CALCULATIONS
Computed (NEC 220)
1. Continuous load
3. Signage Load
4. P.O.S Load
5. Aircon Load
USE: #2-8.0mm sq.THHN, 1-5.5 mm sq. THHN (G) Line in 25mm Dia. IMC
Main Breaker: 40 AT, 2P, 230 Volts, 10 KAIC
SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT CALCULATIONS:
Calculating short circuit current during system upgrade and design are life-safety in order to
protect personnel and equipment. It is required to check or select the equipment rating.Hand
calculations can be used for small system. Engineering software is a necessity for large system.
From Electrical Plan
Total Current= 21.52 amperes
KVA Xformer= 21.52 x 230 =4.95 kva say 50kva
1000
USE: #2-8.0mm sq. THHN, 1-5.5 mm sq. THHN (G) Line in 25mm Dia. IMC
Main Breaker: 40AT / 60 AF, 2P, 230 Volts, 10KAIC
CONVERSION:
Z= 2.4585 OHMS x 1MILE x 40METERS
MILE 1600
= 0.0615 OHMS
SIMPLIFIED DIAGRAM:
Zs = 0.0001
Zt= 0.025
Zw= 0.1163
Fault
The Philippine Electrical Code have specified the allowable voltage drop at the maximum load
current, 5% for feeders and 3% for branch circuits
