Characteristics of Loads
3
• Continuous Load
– More than 3 hrs. of continuous usage e.g. lighting, air condition
• Non-continuous Load:
– Less than 3 hrs. of continuous usage e.g. electric oven, microwave
When not sure, add 25% more

Characteristics of LoadsDefinition
4
• Total Connected Load: total kVA or MVA listed
• Maximum Demand: the maximum kVA or MVA
used at the same time
Assumption University Thailand
Characteristics of LoadsDefinition
5
• Demand Factor (D.F.): ratio of “Maximum
Demand” to “Total Connected Load” ()
• Diversity Factor: summation of every branched
circuits’ maximum demand to the system’s maximum demand (always greater than or equal to 1.0)
Assumption University Thailand
Characteristics of LoadsDefinition
6
• Peak Load (P): the maximum kVA or MVA at the
given periond (e.g. 15 min)
• Load Factor (L.F.): ratio of “Average Load” to the
“Peak Load” (). is total energy for period of time
Assumption University Thailand
Characteristics of LoadsCommon Load
7
• Lighting: about 20-50% of total load or 20-100VA/m2
• Receptacle: if no specific information,
180-200VA/set (1, 2 or 3 outlets)
• HVAC: 1TR (12,000 BTU) is about 1.5-1.8kVA
• Motor
• Escalator: manufacturer’s specification

Branch Circuit
11
• Connect from a distribution panel to load or receptacle
• Lighting or Appliance Branch Circuit
– Lighting Branch Circuit
– Receptacle Branch Circuit
– Lighting & Receptacle Branch Circuit
– Individual Branch Circuit

Branch CircuitCalculation
12
• Load of a branch circuit (BC) at least the total load connected to that branch.
• Conductor Sizing Current Rating of CB
• Current Rating of CB Maximum Load
• Size of a BC goes by the current rating of CB: 15(16)A, 20A, 25A, 30(32)A, 40A, 50A, 63A
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitDesign Procedure
13
• Find “Load”
• Calculate “Circuit Breaker” (% of BC)
• Calculate “Cable”
• Verify “Voltage Drop”: 1-2% of rated voltage
?? safety factor ??
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitDesign Recommendations
14
• Lighting Circuit: continuous load
– 50-70% of BC (no more than 80%) or allowance of 10-30%
• Individual Branch Circuit: load is known
– Should be no more than 80% of BC
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitDesign Recommendations
15
• Receptacles Circuit: single, duplex, triplex
– 180VA per set (200VA for ease)
• Individual Circuit with ELCB: heater, Jacuzzi
• Receptacles Circuit with ELCB: toilet, kitchen,
basement, outdoor, < 1.5m from water
?? Some recommendations can be relaxed ??
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitDesign Recommendations
16
• Separate the type of load: lighting on one BC
• Future Load:
– 20% spare at least
– 40% if continuous load
• Cable size is no smaller than 2.5mm2
• BC for receptacles contains less than 10 sets
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitDrawing
17
• # of hash marks is # of cables
• No hash mark means 2 cables
• One hash mark + number is the number of cables
• Arrow + Lx is connected to circuit breaker (phase) #x
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitPanelboard
18
• No more than 42 circuit
• No longer than 50 m
• Easy to access (no higher than 1.8m)
• Rated is more than the rated of the cable
• At least one panel board per floor
• Must have protection equipment (CB)
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitPanelboard
19
• Should be in the center: balance the voltage drop
• Should be close to the incoming: shortest feeder
• Three types
– Active Branch Circuit (60-80%)
– Spare Branch Circuit with CB (10-20%)
– Spare Branch Circuit (10-20%)
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitFeeder
20
• Rated current of feeder is the total load deducted by the “demand factor”
• Feeder Cable Rating of CB
• Rating of CB Feeder’s Rated Current
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitFeeder – Demand Factor
21
• Demand Factor is the ratio of the maximum usage power at any certain time to the total connected load.
• There are tables for the demand factor, e.g. receptacles in kitchen, lighting. If not specify, 0.8 is a good number

Branch CircuitFeeder – Neutral
22
• In single phase system, neutral cable will be the same size and line cable.
• In three phase, neutral cable can be reduced.
– Less than 200A, use the phase current
– More than 300A
• Without Harmonics,
• With Harmonics, use the phase current
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitFeeder - Design Procedure
23
• Sum up total BCs’ load
• Calculate “Circuit Breaker”
• Calculate “Cable”: Phase then Neutral
• Verify “Voltage Drop”: 1-2% of rated voltage
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitLoad Schedule
24
• List of connected load
• CB number start from 1(A), 3(B), 5(C), 2(A), 4(B), 6(C) then 7(A), 9(B), 11(C), 8(A), 10(B), 12(C)
• Consider the balance of load in all phases (less than 20% is recommended)
Assumption University Thailand
Branch CircuitLoad Schedule – Design Recommendation
25
• Load Calculation
– Non-continuous Load, no multiplier
– Continuous Load, 1.25 multiplier (or more in case of future expansion)
– If not sure, treat as continuous load.
• Then choose the circuit breaker
• Then choose the cable
