Electrical System
I. Sizing of Main Equipment
A. General Considerations
The main equipments for the building’s electrical system are the transformers and
generator sets. The sizes of these equipments are determined during the schematic
design stage, which depend on load estimate calculation. The load estimate is derived
from load densities defined for areas in each type of the building to be designed, which
depends on the nature of the building and its corresponding electrical requirement.
1. Transformers
Main transformer is sized based from load estimation after the application of
demand factor defined by the designing electrical engineer.
2. Generator Sets
Generator(s), on the other hand, is/are sized depending on building requirement;
that is, same size as the main transformer(s) if the building is intended to have
100% backup power. Also, generator sets are sized based on ‘standby’ rating.
Below are the common load groups that are considered in load estimation –
1. Lighting – Interior, exterior, normal, emergency.
2. Small Power Loads – Receptacle outlets, appliances.
3. Air-conditioning – Chillers, AHU’s, Fans, etc.
4. Plumbing and Sanitation – Domestic pumps, booster pumps, transfer pumps,
sump pump, water heaters.
5. Fire protection – Fire pumps, FDAS.
6. Transportation – Elevators, Escalators.
7. Food preparation – Cooking, refrigerating, dishwashing, ovens, etc.
8. Special Loads – Loads in theaters, etc
9. Miscellaneous loads – Auxiliary systems, etc
This design calculation standard will only address the following types of building –
1. Residential Buildings
2. Malls
3. BPOs
4. Hotels
B. System Voltage Consideration

The utilization voltage considered in this design calculation standard is 3-phase, four-
wire, 400V / 230 V, 60 Hz. Three phase loads shall be served at 400V, while single
phase loads shall be served at 230V line-to-neutral.
Primary voltage shall be based from available power utility supply.

C. Prescriptive Design Parameters

The load densities to be used in load estimation and initial main equipment sizing will be
based from the parameters defined below. These parameters were derived from
historical design parameters, code requirements, and actual building performance of
existing Ayala buildings. However, the external designer is given liberty to review and
adjust these parameters based from his experience.
The load considerations for residential buildings in terms of power are typically the
same – household loads and admin/common area loads.

3. BPO Buildings
Design considerations for BPOs are different from typical office buildings. The
occupant density is higher for BPOs resulting from higher cooling and power
requirement. However, the design for BPO is often just ‘core-and-shell’, since
detailed design for tenant spaces are handled by tenants. Therefore, power
allotment for tenant units should be carefully considered to anticipate tenant
power requirement.

D. Design Calculation Example
A 150hp Nema Design B fire pump motor has a full load current of 240Amp. Its
associated pressure maintenance pump is rated 5hp having a full load current of
9.7Amp. The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40°C. The power supply is
400V, 3Φ, 60hz.
a. Sizing of feeder wire to the fire pump controller

150hp, 380V, 3Φ FLC
240A x 1.25 = 300A
5hp, 380V, 3Φ FLC
9.70A x 1.25 =12.13A
Total FLC =312.13A, say 312A
And so, the minimum ampacity of feeder conductors is 312A. Correcting the
conductor ampacity to 40°C by dividing 0.88, we yield 354A. Using 75˚C
temperature rating of 600V rated building wires; a 250mm2 copper conductor is
the minimum size as per PEC Table 3.10.1.16

b. Voltage Drop Considerations

Where:
VD = Voltage Drop
NV = Nominal Voltage at Source
I = 1.15* FLC for running condition or
I = LRC for starting condition
R = DC resistance ohm/305m
L = Feeder wire length
Using the above formula, the feeder wire, 200mm2 copper conductor, must not
exceed 200m length to satisfy both motor starting and running voltage drop
limitations.
c. Sizing of OCPD and ATS

150hp, 380V, 3Φ FLC
240A x 6 = 1,440A (locked rotor current)
5hp, 380V, 3Φ FLC
9.70A x 6 = 58.20A
Total RLC =1,498.20A say, 1,498A
And so, the total locked rotor current is 1,498A, assuming Nema Design B code
F. The next higher standard size of OCPD (circuit breaker) and ATS is
1600AF/AT

C. Design Calculation Procedure
Calculate the size of capacitor bank in a 1MVA electrical system, to be able to

correct the system power from 0.8 to 0.95.
Based from the power triangle,

S = 1000 KVA
Cos Φ1 = 0.8 ; Φ1 = 36.87°
Cos Φ2= 0.95 ; Φ2 = 18.19°
Also,
Sin Φ1 = Q1/S
Q1 = S*sinΦ1
Q2 = S*sinΦ2
Solving for Qc,

Qc = Q1 - Q2
Qc = S (sinΦ1 - sinΦ2)
= 1000(0.6 - 0.312)
Qc = 288 KVAR say, 300kVAR
And so, the rating of the capacitor is 300kVAR. Selecting capacitor sensitivity of 5%-
15%, provide 6 – steps of 50kVAR.
