computed. However, we do not specify the use of No.

10 AWG wire because the code limits the use of

8.0mm2or No.8 AWG, conductor as minimum size for Service Entrance.
3. The National Electrical Code on Service Entrance provides that:
" Service entrance shall have sufficient ampacity to carry the building load. They shall have the
adequate mechanical strength and shall not be smaller than 8.0 mm2or 3.2 mm diameter except for
installation to supply limited load of a single branch circuit such as small poly-phase power, controlled
water heaters and the like and they shall not be smaller than 3.5 mm2or 2.0 mm diameter copper or
equivalent.
THE MAIN DISCONNECTING MEANS OR SAFETY SWITCH
Find the total computed load
Circuit - 1 ........ 3.48 amperes
Circuit - 2 ........9.39 amperes
Circuit - 3 ........15.65 amperes
TOTAL........28.52 amperes
2. Use 2 pieces 30 amperes fuse parallel connection 60 amperes 2 pole single throw (PST) 250 volts safety

3. Provide 2-double branch circuit cut out with two 15 and 2-20 amperes fuse respectively.

MULTI-ground system and line to line service

The protection of branch circuit is tapped to the hot line of live wire. The grounded line
being in neutral zero voltage is not protected with fuse. this is one advantage of the
MULTI-GROUND SYSTEM being adopted by the electric cooperative implemented by
the RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAM of the government. The branch circuit and
cutout should be doubled because the engaged voltage in the line is only 230 V while the other is zero

being grounded ( see figure)

Other electric service system on the other hand, are classified as LINE TO LINE SERVICE wherein the
engaged voltage is 115/230 volts which requires FUSE PROTECTIO FOR BOTH LINES.
NOTE:
The quantity of materials is subject to change depending upon the area and the choice of the designing
engineers. For open onstallation, conduit pipe can be changed to split knobs or PDX wires.
