A.

SOLVING LIGHTING UNIT

1 LIGHTING UNIT= 100WATTS

-SAMPLE/ 1 COMPACT FLOURESCENT LIGHT IS EQUIVALENT TO 100

WATTS
FORMULA:
(100WATTS) (Number of Units or No. Of Lighting Units Applied) =
Total WATTAGE

Sample:

12 units= CFL bulbs

100WATTS x 12 UNITS =1200 WATTS, the total WATTAGE is 1200

SOLVING FOR TOTAL AMPERES OF LIGHTING UNITS
USING OHMS LAW FORMULA:
TOTAL AMPERES = WATTS / VOLTAGE or
I (Current) = p (Power) / V (Voltage)
NOTE: In the Philippines the standard voltage usage is 220 VOLTS

Sample:
12 units CFL = 1200 Watts

1200 watts /220 volts = 5.54 Amperes

B.

SOLVING LIGHTING UNIT

1 CONVENIENCE OUTLET = 360 WATTS

FORMULA:
(360 WATTS) (Number of Convenience Outlet) =
Total WATTAGE of C.O.

Sample:

8 units= Convenience Outlet

360 WATTS x 8 UNITS =2,880 WATTS, the total WATTAGE is 2,880

SOLVING FOR TOTAL AMPERES OF LIGHTING UNITS
USING OHMS LAW FORMULA:
TOTAL AMPERES = WATTS / VOLTAGE or
I (Current) = p (Power) / V (Voltage)
NOTE: In the Philippines the standard voltage usage is 220 VOLTS

Sample:
8 units CFL = 2,880 Watts

2,880 watts /220 volts = 13.09 Amperes

Therefore:

The total Amperage for Lighting Units is 5.54 Amperes

and the total Amperage for Convenience Outlets is 13.09 Amperes
