  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the electrical load calculation document in the editor.
  2. Begin by entering the owner's name and location at the top of the form. This personalizes your document and ensures clarity.
  3. Fill in the total floor area of the dwelling in square feet, as required by NEC 220.12. This is crucial for accurate calculations.
  4. Calculate the general lighting load by multiplying the total square footage by 3 VA/SQ FT. Enter this value in line 1.
  5. For small appliance circuits, input a minimum of two circuits at 1500 VA each (line 2).
  6. Add a laundry circuit (line 3) also rated at 1500 VA.
  7. Sum lines 1, 2, and 3 to find the total general lighting load (line 4).
  8. Calculate the first 3000 VA at 100% (line 5) and then determine line 6 by applying a reduction of 35% on any amount over that threshold.
  9. Add lines 5 and 6 to get your net general lighting load (line 7).
  10. Continue filling out appliance loads and other necessary fields as indicated, ensuring all calculations are accurate for compliance with NEC standards.

You can use the load calculation formula, Power (W) = Voltage (V) Current (A). It will convert the information to watts. Determining Load Types: Electrical loads can differ based on their characteristics.
Use the formula for power: Power = Voltage x Current, or P = VI. If you are trying to calculate the minimum load and you happen to only know the power and voltage ratings of your power supply, you can use the formula P = V2/R, which can become R = V2/P.
If no load weight information has been provided, then you will need to calculate it yourself. To do so, determine the volume of the load and material its composed of with the following formula: Load weight = weight per volume * total volume.
Know the Voltage: Establish the voltage at which the electrical system operates, measured in volts (V). Calculate the Amperage: Divide the wattage by the voltage using the formula A = W / V.
The motor full load current calculation is as follows: Full Load Current, A = Three-phase motor power in KW multiplied with 1000 / (V * PF * ɳ * 3) Here, 3-phase motor power= 10KW; V= 415; PF= 0.8; ɳ= 0.88. A = 10 * 1000 / (415 * 0.8 * 0.88 * 3) A = 10000 / (506.035)

The electricity demand (in kW) is your peak load. The load factor formula is: Monthly kWh/(monthly peak KW Demand * days in billing period * 24 hours). For example, imagine that you receive an electric bill that indicates 40,000 kilowatt hours of use, with a peak demand reading of 100 kilowatts.
