APPENDIX D Appendix D. Wiring D Introduction (A)General. This part contains wiring design examples to illustrate the application of some of the provisions of this Code. The examples illustrated herein, although not exhaustive, cover several scenarios which are typically encountered by the practitioners, The examples illustrate how to determine the size of branch circuits, feeders and services. Typical Single- Family and Multi-Family Dwelling units of different demand load are presented consid: and three-phase service systems. Single and multiple ‘motor examples illustrate how to size the branch eircuit ing the single phase conductors and overload protection. Several overload protection schemes are presented. Examples on system with fire pump to illustrate its special requirement and a system with a voltage regulator are also included. (B) Branch Circuits Required. For small single-family dwelling unit having a floor area of not more than 50 square meters with load not exceeding 3 680 volt- amperes, the code permits the use of only one circuit as illustrated in Example D1 [See Section 2.10.1.11(D)]. For the minimum number of branch circuit required, ction 2.10.1.11(A) to (C). see S (C) Feeder or Service Load Calculation, Feeder or service load calculation in the examples follows the method provided in Part 2.20.2. The optional calculations method of Part 2.20.3 is also illustrated [See Example D4] (D) Selection of Conductors. For conductor types and sizes, refer to 0 through 2000 volt (V) ampacity tables of Article 3.10 and Section 3.10.2.6 that pertains to such tables. For the minimum size of service entrance conductor, see Section 2.30.4.3. Conductor ampacities given in these examples for copper wires are based on ambient air temperature of 300C except specified otherwise. In the examples given, conductors are selected such that their ampacities are at least 125% of the continueus current through the conductor. Voltage drops, however, have not been considered in the selection, (E) Selection of Overcurrent Protection. Standard ratings for {uses and inverse time circuit breakers are listed in Section 2.40.1.6. Maximum rating or setting of motor branch circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protective devices are given in Table 4.30.14.6. (F) Voltage. For uniform application of the provisions of Articles 2.10, 2.15 and 2.20, a nominal voltage 230 volts is used in computing the ampere load on the conductor, n Examples Grounding. In conformance to the provisions of the code on ounding, illustrations herein show partial grounding requirements. Feeder and circuit wires indicated in the examples are for phase wires only For sizes of grounding conductors and electrodes, see Tables 2,50.3.17 and 2.50.6.13 respectively. (H) Allowance for Future Exp: Itis advisable to use larger service conductors and the corresponding overcurrent protective devices to accommodate future loads depending on the anticipated expansion.
