Electrical Design

Electrical system design is the design of electrical systems. This can be as simple as a flashlight cell connected through two wires to a light bulb or as involved as the space shuttle. Electrical systems are groups of electrical components connected to carry out some operation. Often the systems are combined with other systems. They might be subsystems of larger systems and have subsystems of their own. For example a subway rapid transit electrical system is composed of the wayside electrical power supply, wayside control system, and the electrical systems of each transit car. Each transit car’s electrical system is a subsystem of the subway system. Inside of each transit car there are also subsystems, such as the car climate control syste
Simple systems can be created by one person and require minimal records. Large systems require large teams of people and many paper and electronic records. On larger projects a company would have an electrical systems engineering department.
With larger systems, if proper records are not kept, the construction is not neat, or care is not taken to follow appropriate standards (such as those of the National Electrical Code), the created electrical system is not likely to function as desired. To paraphrase a manager’s description of a moderate sized electrical system that his company haphazardly created, “…the wiring looked like spaghetti…it caught fire when power was applied…we settled with the customer and quit the project.”
