The Load Schedule
The following details can be seen in the schedule of load:
Number of branch circuit of electrical wiring system
Number of light outlet, power outlet and switches per
branch
Total wattage rating of the load per circuit branch
Total current load per circuit and size of wire used
Computation of the total power and current of each
circuit branch.
Size of conduit used for feeder line and branch circuits.

The Riser Diagram
- is a single line diagram presentation of the entire electrical
circuit from the service entrance up to the smallest circuit
branch.
- Shows :
a. Character and type of service, single phase 2 wire/ 3 wire
b. Size of service entrance conductor and the conduit used

c. Type and size of wire for each branch

d. Size of protective device for main circuit breaker and
each branch

CIRCUITING GUIDELINES
CIRCUITING GUIDELINES based on the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) requirements:
1. The code requires sufficient circuitry to supply residential load of 30 watts per square meter.
2. The requirement 30 watts per square meter is up to 80 square meters for 20 amp circuit
(2400 watts) or 60 square meters for 15 ampere circuit (1800watts).
3. The code requires a minimum of 20 amperes for appliance branch to feed all small
appliances outlet in the kitchen, dining, and living room.
4. The general purpose branch shall be rated 20 amperes. Wire no. 12 AWG is the minimum
size of conductor required for all the convenience outlets.
5. The minimum circuit load of 15 ampere circuit breaker shall be used for light circuit.
6. Plug outlet or convenience receptacles shall be counted in computing the load if its not in
the load of general lighting circuit.
For 15 amp circuit: 9/1.5= 6 outlets
For 20 amp circuit 12/1.5= 8 outlets

CIRCUITING GUIDELINES
7. Convenience outlet should be planned properly. It should not be placed in one circuit
so that the failure of one will not deprive the supply of power to the other circuit.
8. All kitchen outlets should be fed from any of the circuits except lighting circuit.
9. Certain outlet in the room should be designed as appliances outlet.
All kitchen receptacles
Dining room receptacles
One in the living room
10. The code requires that at least one 20 amp circuit is supplied to the laundry outlets.
11. Provide a separate circuit for air conditioning units.( Consider it as a special purpose
circuit / outlet )
