Further, the course also aims at providing training in creativity and cooperation in a project team when dealing with problems related to applied electric installations.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

- plan a large electrical distribution system
- perform calculations on electrical installations
- elaborate electrical installation circuit drawings
- describe modern principles for electrical installations and equipment used
- apply effective laws and statutes within related to electrical installations and work environment
- work in team and together solve different practical problems related to electrical installations
- reflect over technical choices from ethical perspective and sustainable aspects.
- present obtained project results in a written report where the ethical and sustainable perspectives of the project are included as well as present and defend the results at an oral presentation

Content

 Electrical installations:
- electrical installation equipment, electrical installation calculations (loadability, voltage drop, tripping conditions), electrical installation drawings, regulations for electrical installations
Statutes for electrical installations:
- study of laws and statutes: law of work environment and its applications, laws for electrical installations within the EU, the Swedish National Electricity Safety Boards Regulations regarding design and erection of electrical installations and general advice when applying these regulations
