Aveva Marine – Electrical Administration Electrical Administration in AVEVA Marine involves configuring and maintaining the environment for the design, routing, and documentation of electrical systems.
🔧 Key Responsibilities of an Electrical Administrator
🧩 1. Project Environment Setup
- Define electrical zones, systems, and installation areas.
- Create and manage model hierarchies for electrical components.
- Set up folder structures for cables, trays, devices, and drawings.
⚙️ 2. Catalog and Specification Management
- Maintain the electrical equipment catalog:
- Panels, switchboards, lights, junction boxes, motors, etc.
- Define cable tray types (ladder, perforated, wire mesh) and sizes.
- Assign cable types (power, signal, control, fiber, coaxial) with attributes like voltage, shielding, and fire rating.
🔌 3. Cable and Tray Routing Rules
- Configure rules for:
- Minimum bend radii
- Clearance and separation (e.g., power vs. signal)
- Fill factor limits in trays
- Apply company or class-specific standards to tray design and cable laying.
🔄 4. Interface with Outfitting and Structure
- Coordinate routing through penetrations, supports, and structures.
- Ensure accurate clash detection between:
- Cables and HVAC
- Cable trays and pipes
- Equipment and structural steel
📊 5. Load & Connection Management
- Support load calculations (in conjunction with electrical analysis tools).
- Maintain logical-to-physical connectivity:
- From source panels to consumers
- Including cable lengths, sizes, and terminal blocks
🧾 6. Reporting and Deliverables
- Enable generation of:
- Cable schedules
- Tray BOMs
- Connection lists
- Electrical panel load reports
📄 7. Drawing Oversight
- Assist in producing:
- Cable tray layout drawings
- Installation and routing plans
- Single-line and multi-line diagrams (via integration)
- Maintain drawing styles and title blocks for electrical outputs.
🔐 8. Data Integrity and Quality Control
- Validate correct tagging of devices, trays, and cables.
- Ensure alignment between design specs and catalog entries.
- Regularly audit model and schedule data for missing or incorrect connections.
