The paper outlines the fundamental procedures involved in electrical system planning and design, focusing on applicable codes and standards, the development and application of a One Line Diagram, and considerations around power availability, load requirements, and power factor. Additionally, it discusses factors influencing the selection of power supply arrangements, voltage levels, system grounding practices, and the various types of distribution and utilization equipment, such as switchgear, transformers, motor control, and cable systems. Short circuit calculation methods and system protection mechanisms are also presented, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety codes relevant to both U.S. and Canadian standards. The presentation aims to provide non-technical guidelines for the basic electrical planning and design of a mineral processing plant, culminating in the generation of a typical Plant One Line Diagram and the criteria for selecting specific system components. References to more technical sources are provided for further information and understanding.
