In
this process the proper sizing of conductors, overload protection and conduits are
determined.
While there are different methods doing an electrical design but there is only one thing that
cannot be altered --- code requirements must be followed.
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 plugin type 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 plugin type 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 plugin type 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 = 20.45 Amperes, Use 20 A plugin type Circuit Breaker
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 plugin type Circuit Breaker
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
Circuit 9:
VA = 5000 W / 1.0 pf (heating load is a resistive load w/ 100% pf)
VA = 5,000 VA
Main Feeder
By inspection:
Main Feeder Current = (45.29 x 100% ) + (40.72 x 125%) = 96.19 Amperes [4]
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.
