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

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. SIZING OF CONDUITS
Percent Conductor Fill formula is given byWhere:
D = interior diameter of conduit
d = diameter of conductor (wire)
n = number of conductors
According to PEC Table 9.1.1.1 the percent fill of (more than two) conductors in a conduit
should not exceed 40%.
III.
BUSDUCT SYSTEM
Busduct system shall be considered to be used for main feeders and risers. Busduct
may be of copper or aluminum conductor material; whichever the project budget
dictates.
A. Busduct Sizing shall be based on the following considerations

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, 3 FLC
240A x 6 = 1,440A (locked rotor current)
5hp, 380V, 3 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
