Electrical Systems courses on LearnU are online programs for electrical engineers, MEP designers, and site professionals working on low-voltage power distribution, protection coordination, and installation design for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. These self-paced programs cover the engineering methodology and documentation standards that LV systems design requires, from load analysis through to issued-for-construction drawings.
Core sub-topics include power demand analysis and load scheduling, single-line diagram design and documentation, cable sizing and protection device selection and coordination, earthing and bonding system design, and power factor correction and harmonic mitigation. Courses carry a verifiable certificate of completion on passing the assessment. For engineers whose scope extends into building automation and controls integration, the BMS & HVAC Control category covers the LV-to-BMS interface in depth.
Who Electrical Systems courses are for
These programs serve engineers and technical professionals responsible for the design, specification, or review of LV electrical systems — not electricians working at installation trade level:
- Electrical design engineers in MEP consultancies or contracting firms producing single-line diagrams, cable schedules, and protection coordination studies for commercial and industrial projects
- MEP engineers whose scope includes electrical systems alongside mechanical and plumbing services on multi-discipline building projects
- Site electrical engineers overseeing installation quality, switchgear commissioning, and system testing and acceptance
- Facilities and asset engineers responsible for understanding installed electrical infrastructure, managing periodic inspection, and planning upgrades or additions
- Electrical engineers transitioning from site or maintenance roles into design and needing to formalise LV system design methodology and documentation standards
Engineers adding renewable energy scope to their practice will find the Solar Systems category covers PV grid-connection protection and LV integration directly.
What you will be able to do after a Electrical Systems course
Completing an Electrical Systems course on LearnU produces specific, project-deliverable capabilities:
- Produce power demand analyses and maximum demand calculations for commercial and industrial facilities to the applicable code method
- Design and document LV single-line diagrams — main distribution boards, sub-distribution, and final circuits — to a standard suitable for permit submission and contractor use
- Size cables and select protection devices using current-carrying capacity tables, voltage drop calculations, and fault-level constraints
- Design earthing and bonding systems — TN-C-S, TN-S, and TT configurations — with touch-voltage verification
- Coordinate protection devices to achieve discrimination and back-up protection across LV distribution networks
- Apply IEC 60364 or equivalent national wiring regulations to design decisions
