    The document discusses various electrical formulas to calculate parameters like amps, power, voltage drop etc. based on other known values like voltage, current, resistance etc.

    Some of the formulas discussed are formulas to calculate amps from kW or kVA, formulas to calculate kW, kVA from amps, formulas to calculate horsepower from amps and vice versa. Formulas are discussed for single phase, three phase and DC systems.

    Lamp spacing is calculated based on the mounting height and desired illumination level. The formula uses mounting height, illumination level, average luminous flux from each lamp, utilization factor and maintenance factor. Acceptable uniformity is between minimum 70% and maximum 100% of desired illumination level.
