I. Total Loads

A. Air Conditioning Load:

One Package Type ACU (6 kVA)
6,000 𝑉𝐴 = 6,000 𝑉𝐴
Three 1.0 HP Air Conditioning Units (8 A)
8 𝐴 × 230 𝑉 × 3 = 5,520 𝑉𝐴
One 1.5 HP Air Conditioning Units (12 A)
12 𝐴 × 230 𝑉 = 2,760 𝑉𝐴
Total ACU Loads = 𝟏𝟒, 𝟐𝟖𝟎 𝑽𝑨

B. Lighting and Convenience Receptacle Load:

Lighting Loads
30 × 100 𝑉𝐴 = 3,000 𝑉𝐴
Convenience Receptacle
20 × 180 𝑉𝐴 = 3,600 𝑉𝐴
Total General Lighting & Conv. Loads = 𝟔, 𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝑽𝑨

C. Cooking Load:
Two Wall Mounted Oven (4 kW)
4,000 𝑊 × 2 = 8,000 𝑉𝐴
One Electric Range (8 kW)
8,000 𝑊 = 8,000 𝑉𝐴
Subtotal Load = 16,000 𝑉𝐴
Application of Demand Factors
16,000 𝑉𝐴 × 0.55 = 𝟖, 𝟖𝟎𝟎 𝑽𝑨

Two Microwave Oven (1.5 kW)

1,500 𝑊 × 2 = 3,000 𝑉𝐴
One Electric Range (3 kW)
3,000 𝑊 = 3,000 𝑉𝐴
Subtotal Load = 6,000 𝑉𝐴
Application of Demand Factors
6,000 𝑉𝐴 × 0.70 = 𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝑽𝑨
Total Cooking Loads = 𝟏𝟑, 𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝑽𝑨

D. Other Loads
One 20-Ampere Small Appliance Circuit (1,500 VA)
1,500 𝑉𝐴 = 1,500 𝑉𝐴
One Laundry Washing Machine (1,500 VA)
1,500 𝑉𝐴 = 1,500 𝑉𝐴
One Clothes Dryer (5 kW)
5,000 𝑊 = 5,000 𝑉𝐴
Four Water Heaters (5 kW)
5,000 𝑊 × 4 = 20,000 𝑉𝐴
One 1.5 Hp Water Pump (12 A)
12 𝐴 × 230 𝑉 = 2,760 𝑉𝐴
Subtotal Load = 30,760 𝑉𝐴
Application of Demand Factors
30,760 𝑉𝐴 × 0.40 = 12,304 𝑉𝐴
Total Other Loads = 𝟏𝟐, 𝟑𝟎𝟒 𝑽𝑨

Total Net Computed Loads = 𝟒𝟔, 𝟏𝟖𝟒 𝑽𝑨

II. Service Entrance Conductors

Total Full Load Current:
[46,184 𝑉𝐴 + 25%(6,000 𝑉𝐴)] ÷ 230 𝑉 = 𝟐𝟎𝟕. 𝟑𝟐𝟐 𝑨
Use two 150 mm2 THW wires

III. Service Equipment

a. Maximum Current Rating of Protective Device

Inverse Time Circuit Breaker

[(250% × 6,000) + 5,520 + 2,760 + 6,600 + 13,000 + 12,304] ÷ 230 = 𝟐𝟑𝟗. 𝟗𝟑𝟎 𝑨

b. Service Equipment Rating

Use one 300-ampere trip, 1-pole, 240-volt molded case circuit breaker.
