Load Calculation

The document outlines the electrical load calculations for various systems including lighting, small power sockets, air conditioning, water pumps, and water heaters, resulting in a total connected load of 107.5 kW and a demand load of 81.8 kW. It also calculates the future load, transformer requirements, generator specifications, and main cable specifications based on the demand. The final circuit breaker rating is suggested to be 147.3A based on the calculated current requirements.

Total connected load = 107,446 W = 107.5 kw

Total demand load = 81,807 W = 81.8 Kw

Total future load = total demand load + 25% = 81.8 x 1.25 = 102,3 Kw

Transformer = 102.3/0.8 = 127.78 KVA loading at 80% = 127.78 x 1.2 =153.34 KVA look to standard
rating

Generator = 153.34 KVA look to standard rating

Main cable

P= √3 v i cos Ø = W

P = future load = 102,300 w

V= 415V

I=?

cos Ø = 0.8

I = p/√3 v cos Ø = 102,300/√3x415x0.8 = 102300/575= 117.9A

First choose rating for circuit breaker = 117.9+ 25% = 117.9x1.25= 147.3A look to standard rating

Then choose cable more than 147.3A
