Roles & Responsibilities
1. Must play a vital role in ensuring that these systems function correctly and integrate seamlessly with the building's electrical infrastructure.
2. Electrical engineers ensure that fire protection systems have access to emergency power in case of a mains power failure. This may involve designing backup power systems such as generators or battery backup systems to ensure uninterrupted operation during emergencies.
3. Proficiency in software like AutoCAD Electrical, PDMS Revit, or similar.
4. Knowledge of electrical principles, codes, and standards.
5. Expertise in circuit design and power distribution.
6. Electrical engineers design and install fire alarm systems, including smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, and notification appliances such as horns, strobes, and speakers. They ensure that these systems meet code requirements and provide timely and effective notification of fire events to building occupants and emergency responders.
7. In larger buildings or complexes, fire protection systems may require communication capabilities to coordinate responses and relay information to emergency services.
8. Electrical engineers design and implement communication systems such as voice evacuation systems or interfaces with building management systems.
9. Electrical engineers may be involved in testing and maintenance activities for fire protection systems, ensuring that electrical components are functioning correctly and that backup power systems are operational.
10. Electrical engineers ensure that all electrical aspects of the fire protection system comply with relevant codes, standards, and regulations, such as NFPA, NEC (National Electrical Code), and local building codes.
11. Electrical engineers may provide training to building staff on the operation and maintenance of electrical aspects of the fire protection system. They also ensure that comprehensive documentation, including wiring diagrams, equipment specifications, and maintenance procedures, is available for reference.
