the Electrical Distribution Systems for Hospitals - Part Two
in the previous Topic; the Electrical Distribution Systems for Hospitals - Part One, we talk about types
of Electrical Distribution Systems for Health Care Facilities and we mentioned that the Essential
electrical system will include the following two sub-system:
1- Emergency system: which include the following two branches: (see fig.1)
Life Safety Branch.
Critical Branch.
2- Equipment System/branch.
I explained in this previous topic the Life Safety Branch and Critical Branch.
You can review the following previous topics for more information and good following:
the Electrical Design Requirements for Health Care Facilities Part One
the Electrical Design Requirements for Health Care Facilities Part Two
Today, i will explain the second branch of Essential electrical system which is Equipment System/branch
as follows.
2- Equipment System/Branch:
Definition: A subsystem of the essential electrical system consisting of The feeder conductors and
equipment used to supply electrical power to the equipment branch of the essential electrical system.
the Equipment that fed from Equipment System/Branch will be divided into three ttypes as follows:
