Answer / p.k.chadhar
in the construction field the roll of electrical engineer is
as follows
1-he has to see the basic design engineering of the project
2-detail engineering with safety factor in the design .
3-basic & detail engineering for provision of earthing pits
of electrical intallation.
4-design for illumination of different area and lux calculation.
5-cable size calculation cable scheduling &its route
selection ,over head or under ground
6-proper protection system for all electrical installation .
7-design for fire alarm &detection system &so many more
which i am not writing here

Answer / sudarshan
The main role of electrical engineers in construction
projects is to supervise the electricians in handling all
the electrical works considering the safety and quality
requirements. The electrical engineer in the construction
site also reads and studies the electrical plans (usually
done by electrical design engineers) and implement it in
the site and sometimes do necessary actions whether to
correct or to improve the design. They coordinate with
other electrical engineers in the implementation of the
electrical system design and also with other engineers of
different fields, such as civil and mechanical engineers,
to make the construction job easier.

Answer / balaji
1.Ensure power supply available.save energy by disconnecting
unwanted loads.
2.ensure all electrical machines should be earthed ,because
in construction mostly related with steel structures,if any
leakage from machine then persons will get shock.
3.if work is going on outside protect machine by covering
that from rain fall.
4. make awareness to all people how to switch off power in
case of any electrical accident.

Answer / dharmendra kumar
Top-performing electrical site engineers have good communication skills in addition to time management and complex problem-solving abilities, according to O*Net OnLine. To perform the necessary tasks, they might use laboratory evaporators, signal generators, semi-conductor process systems, spectrometers and computer-aided design software, such as Finite Element Method.
