COMPUTATION FOR TOTAL LOAD
General Lighting
88 m2 x 24 volt-amperes/m2 = 2,112 volt-amperes
The computed load is 2,112/230 = 9.18 Amps
*Provide one 20-ampere branch circuit
Small Appliance Load
One 20-ampere circuit @ 1,500 volt-amperes
*Provide one 20-ampere small appliance circuit.
Sub-total = 3,712 volt-amperes
Application of Demand Factor
First 3,000 volt-amperes @ 100% DF = 3,000 VA
Remainder @ 35%(712 VA x 0.35) = 249. 20VA

Other Loads
Two 1 HP room ACU, 2 x 8 A x 230 = 3,680 VA
One 1 HP water pump, 8 A X 230 = 1, 840 VA
*Provide two 20-ampere circuit. ____________
Total Net Computed Load = 8,769.2 VA

CIRCUIT REQUIREMENT
Use five 20-ampere branch circuits.
SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS
Total Full load current:
[8,769.2 VA + 25%(1,840 VA)] /230 = 40.13 Amps.

Use two 8.0 mm2 THW wires in 20 mm(3/4 in)

diameter conduit.

SERVICE EQUIPMENT
Maximum current for protective device:
[3,000 VA +249. 20 VA + 3,680 VA
+ 250%(1,840 VA)] / 230 = 50.13 Amperes

Use 50-ampere trip, 2-pole, 240 –volt circuit

breaker.
