Assignment No. 4
Load Characteristics Calculation

Pua's residence is being evaluated for its daily load consumption as part of an assignment
for EE 423. The following loads were recorded on March 23, 2024 (Saturday):
 10W – LED Light
 45W, 50W and 60W – Electric Fan
 900W – Rice Cooker
 24W - Wi-Fi
 18W - Phone Charge
 60W - Laptop Charge

These loads will be utilized for calculating the maximum demand, average demand, load
factor, total energy consumption and demand factor.

Maximum Demand:
The maximum demand among the listed loads is 900 Watts for the Rice cooker.

b. Average Demand:
Total energy
Ave. Demand =

Demand Factor = =
Total connected load 2787 W
Demand Factor =0.3229 or 32.29 %
