Electrical load calculation determines service size, feeder, and branch circuit requirements. Under-sizing risks overheating; over-sizing wastes cost.

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1Sum connected loads and apply demand factors per code
  2. 2Typical demand factors: lighting 100%, HVAC 100%, convenience outlets 50-100%
  3. 3Size service for total demand + margin for future growth

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
Lighting 50 kW, HVAC 150 kW, outlets 30 kW, motors 100 kW
Kết quả
Total demand ≈ 270 kW + 25% margin = 338 kW service
Code-compliant sizing

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Using connected load without demand factors
  • Neglecting motor inrush current effects

Câu hỏi thường gặp

Why use demand factors?

Not all loads run simultaneously; factors reflect realistic concurrent usage patterns.

Should future growth be included?

Yes, typically 20-25% margin allows expansion without service upgrade.
