ELECTRICAL DESIGN & ANALYSES
ALUMINUM v. COPPER STUDY
HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS
April 18th, 2007 Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E
Al v. Cu STUDY
QUERY: Would Aluminum Feeders be more cost efficient than the existing Copper Feeders?
1. Determine lengths of feeders
2. Determine number of conductors
3. Cost analysis for each type of material

Al v. Cu STUDY
COST ANAYLSIS
April 18th, 2007 Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E
Al v. Cu STUDY
Lower Initial Cost
Lighter
(Can span greater distances,
Costs less to transport)
Larger in X-sectional Area
(Will require larger conduit)
Higher Coefficient of Expansion
(Can create hazardous situations)
Oxidizes
Less Durable
Weaker in Tension & Shear
Less Workable
CONSPROS
April 18th, 2007 Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E
CONCLUSION:
Copper has a less expensive life cycle when primary price, installing, maintenance, repairs and replacement are all taken into consideration.

HIGH EFFICIENCY TRANSFORMER ANALYSIS
April 18th, 2007 Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E
CONCLUSION:
Not only would High Efficiency Transformers save over $22,000 a year, but the payback period would be less than six months. They would definitely be a benefit.

CM BREADTH WORK
ISSUES THAT COULD HAMPER or HELP PROJECT DELIVERY:
Coordination of Drawings
Documentation of Information
Back-up Plans
April 18th, 2007 Senior Thesis Presentation Sara J Schonour – L/E
CM BREADTH WORK
COORDINATION OF DRAWINGS:
Problem: Ceiling plenum design overlap not caught till late stages of design development
Solution: Regular team meetings with Pin-Ups
Open information sharing forums / sessions
Update progress in Real Time

CM BREADTH WORK
DOCUMENTATION OF INFORMATION:
Problem: Disputes occur over “he said / she said” issues, the ball is dropped along the chain of execution
Solution: Record meetings to avoid dispute Archive electronic communication regularly w/
date / time stamp for reference
Follow-up to avoid miscommunication

BACK-UP PLANS:
Problem: Budget is no longer sufficient to implement lighting / electrical design
Solution: Value Engineering
Three Brand Spec
