LOAD SCHEDULE
COMPUTATION
For Circuit Number 1 and 2: Lighting Loads
“The Philippine Electrical Code provides that 100Watts be the maximum load per light outlet.”
Circuit Number 1:
P= 8 outlets X 100W= 800W
I = 800/230 = 3.47 A
Circuit Number2:
P= 7 outlets X 100W= 700W
I = 700/230 = 3.04 A
For Circuit Number 3 to 5 and 9: Other Loads
“The National Electrical Code provides that ampacity of the connected load shall not exceed
80% of the amperage capacity of the conductor and the fuse.” The maximum ampacity load of a
2.0 mm2 copper wire and 15 A, The breaker are30 A and 15 A respectively. 80% of 30 A and 15
A are 24 A and 12 A respectively. Therefore, for Circuit Number 1 and 2, the use of 2.0 mm2wire
and 15 AT breaker is safe. Also, for 2 pieces of 2.0 mm2wire, use 13 mm diameter of conduit
pipe.
Circuit Number 3: Refrigerator
P = 1000 W
I = 1000/230 = 4.35 A
Circuit Number 4: Range
P = 1500 W
I=1500/230=6.52A
Circuit Number 5: Spare
P = 1500 W
I = 1500/230= 6.52 A
Circuit Number 9: Spare
P = 1000 W
I = 1000/230= 4.35 A
For Circuit Number 6 to 8: Air-Conditioning Units
Article 67 of the Philippine Electrical Code provides that: “Branch circuit conductor supplying a
motor shall have an ampacity not less than 125% of the full load current.” Also, the code on
branch circuit protection for a single motor provides that: “It shall be increased by 250% of the
full load current of the motor.”
Circuit Number 6: ACU
P=1000W
I=1000/230= 4.35A
Circuit Number 7: ACU
P=1000W
I=1000/230= 4.35A
Circuit Number 8: ACU
P=1000W
I=1000/230= 4.35A
