Engineering Hub: System Design, Drawings & BOQ
Enter the duty, or describe any requirement and attach the drawing. AutoCAD, PDF, a spreadsheet or a photograph is accepted. The desk sizes what it can from NBC 2016 Part 4, IS 15105, IS 3844, IS 13039, TAC, NFPA 13, NFPA 20, IS 732, IS 3043, IS 2189, ISHRAE and ASHRAE 62.1, draws the P&ID or single-line diagram, the scaled plan, both elevations, section A-A and the isometric, and writes the bill. A PEB shed takes length, width, eave, bay, slope, basic wind speed, crane and cladding, and draws the framing plan, the anchor bolt plan, both elevations, section A-A and a rotatable 3D model. Fire suppression and fire detection sit under Fire protection, not as a separate project type. A mark you add on the sheet is saved with the download. A licensed engineer still stamps the issue.
Choose project type
Switchyard is selected. The subcategories for this type are under this list. The drawing and the bill further down are the existing type page. A catalogue price is used when it matches. Otherwise a published Indian rate plus 20% is shown with its source. Erection is 10% of that system's materials, testing 2%, and transport 3%.
Subcategories
Each subcategory has its own design basis, calculation, drawings, bill and quotation.
AutoCAD DWG or DXF, PDF, or any other file.

- 2,000 m² is the area of one floor, 2 floors, 8 m height. Sprinkler heads, sprinkler branch pipe and smoke detectors are that floor counted again on every floor. The sprinkler pump stays on the remote design area.
- Prices on the quotation are ex-GST. A catalogue match is used first. Where the catalogue has no price, a published Indian rate plus 20% is used and the source is on the line. GST at 18% is added on every material line. A price the source already quoted including GST is converted to the ex-GST rate and 18% is shown separately. Erection and installation labour is 10% of that system's material subtotal, testing and commissioning 2%, and transport 3%. GST 18% is added on those allowances.
- Standards cited on this desk: NBC 2016 Part 4, IS 15105, IS 3844, IS 13039, TAC, NFPA 13, NFPA 20, IS 732, IS 3043, IS 2189, ISHRAE and ASHRAE 62.1.
Calculation
| Part | Formula | Working | Result | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yard | Next standard transformer at or above the demand. 33 kV from 1,600 kVA, otherwise 11 kV | 400 kVA demand, 556 A at 415 V. This is the yard, not the fire pump. | 11 kV · 1 × 400 kVA | IEC 62271 / IS 1180 |
| Demand | kVA = (kW × diversity) / power factor | 100 W/m² × 2,000 m² per floor × 2 floors = 400.0 kW. Diversity 0.8, pf 0.8. | 400 kVA | NBC Part 8 / IS 732 |
| Cable | The larger of current-carrying capacity and voltage drop | 556 A over 50 m. Allowable drop 5.0%. 2 aluminium XLPE runs of 185 mm², each carrying 278 A. Reactance 0.08 ohm/km. | 2 × 185 mm² · 1.21% drop | IS 3961 / IS 7098 / IS 732 |
Design basis
| Part | Specification | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| isolator 11 | 11 kV isolators. 1 bay from 400 kVA, at least a line bay and a transformer bay. | IEC 62271 |
| vacuum circuit breaker 11 | 11 kV vacuum breaker, one per bay. | IEC 62271 |
| lightning arrestor 11 | One set per bay on the incomer. | IEC 60099 |
| current transformer 11 | Metering CTs, one set per bay. | IS 16227 |
| distribution transformer 400 | 400 kVA from the demand equation. 1 × 400 kVA is the next standard rating at or above that demand. | IS 1180 |
| Earthing | Pipe or plate earth pits, not an ESE lightning set. Resistance is proved on site. Not added again when the electrical bill already has the pits. Price on request if the catalogue has no pipe-earth pit. | IS 3043 |
| HT cable | Transformer tail. One catalogue length of 100 m, 95 mm², 11 kV. The yard drawing fixes the real run. | IS 7098 Part 2 |
| Cable gland | Glands on the CT, breaker and transformer tails. 25 mm is the published gland. | IS 12943 |
| Cable lug | 70 mm² lugs for those tails. 70 mm² is the termination allowance. | IS 8309 |
| Clamp | Clamps on the earth risers and the cable supports. The published rate is an 80 mm U clamp. | Site practice |
| Sign | Danger boards on the fence. The published board is 11000 V, 200×250 mm, IS 2551, including when this yard is 11 kV. | CEA |
| Testing | Switchyard testing and commissioning. 2% of this system's material subtotal, ex-GST. GST 18% is added on this allowance. | Site practice |
| Erection | Switchyard erection and installation labour. 10% of this system's material subtotal, ex-GST. GST 18% is added on this allowance. | Site practice |
| Transport | Switchyard transport and freight. 3% of this system's material subtotal, ex-GST. GST 18% is added on this allowance. | Site practice |

Statutory
- This is an enquiry BOQ, not a sanctioned design. A licensed consultant stamps the drawing before construction.
- The supply authority clears the yard drawing. A licensed electrical engineer signs it. CEA safety regulations and the state electrical inspector apply to the high-voltage installation.

Grand total —
Supply is the material and the transport. Installation is erection, testing and commissioning, and the other site services. Each section has its own ex-GST subtotal. GST and the grand total follow. A catalogue match is used when the catalogue has a price. Where it does not, the rate is a published Indian marketplace or maker price plus 20%, and the source is on the line. Every material rate is ex-GST, and GST at 18% is added on it. A published price that already included GST is converted to the ex-GST figure and 18% is shown separately. Erection and installation labour is 10% of that system's material subtotal, testing and commissioning 2%, and transport 3%, with GST at 18% on those allowances.
