Load Calculations

General Lights @ 100 W = 700 W

Applying Diversity @ 66% = 462 W

Total Current = 462 / 110 = 4.2A

Load per Phase = 2.1A / ph

General Plugs @ 15A

First 1 @ 100% of 20A = 20A

Rem. 8 @ 40% of 20A = 64A

Total Current = 84A

Amps per Phase = 42A / ph

GFCI Plugs @ 20A

All at 100% =20A

Amps per Phase =10A / ph

AC

1st AC

4 KW @ 125% = 4000 * 1.25 = 5000 W

P.F. = 90%

VA = P/ P.F.

= 5000 W / 0.9

= 5,555.56 VA

Amperage = VA / 220 V

= 25.25A

Total AC Current = 25.25 A

Given that the Ampacity of the installation is 155.92 A, use a figure of 200 A at 220 V. the main circuit breaker will be 200 A, DP, 220 V
Calculating Sub-circuits

Lighting

For 23 lights the number of lighting circuits will be 4 circuits

1 cct with 6 lights

2 ccts with 5 lights

1 cct with 7 lights

Receptacle Outlet

For the plugs

1st cct @ 20 A

Remainder ccts @ 40% of 20 A = 8 A

Kitchen – 2 ccts

General – 11 ccts.
