Utilities Final Project

The document outlines the steps for calculating electrical requirements for three circuits: lighting load, small appliance load, and other loads. It includes determining the number of outlets, total current, conductor sizes, conduit sizes, and overcurrent protection for each circuit. Additionally, it describes how to find the service entrance size by calculating total load current and applying an 80% demand factor.
