How To Design an Electrical Plan:

a. Use Your Floor Plan, as use your guide.

b. Solve the Lighting Design.
1. For Living Area:
a. Get the area from the floor of the living area or sala.
Example:
1. 3m x 4m = 12 sq.m.
2. Start using 20 watts LED Bulb (x 90 lumens, standard commercial available)

20 x 90 = 1800 lumens
3. Solve for the number of bulbs,

12 x 500 (NEC) = 6,000 lumens

6,000/1800 = 3.33 bulbs

Change 20 watts led Bulb to 18 watts

6,000/(18x90) = 3.7 bulbs

Change 18 watts to 13 watts

6,000/(13x90) = 5.12 bulbs say 5 bulbs

Available LED Bulbs: 20 watts, 18 watts, 15 watts, 13 watts, 9 watts, 7 watts, 5

watts
Note: For Living Area, Dining, & Kitchen, always start at 20 watts LED Bulb
For Rooms, always start at 15 watts LED Bulb
For Bathroom, always start at 9 watts LED Bulb

 Living area, Dining, Kitchen – always at 20 watts LED Bulb

2. For Room 1;
Area = 2m x 3 m = 6 sq.m.
No. of Bulbs = (6x500)/(15x90) = 2.22 bulbs say 2 bulbs = 0.22
No. of Bulbs = (6x500)/(18x90) = 1.85 bulbs say 2 bulbs = 0.15 ( )
B. Lighting Circuit – (Circuit 1)
5 bulbs @ 13 watts = 65 watts
2 bulbs @ 18 watts = 36 watts
Total = 101 watts

1. Total Current = 101 watts/220 volts = 0.46 Amp.

 2. Use: 2 pcs-#14 AWG THW copper wire for C-1
3. Conduit Pipe
Use: 13mm Ø Conduit Pipe
4. Fuse
Use: 15 Amp Fuse
C. Small Appliances (Circuit – 2)
Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-2
D. Electric Stove @ 1.2 Kw (Circuit-3)
1,200/220 = 5.45 Amp.
Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-3
E. Washing Machine (Circuit -4)
Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-4
F. Aircon (Circuit -5)
Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-5
II. Service Entrance
(Always remember, start at #8 AWG THW copper wire for Service Entrance.)
