Load Calculation 10

This document provides design analysis for two motor-compressor branch circuits for a project in Taganito, Surigao del Norte, Philippines. For Circuit 1 serving a 20-ton capacity, it specifies using 30.0mm2 THHN cable based on current and voltage drop calculations. For Circuit 2 serving a 4-ton capacity, it specifies using 5.5mm2 THHN cable. Both circuits specify conduit and ground wire sizes based on Philippine Electrical Code tables. Voltage drops were calculated to be within the allowable 3% limit.
