Diseño de red eléctrica industrial de baja tensión para la empresa soluciones metalmecánicas e Ingeniería del Caribe S.A.S.

Abstract

The company SOLUCIONES METALMECÁNICAS E INGENIERIA DEL CARIBE S.A.S. Has a workshop in the city of Cartagena, which has different machines such as lathes, milling machines, brushes, welding equipment, among others; However, they have presented delays in their work, due to the constant electrical failures that usually take out of service the entire electrical network that feeds the workshop, it should be noted that said network does not meet the minimum requirements of Colombian regulations, since joints are evident of cables of different gauges for the same load, poorly sized overcurrent protections, overloads in various distribution branches, outlets without the minimum protection and switches anchored directly to the wall.

This project aims to provide a solution to the company, designing an electrical network that complies with Colombian regulations, which will mainly include RETIE (Technical Regulation of Electrical Installations) and NTC 2050 (Colombian Technical Standard), in addition to including the network distribution diagrams and single line loads.

To provide greater design reliability, simulations of operation and short-circuit failures will be carried out in industrial software, to demonstrate reliability in terms of safety and operation.
