Electrical Load Analysis Short Circuit Current Computation

This document contains an electrical load analysis for a one-storey residential building located in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental. It includes calculations of the short circuit current, impedances, voltage drop, and load schedule. The short circuit current was calculated to be 1,479.883 amps. The voltage at the service entrance is estimated to be 226.342 volts with a 1.59% voltage drop from the source. The load schedule specifies circuit breaker sizes and wire types for lighting, convenience outlets, and two spare circuits.
