Schedule of Loads
Schedule of loads are just a summary of data to easily identify and facilitate the necessary
values and equipment rating to be used in any electrical installation. Any data given in the
schedule of loads were backed by calculation based on a well settled electrical principles
and code requirements.
Computations
Circuit 1:
I = 1,200 VA/ 220 V = 5.45 Ampere
Wire = 5.45 / 80% = 6.82 Amperes , Use 2.0 sqmm TW wire or #14 AWG [1]
Circuit Breaker = Use 15 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1/2" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 2:
I = 900 VA/ 220 V = 4.09 Ampere
Wire = 4.09/ 80%= 5.11 Amperes , Use 2.0 sqmm TW wire or #14 AWG
Circuit Breaker = Use 15 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1/2" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 3:
I = 600 VA/ 220 V = 2.72 Ampere
Wire = 2.72/ 80%= 3.41 Amperes , Use 2.0 sqmm TW wire or #14 AWG
Circuit Breaker = 6.82 Amperes, Use 15 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1/2" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 4:
I = 1,800 VA/ 220 V = 8.18 Ampere
Wire = 8.18/ 80%= 10.23 Amperes , Use 3.5 sqmm TW wire or #12 AWG
Circuit Breaker = Use 20 A CB
Conduit = Use 3/4" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 5:
I = 2,160 VA/ 220 V = 9.82 Ampere
Wire = 9.82/ 80% = 12.27 Amperes , Use 3.5 sqmm TW wire or #12 AWG
Circuit Breaker = Use 20 A CB
Conduit = Use 3/4" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 6-8:
VA = [ 2.5 HP x ( 746 Watts/ HP ) ] / 0.8 pf (assume 0.8 pf)
VA = 2331 VA
Note: since the breaker is 30 Ampere, we could increase the cable size to 5.5 sqmm
(rated 30 amps by NEC ) to maintain the coordination of cable and the circuit breaker.
Circuit 9:
VA = 5000 W / 1.0 pf (heating load is a resistive load w/ 100% pf)
VA = 5,000 VA
I = 5, 000 VA/ 220 V = 22.72 Ampere
Wire = 22.71 / 80% = 28.41 Amperes , Use 8.0 sqmm TW wire or #8 AWG
Circuit Breaker = Use 40 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1.0" diameter PVC conduit.
Main Feeder
By inspection:
Main Feeder Current = (45.29 x 100% ) + (40.72 x 125%) = 96.19 Amperes [4]
note: 10 kAIC is just an assumed value, we need short circuit calculation to determine the right
specs of the OCPD to be used in this example
Rules Applied:
1. NEC 210-9a - Maximum to be served by branch circuit must not be less than 80% of the
ampacity of the condutor
2. NEC 430 -22 = The size of the wire supplying motorized load shall not be less than 125%
of the rated full load current of the motor.
3. NEC 430- 52 = The size of the branch circuit protection for motor loads shall not be
greater than 250% of motor full load current for CB and 300% for non-time delay fuses on
full voltage starting.
