Service Entrance Computation

General Lighting Load and general use receptacle

150 sq.m X 24 W/sq.m = 3,600 W

Air Conditioning Load

{ [ (10 X 7) + 6.10] + (0.25 X 10) } X 230 = 18,078 W

Range Load

One 5 kW range at 80% DF = 5,000 X 0.8 = 4,000 W

Other Loads

One 9 kW Refrigerator = 900 W

Applying demand Factor (DF) for other loads

900 W X 40% DF = 900 X 0.4 = 360 W

Total Computed Load

18,078 + 4,000 + 900 + 360 = 23,338 W

Total Computed Current

23,338 W/ 230 V = 101.47 A

Service entrance conductor

Use 3.5 mm2 THW in 20 mm diameter PVC

Service Equipment

A. Maximum Current Rating of Protective Device, with

1. Non-Time Delay Fuse

[18,078 + 1785 +360 + 300%(10X230) + (10 X 230)] / 230 = 111.29 A

2. Inverse-Time Circuit Breaker

[18,078 + 1785 + 360 + 250%(10X230) + (10 X 230)] / 230 = 132.58 A

B. Service Equipment Rating in case of undergrounded service

1. Use one 50 AT,2PST, 250 V safety switch with two 100 A renewable fuses or

2. Use one 30 AT, 2 poles, 240 V, molded case circuit breaker
