 Example:
The domestic load in residential building is used in the
following manner:
Fluorescent lamps 55 watt each, 4 Nos.6 Hrs/day
Fans 70 watt each,4 Nos. 8 Hrs/day
Refrigerator of 300 watt,12 Hrs/day
Heater of 1000 watt, 2 Hrs/day
Television of 150 watt, 8 Hrs/day
Calculate:1) connected load and 2) Total coast of electrical
energy for 30 days, at the rate of rupees 3/unit
 Solution:
1) Connected Load :

Sr NO Item Watt Nos Total Wattage

1. Fluroscent 55 4 220
2. Lamp 70 4 280
3. Fan 300 1 300
4. Refrigerator 1000 1 1000
5. Heater 150 1 150
T.v
2) Daily Load
Sr NO Item Energy Consumption/day(Wh/day)

1. Fluroscent 55*4*6=1320
2. Lamp 2870*4*8=2240
3. Fan 300*1*12=3600
4. Refrigerator 100*1*2=2000
5. Heater 150*1*8=1200
T.v
Total energy consumption/day
=10360 Wh
=10.360 kWh

Maximum energy in a day

=1950*24
=46800 Wh
=46.8 kwH
3) Total cost of electrical energy for 30 days:

Total cost of electrical energy for 30 days

=10.360*30
=310.8 kWh
=311 kWh or unit
Cost of energy is rupees i3/unit
Total cost of electrical energy
=3*311
=Rupees 933
