Customized electrical systems: The special case of the Colosseum

The design of the electric system “architecture” purposes to accomplish performances of operation, maintenance and safety. The paper discusses about the criteria in designing special cases that need a structured architecture complying with electrical loads extensively distributed. Historical or innovative architectural buildings outside of the typical and classical configurations require tailored solutions for the electrical systems. The general criterion of designing power distributions is to structure the system in two or more levels from the utility up to the terminal equipment adopting a number equal or lower of voltages. The paper deals with a proposal of customized power systems to be applied to the Colosseum, the most important monument of Roman archeology.
