For international quality buildings there are lot of electrical systems are there which shall be designed and erected as per international codes and standards like NEC. The improper designs of a project of Electrical systems without proper calculations will result in dangerous situations. This module contains lighting system, power system, fire alarm system, Telephone system, CCTV, MATV, clock, nurse call, data and networking cabling which are required to be carried out by an Electro Mechanical Contracting Company.
BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Electrical Engineering is a very wide field in Engineering. As the development in different countries all over the world is increasing, the scope of Electrical Engineering and the demand for Electrical Engineers are also increasing.
