Electrical Load Calculation Form PDF

This document provides a standard form for calculating electrical load requirements for single family homes. It includes factors and calculations for general lighting load, small appliance circuits, laundry circuits, fixed appliances, air conditioners, clothes washers/dryers, electric ranges/ovens, electric vehicle chargers, and motors. The total calculated service load in volt-amperes is then converted to amperes and compared to the required service rating to ensure adequate electrical capacity.
