Objectives
The goal is to give the theoretical and practical foundations of lighting and industrial installations that support electricity projects in the area of industrial electrical installations.
The students should reach the required competencies for this purpose, namely having knowledge of: equipments, luminotechnical calculations, and management of an illumination installation, taking into account the energy efficiency and the fundamental basis for an electricity project of an industrial installation.
Results will be evaluated through a theoretical test, problem resolution in practical classes, and an electrical project of an industrial installation. This project should present the technical drawings and a report that includes the justification of the proposed solutions, the necessary calculations, and the main characteristics of the adopted materials.
