TYPICAL TWO STOREY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING (LOAD SCHEDULE)

General Lighting and Convenience Receptacle Load:

61.90 sq.m x 24 volts-amperes per sq = 1,485.60 volt-amperes

Provide two (2) 20-amperes lighting outlets

NOTE: Actual computed lighting load shall be used if the total volt-ampere exceeds that
obtained from the 24 volt ampere per square meter method.

Small Appliance Load:

Provide two (2) 20 amperes for convenience outlets = 3,000 volt-amperes

NOTE: Actual computed lighting load shall be used if the total volt-ampere exceeds that
obtained from the 24 volt ampere per square meter.

Sub-Total = 4,485.60 VOLT AMPERES

Application of Demand Factor:

First 3,000 v.a @ 100% Demand Factor = 3,000 volt-amperes

Remainder @ 35% D.F. (1,485.60 x 0.35) = 519.96 volt-amperes

SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT CALCULATIONS:

Calculating short circuit current during system upgrade and design are life-safety in order to
protect personnel and equipment. It is required to check or select the equipment rating. Hand
calculations can be used for small system. Engineering software is a necessity for large system.

From Electrical Plan

Total current = 129.40 amperes

KVA X’former = 31.27 x 230 = 8 kva say 50 kva

USE: #2 – 14.0mm² THHN, 1 – 8.0mm² THHN (G) in 25 mm Dia. RSC

Main Breaker: 60 AT / 100 AF, 2P, 230Volys, 18 KAIC

FAULT CURRENT CALCULATION ANALYSIS:

USING PER UNIT IMPEDANCE METHOD:

GIVEN: 1. AVAILABLE UTILITY SHORT CIRCUIT CAPACITY IS 1000 MVA

2. SELECTED BASE KVA: 50 KVA X’FORMER WITH 15% IMPEDANCE WHERE

LOAD CENTER IS CONNECTED.

COMPUTE FOR WIRE IMPEDANCE:

FROM STANDARD ELECTRICAL HANDBOOK:

TABLE FOR COPPER WIRE AND CABLE ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

NO.8 AWG WIRE (14.0 mm² WIRE)

R = 2.41 OHMS/MILE

XL= 0.628 OHMS/MILE

XC= 0.1419 OHMS/MILE

Z = √R² + (XL-XC) ²

= √2.41² + (0.628 – 0.1419)²

= 2.4585 OHMS/MILE

CONVERSION:

Z=2.4585 OHMS x 1 MILE x 40 METERS

MILE 1600

= 0.0615 OHMS

COMPUTE FOR PER UNIT IMPEDANCE FOR FEEDER puZw

PuZw = IMPEDANCE IN OHMS x KVA BASE

Branch Circuit short – circuit ground fault protective devices

(1) Non- time delay fuse

For Main Circuit Breaker:

Note: (Consider conductor and over current protection for ampere rating)

Use: 1- 60 AT/100 AF, 2P, 230V, 60HZ Modified Case Circuit Breaker

Voltage Drop Calculations:

Voltage drop: √R² + X²

Where:

I = Line Current in Amperes

R = Line AC Resistance; Ohms

X = Line Reactance at 60 HZ; Ohms

From Handbook:

R (1-PH) = 0.02555 Ohm/305M (75°C) 32mm² Cable in steel conduit

= 1.196 Ohm/305M (75°C) 30mm² Cable in steel conduit

X (1-PH) = 0.0314 Ohm/305M (75°C) 32mm² Cable in steel conduit

= 0.04414 Ohm/305M (75°C) 30mm² Cable in steel conduit

Based on IEEE STD 241-1990

Voltage Drop + 0.48% based on IEEE Std. (REMARKS PASSED)

The Philippine Electrical Code have specified the allowable voltage drop at the maximum load current, 5% for
feeders and 3% for branch circuits
