Single family Dwelling Unit, 230 Volts Single Phase Service, Optional Calculation

The Dwelling Unit has a floor area of 166.20 m2. It has the typical house appliances including three 1-Hp
and one 1.5-Hp air-conditioning units, one 5KW electric range, one 3.5KW wall-mounted oven, one 1-Hp
water pump, and one 3.5KW water heater.

Air Conditioning Load

Three 1-Hp Air-conditioning units (window type),
3 pcs x 8A x 230V x 100%= 5520VA
Provide two 20-Ampere room acu circuits.

One 1.5-Hp Air-conditioning unit (window type),

1 pc x 10A x 230V x 100%= 2300VA
Provide one 20-Ampere room acu circuits.
Other Loads

Lighting and Convenience Receptacle Load:

166.2 m2 x 24 VA/m2 x 100% = 3988.8VA
Provide at least two 25-Ampere lighting and convenience receptacle circuits.

One 4KW Electric Range,

1 pc x 4000W x 1 = 4000VA
Provide one 25-Ampere Electric Range Circuit

One 3.5KW Wall-Mounted Oven

1 pc x 3500W x 1 = 3500VA
Provide one 25-Ampere Wall Mounted Oven Circuit

Two Small Appliance Circuit

2pcs x 1500VA = 3000VA
Provide two 20-Ampere small appliance circuits

One Laundry Washing Machine

1pc x 1500VA = 1500VA
Provide one 20-Ampere laundry circuit

One 1-Hp Water Pump

1pc x 8A x 230V = 1840VA
Provide one 15-Ampere water pump circuit

One 3.5KW Water Heater

1 pc x 3500W x 1 = 3500VA
Provide one 25-Ampere water heater circuits

Total Other Load = VA

 Application of Demand Factor on Other Loads:
First 10,000 VA @ 100% DF = 10,000VA
18208VA x 40% = 7283.2VA
Total Net Computed Load = 25,103.2VA
Circuit Requirement:
Use two 15-Ampere 2-wire branch circuits, seven 20-Ampere 2-wire branch circuits, five 25-
Ampere 2-wire branch circuits, and one 30-Ampere 2-wire branch circuit.
Service Entrance Conductors:
Total Full Load Current:
S.E.C. = Total Net Computed Load/230V
S.E.C. = 25103.2/230V
S.E.C. = 109.1443478 A
Remarks: Use 2-wire 38mm2 THHN + 1-wire 14mm2 THW in 32mm IMC
Service Equipment
Maximum Current Rating Protecting Device:
S.E.C. = [(Total Net Computed Load) + (150%) (Highest Rated Motor)] / 230V
S.E.C. = [(25103.2VA) + (150%) (2300VA)] / 230V
S.E.C. = 124.1443478 A
Remarks: Use 125AT, 125AF, 2P MCCB (Bolt-type), 10 KAIC
