CHAPTER 2 CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND MATERIALS: ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS The responsibility for the design of electrical and mechanical systems rests with the engineering officer. However, as an EA assisting the engineering officer, you should be familiar with the methods, materials, and terminology used in the design and construction of these systems.  This  chapter  provides  that  familiarity. This  chapter  expands  on  the  EA3  TRAMAN  discus- sion  of  exterior  electrical  distribution  systems.  You  should find it helpful to review chapter 9 of that TRAMAN before beginning the study of the following text. This chapter also discusses water distribution and sewage collection systems that are exterior to buildings. You will find that some of the materials and terminology used in the design and construction of these systems are the  same  as  those  used  for  building  plumbing. Therefore, you also should find it helpful to review chapter 8 of Engineering Aid 3. ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM Overall, an electrical power system includes the electrical lines, or circuits, and all of the associated equipment  that  are  necessary  to  supply  power  from  a generation point to the users of the supplied power. Generally, the power system is considered to consist of two parts: the transmission system and the distribution system. Figure 2-1 shows a typical electrical power Figure  2-1.—Typical  electrical  power  system. 2-1
