How to reduce the size of drawings/delete double lines
I only see 401 objects, but still.... OVERKILL reduced that only a little, to 374, though that could vary with settings. That would be because things don't actually overlay each other much, but a lot are unnecessarily multiple objects close together. I don't know of a way to reduce that except manually -- if a routine could be made to recognize proximities like that, how could it know which one of multiple close objects to keep? Not much help, perhaps.

You could take the time and clean up the block (like manually erasing these pointless not-quite-overlapping identical elements)
Then use JOIN command everything, then use HATCH command with boundary (and a fudge factor) or BOUNDARY command (all on a unique layer) to basically rebuilt the blocks from scratch, then lock that layer before you ERASE all the original content on layer zero. You should end up with far fewer elements.
Repeat for every block you grab from that website.
But is that really worth it for your other program? Would a dumbed down 'representation' of the object not be sufficient enough?
Q: if you have "electrical' drafting needs, do you not find the free-with-subscription variant AutoCADMEP (or even AutoCADELECTRICAL if this is an infrastructure project) useful over that older 3rd party software?
Happy cleanup: you have a lot of work ahead of you.
