Computation of Loads

The document calculates the load and sizing requirements for 8 branch circuits in a building. It first determines the load and wire sizing for general lighting and convenience outlets. It then calculates the load and wire sizing for other circuits including air conditioning, water pumps, water heaters and a cooking range. Finally, it determines the total load, ampacity required for the service entrance, wire sizing and circuit breaker rating.

APPLICATION OF DEMAND FACTOR

BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 1 - 1200 WATTS


BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 2 - 1000 WATTS
BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 3 - 2880 WATTS
BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 4 - 2880 WATTS
SUBTOTAL = 7960 WATTS

FIRST 3000VA @ 100% D.F = (3000VA) (100%) = 3000VA


REMAINING VA @ 35% DF = 7960VA - 3000VA = 4960VA
= (4960VA) (35%) = 1736 VA
TOTAL = 3000VA + 1736VA
= 4736VA

B. OTHER LOADS

TOTAL NET COMPUTED LOAD

GENERAL LIGHTING AND CONVENIENCE LOAD - 4736VA


BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 5 - 2300VA
BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 6 - 1840VA
BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 7 - 2760VA
BRANCH CIRCUIT NO. 8 - 9600VA
TOTAL NET COMPUTED LOAD = 21236VA
AMPACITY OF SERVICE ENTRANCE

TOTAL CURRENT = 21236VA


230V

= 92.33A

AMPACITY OF SE = (125%) (HRM) + (TNCL - HRM)


230V

= 1.25 (2300VA) + 21236VA - 2300VA


230V

= 2875VA + 18936VA
230V

= 21811VA
230V

= 94.83A

SIZE OF WIRE: USE 2-30MM^2 and 1-22mm^2 THHW @90 ℃ CU.


STRANDED WIRE.
SIZE OF CONDUIT: USE 1-25MM DIAMETER IMC

CB RATING = (250%)(HRM) + (TNCL - HRM)


230V

= (2.5)(2300VA) + 21236VA - 2300VA


230V

= 5750VA + 18936VA
230V

= 24686VA
230V

= 107.33A

SIZE OF CIRCUIT BREAKER: USE 1-140AT, 200AF, 50KAIC, 2P , P.I @
