8 Calculation and load schedule

2.8.1 Calculation
Example 1
H1A have lighting 1 piece 0.43 A, receptacle 2 pieces 180 VA
and volt 230 V.
Soln S1 = 0.43 X 1 X 230 = 98.9 VA
S2 = 180 X 2 = 360 VA
ST2 = S1 + S2 = 458.9 VA
H2A have lighting 4 pieces 0.43 A, receptacle 4 pieces 180 VA
and volt 230 V.
S1 = 0.43 X 4 X 230 = 395.6 VA
S2 = 180 X 4 = 720 VA
ST1 = S1 + S2 = 1115.6 VA
Finding circuit-breaker
Stotal = ST1 + ST2 = 458.9 + 1115.6 = 1,574.5 VA
I = V = 230 = 6.85 A
S 1574.5

Choose the size of wiring is 4 mm2

6.85 34
0.9
AT 1.1

7.6 AT 30.9

Choose 20 AT can be durable by 16 A.

Example 2 Coffee Shop

Coffee Shop have lighting 10 pieces 0.43 A, receptacle 6 pieces
180 VA, air conditioner 2 pieces 7.5 A and volt 230 V.
Soln
S1 = 0.43 X 10 X 230 = 989 VA
 S2 = 180 X 6 = 1,080 VA
S3 = 7.5 X 2 X 240 = 3,450 VA
ST2 = S1 + S2 + S3 = 5,519 VA
I = V = 230 = 24 A
S 5519

Choose the size of wiring is 6 mm2

24 44
0.9
AT 1.1

26.66 AT 40

Choose 32 AT can be durable by 25.6 A.

Example 3 Zone A
1. Calculation of wire size
Zone A Load = 22,03.6 VA ( PEA.230/400 )
3 : S = 3 VI , so I = 3XV
S

= X 0.75 = 24.8 A
22,903.6
3X400

Spare wire size by 25 % = 24.8 X 1.25

= 31 A
So Icable > 31 A
1.1 Due to the cable is outdoor wiring so using aluminium
wire.
1.2 Using the method by wiring on the insulator in air with
horizontal pillar. (Reference from E.I.T standard 2013 page 5-
61)
From table 5-61: Wire size = 25 mm2. , Current rating = 86
A
Icable > 31 A 86 > 31 A

So choose wire size 25 mm2

2. Calculation of voltage drop
Zone A From table 3.15 (Reference from wire table THW- A
at temperature 80 degree)
RL= 1.465, XL= 0.106, P.F.= 1, Wire length 300 m
RL=1.465 X 300
1000
= 0.4395
XL=0.106 X 300
1000
= 0.0318
3I(RL cos +XL sin )
U3 =
V

331.787(0.4395)
= 400

U3 = 6.049%

3. Calculation of circuit breaker

Zone A Isource
0.9
Ibreaker
Icable
1.1

35.318 Ibreaker 78.18

So use circuit breaker 40AT 50AF

4. Calculation of Icu
Zone A Transformer 100kVA, Po= 320 W, Pk= 1,750 W
Pk 1750
URT = = 100 = 1.75%
SN 103 100k

U
RT Uo 2 1.754002
R T = 100S 3 = = 0.028
N 10 100100k

= 2 2 = 62 1.752 = 5.739%

2 5.7394002
= 100 3 = = 0.0918
10 100100

400
=
3((0.028+0.26)2 +(0.0918+0.0303)2 )

= 0.738 > 0.738

= 2.406 > 2.406

So choose Icu= 6000A, Ics= 0.5 Icu

Use circuit breaker 40 AT 50 AF Icu= 6kA, Ics= 0.5 Icu
