DIALux to plan the lighting. Set luminaire spacing and mounting height to achieve the intended illuminance in lux.
Coordinate extra-low-voltage systems with the electrical alterations, customer specifications and agreed programme.
Share what you have. We can identify the remaining information together.
Use these points to define the proposal, responsibilities and records your team needs. Final deliverables depend on the agreed scope.
A record of existing conditions, proposed changes and circuits affected by the work.
Work stages, access arrangements and isolation plans for occupied facilities.
Updated drawings and verification records for the modified installation.
A&A means additions and alterations to an existing installation. It can include new or relocated circuits, revised lighting, distribution changes and ELV work needed for a renovation or change of use.
Retention depends on condition, suitability and the requirements of the revised design. Identify the equipment you want to keep so it can be assessed before the new work is specified.
The total demand may remain similar, but the receiving circuits and distribution boards can be affected. Equipment ratings, connection details and the revised positions help determine what needs to be reviewed.
