1 Zaragoza Sample Lectrical Computation (SAMPLE)

This document provides an analysis of the proposed electrical design for a two-storey residence located in Bulacan, Philippines. It includes calculations of short circuit current, voltage drop, and load for the system. Short circuit current calculations are provided for the main feeder and branch circuits. Load calculation determines the full load current to be 120.7 amps. Voltage drop and short circuit current are within acceptable limits by code standards.

Philippine Electrical Code:


Voltage Drop = (2 x L x R x I)/1000
L=25 feet
R=0.45 ohms/1000 ft in steel conduit
I=23 amperes
Voltage Drop= 2 x 25 x .45 x 23 / 1000 = 0.518 volts

% Voltage Drop= (0.518/240) 100%=0.22%
