Adecuación y montaje del laboratorio de electricidad en el edificio del Decanato de la Facultad de Mecánica – ESPOCH

Abstract

The objective of this Curricular Integration Work was to adapt, assemble and install the Electricity Laboratory in the Dean's building of the Mechanics Faculty. It began with analyzing the state of the infrastructure and the operability of the elements found in this. It then executed the functional tests on the brand's equipment, "DE LORENZO." The existence of elements was verified through the asset control inventory; later, using the ISO 14224 standard and the coding standardization of the Faculty of Mechanics, each one of them was coded. The operating status was determined by thermographic analysis according to the severity criteria of the NETA MTS standard, t-Student tests, and visual inspections, among others; In the electrical adaptations, the researchers used CPE INEN 19, NEC-SB-IE and NTE INEN 3098 standards for safety signage symbols and colors were implemented according to the NTE INEN-ISO 3864-1 standard and the UNE-EN ISO standard 7010. The maintenance manuals for the elements were created based on the UNE-EN 13460 standard. The plant distribution, assembly of the electrical system, and test equipment were carried out. The signage was placed 2.1 meters from the ground, with the maintenance corresponding to each element. It is concluded that most of the laboratory elements are in an "acceptable" operating state and correctly codified. In addition, the test equipment is in optimal condition to carry out laboratory practices. It is recommended to train students regarding safety and electrical risk, in the same way, encourage and practice order and cleanliness activities to have a pleasant environment when carrying out the practices.
