ASPECTS OF THE SIZING AND FEASIBILITY OF THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL PROJECT OF A RURAL RESIDENCE

Abstract

The growth of the Brazilian population and the formation of new families lead to an increase in the number of residential properties. This reflects a strong demand for the residential electricity sector. Thus, the research has focused on the construction of a building in 2D design with approximately 231m2 using AutoCAD software. It was also sought to assess and raise constructive, dimensional and use aspects of materials, as well as their effects on electrical operation. Thus, it made use of the Brazilian Standard of Electrical Installations NBR-5410 and its assignments to scale the residential electrotechnical project. In short, the careful attention to detail in the dimensioning of switches and cable sections demonstrated commitment to the safety of the design, ensuring adequate current conductivity and efficient protection against overloads. In conclusion, the study addressed some specific requirements for residential lighting projects. In addition, he emphasized the need for a holistic approach to ensure a comfortable, safe, efficient and cost-effective electric system.
