PROBLEM 1
An accounting office 50 feet by 70 feet is to be illuminated. The ceiling is 10ft high and the
lighting fixtures are to be surface mounted. The walls and ceiling are painted white.
1. Specify the type and number of fixtures you will use.
SINGLE FIXTURE
50ft= 15.24m
70ft= 21.336m
10ft= 3.048m
hc =.08m ; where: hc= height of ceiling to floor
(Assume 1m height of working plane to floor)
So, hcw = 3.048m- 1m= 2.048m; where hcw = height of ceiling to working plane
Cross Sectional Area= 15.24m X 21.336m = 325.16m²
l xb
ROOM INDEX (R.I.) = where l= length, b= width
hcw(l x b)
15.24 x 21.336
=
2.048(15.24+21.336)
= 4.34
Lumen Required= 325.16m² x 500 = 162,580 lm
For R.I = 4.34 and reflectance code = 752, Utilization Factor = 0.83
For classroom/office maintenance factor= 0.8 (standard)
ExA
N=
F xn xU . F. x M .F .
162,580
=
4100 x 1 x 0.83 x 0.8
N= 59.7 ≈ 60
No. of fixtures to use = 60 fixtures
Where:
N= number of luminaire required for a given area
E= Average luminance over the horizontal working plane
n= Number of lamps in each luminaire
F= lighting design lumens per lamp, i.e. initial bare lamp luminous flux
UF= utilization factor for the horizontal working plane
M.F.= Maintenance Factor
Use PHILIPS CORELINE LED Batten of 38W

Lumen/Watt: 4100 lm/ 38W
2. Specify the arrangement of the fixtures.

No. of fixture required in each rows

N= total fixture/ number of rows
N= 60/10 = 6 fixtures in each row
3. Give size of the feeder conductor to the area.

Total Watt= No. of fixture use x watt/fixture
= 60 x 38 = 2280 watts
Compute for the lighting load:

2280 watts
=9.91 A
230 volts
Refer to Table 3.10.2.6(B)(16) PEC 1 2017. For the 9.91 A loa,

use 2.0mm² TW copper wire
4. Number of circuit in the panel board serving the area.

5. Total power required.
PROBLEM 2
A first class 10 door apartment has a floor area of 80 square meter for the ground floor
and 70 sq. meter for the second floor. The following load should be provided by an outlet.
1 -8 kVA Electric Range
2-2.5 KVa Water Heater
2-6A Air Condition Unit
2- CO’s at 1500VA
Provide the complete power distribution for the said apartment
A. Design Analysis for
1. Computed Load using Floor Area Method
GENERAL LIGHTING LOAD

Total Floor Area = 150 square meter
Table 2.20.2.3 General Lighting Loads by Occupancy
(Note: Actual computed lighting load shall be used if the total volt-ampere exceeds
that obtain from Table 2.20.2.3 a per square meter method)
For 10 door apartment load the requirement is 16 VA per square meter.
For total floor area of 200 square meter
150 square meter × 16 VA/sq. m = 2400VA
2400VA is the minimum lighting load for 150 mm²
Lighting Load = Total number of Lighting Outlet ×100VA/Lighting Outlet
Lighting Load = 20 × 100VA = 2000 VA (Acceptable)

Refer to Table 2.20.3.3 Lighting Load Demand Factor
For 10 door apartment under “All Others”
Demand Factor = 100%
2. Computed Load for Sub-Feeder
Circuit 1: Lighting Load

The PEC (Philippine Electrical Code) Part 1 provides that: “100 volt-amperes shall be
the maximum load for each lighting outlet”
Adopting the 100 volt-amperes per lighting outlet:
For 12 lighting outlets at 100 volt-amperes per out let
Load = 12 outlets X 100 VA = 1200 VA
Load Current
IL = (Load in VA)/ Supply Voltage
= 𝟏2𝟎𝟎 𝐕𝐀/𝟐𝟑𝟎= 5.21 𝐀
Circuit 2: Lighting Load

The PEC (Philippine Electrical Code) Part 1 provides that: “100 volt-amperes shall be
the maximum load for each lighting outlet”
Adopting the 100 volt-amperes per lighting outlet:
For 8 lighting outlets at 100 volt-amperes per out let
Load Current
=𝟖𝟎𝟎 𝐕𝐀/𝟐𝟑𝟎= 3.48 𝐀
Circuit 3: Receptacle Outlet

Article 2.20.2.5 Other Loads – All Occupancies. (I) Receptacle Outlet. ”… receptacle
outlets shall be calculated at not less than 200 volt-amperes for each single or for each
multiple receptacle in one yoke …”
For 12 outlets at 200 volts – amperes per outlet
Load Current
=2400 𝐕𝐀/𝟐𝟑𝟎= 10.4349 𝐀
Circuit 4: Receptacle Outlet

Article 2.20.2.5 Other Loads – All Occupancies. (I) Receptacle Outlet. ”… receptacle
outlets shall be calculated at not less than 200 volt-amperes for each single or for each
multiple receptacle in one yoke …”
For 8 outlets at 200 volts – amperes per outlet
Load Current
=160𝟎 𝐕𝐀/𝟐𝟑𝟎= 𝟔.9562 𝐀
Circuit 4: 8 kVA Electric Range
For 8 kVA Electric Range
IL = 34.78
Circuit 5: 2 x 2.5 kVA Water Heater
For 2 x 2.5 kVA Water Heater
IL = 10.87 x 2 = 21.74 A
Circuit 9: 6A ACU
For 6A ACU
IL = 6 x 2 = 12 A
3. Main Service Feeder
1 x 8000VA 1st Floor = 80 m² = 150 sq. meter

2 x 2500VA 2nd Floor = 70 m²
1 x 1500VA
2 x 1580VA 150 m² (16VA/ sq. meter) = 2400 VA
1 x 1500VA
18760VA
18760VA + 2400VA = 21160VA I = 21160VA/230V = 92 A
4. Main Service Entrance Conductor
Refer to Table of Wire PEC I, 2017, [Table 3.10.2.6.(B)(16)]

USE 30 mm² THWN wire with 100A Ampacity
B. Main Feeder Conductor, Conduit, and Breaker
Main Feeder Conductor
I = 21160VA/230V = 92 A

Use: 30 mm² TW wire with 100A Ampacity
Breaker
Use: 1-90 Ampere Trip and 1-100 Ampere Frame Size
Conduit Size
Use: 35mm mm Ø PVC
C. Branch Circuit wire, Conduit, and Breaker for each load
Circuit 1. Lighting Outlet
Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:
System Voltage, 230V, 1-phase, 2W
Demand Factor is assuming to be 100% since the load is one unit only.
Ambient Temperature: less than 40°Ç
kW = kVA since this is a pure resistive load.
Calculation of Full Load Current

IFL = Total Connected Load in VA/230V (100% D.F.)
= 1200/230 x (100% D.F)
= 5.21A
Setting of Branch Circuit Wire

Use 2 # 2.0 mm² TW with 15A Ampacity (5.21A/15A)
Check for PEC Rule (Maximum full load current on the branch circuit shall not exceed 80%)
Hence
15 x 0.8 = 12A > 5.21A
Circuit 2. Lighting Outlet

Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 800/230 x (100% D.F)
= 3.48A

Hence
15 x 0.8 = 12A > 3.48A
Circuit 3. Receptacles Outlet

Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 2400/230 x (100% D.F)
= 10.4349A

Hence
15 x 0.8 = 12A > 10.4349A
Circuit 4. Receptacles Outlet

Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 1600/230 x (100% D.F)
= 6.9562A

Hence
15 x 0.8 = 12A > 6.9562A
Circuit 5: 8 kVA Electric Range

Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 8000/230 x (100% D.F)
= 34.78A

Hence
40 x 0.8 =32A <34.78A
Circuit 6: 2 x 2.5 kVA Water Heater

Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 5000/230 x (100% D.F)
= 21.74
Use 2 # 3.5 mm² TW with 30A Ampacity (21.74/30A)
Hence
30 x 0.8 = 24A > 21.74A
Circuit 7: 6A ACU
Design Calculation:
Design Assumption:

= 1380/230 x (100% D.F)
= 12A

Use 2 # 3.5 mm² TW with 20A Ampacity (12A/20A)
Hence
20 x 0.8 = 16A > 12A
