A sample post
This is the kind of post that lands in your plan, here for Instagram.
Myth: The electrical contractor can design the system as they build. Fact: Design and execution are different jobs. Load calculation, protection coordination and approvals need to be settled before materials are ordered. Design first. Build second.
Photo brief. Split card. Red MYTH over a messy site drawing, green FACT over a clean single-line diagram. No real client drawings.
Myths your customers believe
Posts that correct a myth earn trust. Your plan includes them, with your business name attached.
Myth. The electrical contractor can design the system as they build
Fact. Design and execution are different jobs. Load calculation, protection coordination and approvals need to be settled before materials are ordered.
Myth. Bigger transformers and DG sets are always safer
Fact. Oversizing costs more to buy, runs less efficiently at low load, and can raise demand charges. Sizing should follow calculated and realistic future load.
Myth. The connected load is the load you need to plan for
Fact. Not everything runs at once. Diversity and demand factors matter, and applying them carefully avoids both undersizing and paying for capacity you never use.
Myth. Approvals can be handled after installation
Fact. Utility and statutory requirements shape the design itself. Leaving them late often means rework or delay to the power connection.
How to start electrical planning for a new building
- List expected equipment and critical loads early
- Reserve space for substation, meters, shafts and cable routes
- Check utility and statutory requirements before design freezes
Questions your customers ask
When should an electrical consultant be involved?
At concept or early design stage, before architectural and structural decisions fix the space for substations, shafts and cable routes.
What does an electrical design package include?
Typically load calculations, single-line diagrams, cable and equipment sizing, layouts, protection philosophy, specifications and support for approvals. The exact scope is agreed in writing.
Do you handle approvals?
We prepare the technical documents and support the submission. Approval timelines and decisions belong to the authority, and requirements vary by location.
How do you size transformers and DG sets?
From calculated load, realistic diversity, critical loads and planned expansion. The aim is enough capacity without paying for a large unused margin.
Can you review a contractor's design?
Yes. A design review checks load assumptions, protection, cable sizing, safety and coordination with other services before execution.
What is a single-line diagram?
A simplified drawing of how power flows through the system, showing incomers, transformers, protection and major distribution. It is essential for operation and fault finding.
Can electrical design reduce energy costs?
It can help through correct equipment sizing, power factor planning, efficient lighting and metering. Actual savings depend on how the site operates.
What should we receive at handover?
Updated as-built drawings, test records, equipment data, protection settings and operation and maintenance information in a form the site team can use.
