Electrical system design basis:

This is fundamental document in any project which describes overall design philosophy of Electrical system and shall be
considered as main guideline for system design from power generation to power distribution till the end.

Key single line diagram:

This document indicates overall power distribution of electrical systems with ratings of main power components. Overall
electrical system operating philosophy is understood from this document. This is basic document required for any project.

Protection and metering single line diagram:

This document specifies detailed control, measuring & protection requirements for each type of feeder including hard wired
interface and soft communication interface with other systems. Scheme drawings are prepared based on this document.

Load list (User list)

Load list is also called as User list. Sometimes it is also referred as Utility list. This document contains all types of loads along
with their rating. The loads are distributed as per key single line diagram in different HV/LV switchboards. Input to this
