ME5507/ME5627: Electrical Distribution Design for a Building Supply

Foreword

The European Master’s in Translation network first published its framework for
translator and translation competence, including the well-known EMT “Wheel of Competence”, in January 2009. This has now become one of the leading reference standards for translator training and translation competence throughout the European Union and beyond, both in academic circles and in the language industry. Almost ten years on, the basic principles laid down in 2009 still stand, but it is time to reconsider the framework in light of the changes which have affected both the language industries and European universities.

In the translation industry, technological change has had an ever-increasing impact on the way translation services are performed, though human intelligence, knowledge and skills are still the key factors in delivering quality translations and the growing range of language services which translators and translation companies can provide. Market needs have also evolved, with the continuing expansion of English as a lingua franca creating new needs that can only be met by reversing the traditional “mother tongue” principle in some translation environments. Simultaneously, artificial intelligence and social media have considerably changed people’s relation to communication in general and translation in particular, with machine translation applications and other language tools now commonly available on desktop and mobile devices.

ME5507/ME5627: To exploit locally available wind power, an on-site micro-generator rated at less than 16 A is to be installed: Electrical Services Design Assignment, BUL, UK

Introduction

In this Assignment you will undertake a design exercise for a commercial building. Data are provided from which you are to design parts of the electrical distribution. The building will have a public network supply with the following declared supply characteristics: 300 Ampere, 400/230 volt, TP&N, 50 Hz Prospective short circuit current: 30 kA TNCS, Earth fault loop impedance: 0.10 Ω The incoming cable will terminate onto a main switchboard located on the ground floor. The Roof Distribution Board is fed from the Roof Plantroom Switchboard, but all other loads are fed radially from the main switchboard. The circuit details are shown in Table 1. The following assumptions are to be made:
(i) All loads are three phase and operate at unity power factor.
(ii) The ambient temperature will not exceed 30 C.
(iii) Cables are not installed in contact with any thermal insulation.
You will also have to make assumptions about the layout of the
distribution, and choose the cabling system.

1. (a) How do we ensure that the live conductors of a cable are adequately protected against the effects of overload?

(b) What limitations do we need to impose on the volt drop in electrical distribution design?
(c) Why are we required to calculate the value of prospective short circuit current at points in the distribution system?
(d) Why do we impose an upper limit on the earth fault loop impedance, ZS, for each circuit?
(e) How do we ensure that the circuit protective conductor is adequately protected against the effects of fault current?
2. (a) Draw a single-line schematic diagram of the electrical distribution.
(b) For both of the circuits ref. 6 and 7 state your choice of the type (not the size) of the following:-
(c) Calculate the cable sizes for circuits 6 and 7, demonstrating how you have satisfied each of the five requirements from

question 1.

3. To exploit locally available wind power, an on-site micro-generator rated at less than 16 A is to be installed.
(a) Illustrate on your single-line schematic how this might be connected to the distribution system.
(b) Explain how the generator connection can be designed to be compliant with the requirements from question 1.

This is gradually impacting the translation process and many translation markets, and has changed the perception of translation among the general public and among translation studies students and graduates. Technological and societal changes such as these need to be taken on board in academic translator training programmes, so that future graduates become aware of both the challenges and opportunities that they represent, and can adapt their skills and practices accordingly.

In October 2016, with future translation graduate employability firmly in mind, the EMT Board was given the remit of producing a new EMT competence framework. The new framework was expected to embody the founding principles of the EMT network, while incorporating the key competences and skills required of future translation graduates. The remit also included producing a simple, functional competence framework that could be used to assess the delivery of a common set of learning outcomes by universities wishing to join the EMT network in the next round of applications. Following a consultation process involving the network membership and language industry stakeholders, a draft framework was produced. This has now been adopted as the EMT competence framework for 2018-2024.
