Pset_DistributionSystemTypeElectrical
ElectricalSystemType
Label
For certain purposes of electrical regulations, IEC 60364 defines types of system using type identifiers. Assignment of identifiers depends upon the relationship of the source, and of exposed conductive parts of the installation, to Ground (Earth). Identifiers that may be assigned through IEC 60364 are:
•TN type system, a system having one or more points of the source of energy directly earthed, the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to that point by protective conductors,
•TN C type system, a TN type system in which neutral and protective functions are combined in a single conductor throughout the system,
•TN S type system, a TN type system having separate neutral and protective conductors throughout the system,
•TN C S type system, a TN type system in which neutral and protective functions are combined in a single conductor in part of the system,
•TT type system, a system having one point of the source of energy directly earthed, the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to earth electrodes electrically independent of the earth electrodes of the source,
•IT type system, a system having no direct connection between live parts and Earth, the exposed conductive parts of the electrical installation being earthed.
ElectricalSystemCategory
Label
Designates the voltage range of the circuit, according to IEC. HIGHVOLTAGE indicates >1000V AC or >1500V DV; LOWVOLTAGE indicates 50-1000V AC or 120-1500V DC; EXTRALOWVOLTAGE indicates <50V AC or <120V DC.
Diversity
Positive Ratio Measure

value or as a percentage, of the
simultaneous maximum demand of
a group of electrical appliances or
consumers within a specified period,
to the sum of their individual maximum
demands within the same
period. The group of electrical appliances is in this case connected to this circuit. Defenition from IEC 60050, IEV 691-10-04
NOTE1: It is often not desirable to size each conductor in a distribution system to support the total connected load at that point in the network. Diversity is applied on the basis of the anticipated loadings that are likely to result from all loads not being connected at the same time.
NOTE2: Diversity is applied to final circuits only, not to sub-main circuits supplying other DBs.
NumberOfLiveConductors
Integer
Number of live conductors within this circuit. Either this property or the ConductorFunction property (if only one) may be asserted.
MaximumAllowedVoltageDrop
Electric Voltage Measure
The maximum voltage drop across the circuit that must not be exceeded.
There are two voltage drop limit settings that may be applied; one for sub-main circuits, and one in each Distribution Board or Consumer Unit for final circuits connected to that board. The settings should limit the overall voltage drop to the required level. Default settings of 1.5% for sub-main circuits and 2.5% for final circuits, giving an overall limit of 4% may be applied.
NOTE: This value may also be specified as a constraint within an IFC model if required but is included within the property set at this stage pending implementation of the required capabilities within software applications.

ContributedLuminousFlux
Luminous Flux Measure
Luminous flux is a photometric measure of radiant flux, i.e. the volume of light emitted from a light source. Luminous flux is measured either for the interior as a whole or for a part of the interior (partial luminous flux for a solid angle). All other photometric parameters are derivatives of luminous flux. Luminous flux is measured in lumens (lm). The luminous flux is given as a nominal value for each lamp.

Label
The type of ballast used to stabilise gas discharge by limiting the current during operation and to deliver the necessary striking voltage for starting. Ballasts are needed to operate Discharge Lamps such as Fluorescent, Compact Fluorescent, High-pressure Mercury, Metal Halide and High-pressure Sodium Lamps.
Magnetic ballasts are chokes which limit the current passing through a lamp connected in series on the principle of self-induction. The resultant current and power are decisive for the efficient operation of the lamp. A specially designed ballast is required for every type of lamp to comply with lamp rating in terms of Luminous Flux, Color Appearance and service life. The two types of magnetic ballasts for fluorescent lamps are KVG Conventional (EC-A series) and VVG Low-loss ballasts (EC-B series). Low-loss ballasts have a higher efficiency, which means reduced ballast losses and a lower thermal load. Electronic ballasts are used to run fluorescent lamps at high frequencies (approx. 35 - 40 kHz).

Numeric Measure
The spectrum of radiation describes its composition with regard to wavelength. Light, for example, as the portion of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, is radiation with wavelengths in the range of approx. 380 to 780 nm (1 nm = 10 m). The corresponding range of colours varies from violet to indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. These colours form a continuous spectrum, in which the various spectral sectors merge into each other.
ColorTemperature
Thermodynamic Temperature Measure
The color temperature of any source of radiation is defined as the temperature (in Kelvin) of a black-body or Planckian radiator whose radiation has the same chromaticity as the source of radiation. Often the values are only approximate color temperatures as the black-body radiator cannot emit radiation of every chromaticity value. The color temperatures of the commonest artificial light sources range from less than 3000K (warm white) to 4000K (intermediate) and over 5000K (daylight).
ColorRenderingIndex
Integer
The CRI indicates how well a light source renders eight standard colors compared to perfect reference lamp with the same color temperature. The CRI scale ranges from 1 to 100, with 100 representing perfect rendering properties.
