Demand Factor Estimation To adjust the connected load to the actual load

Load Calculation (E.I.T.) lighting Building Lighting (VA) Demand Factor (%) Residential Area  2,000 > 2,000 100 35 Hospital  50,000 > 50,000 40 20 Hotel, Condominium  20,000 20,001 – 100,000 > 100,000 50 30 Warehouse  12,500 > 12,500 Other

Load Calculation (E.I.T.) receptacles Total Load from Receptacle Demand Factor (%) Non residential area  10kVA 100 > 10kVA 50 Residential area 𝐿 𝑚𝑎𝑥 +0.4 𝐿 𝑟

Load Calculation (E.I.T.) Demand Factor of Appliances Building Lighting (VA) Demand Factor (%) Residential Area Kitchen Hot Water Air Condition 10A+30% of extra first two + 25% of other 100 Office, Store First maximum device + 80% of the second max. + 60% of the rest 100% of the largest + 25% of the rest Hotel, Other Same as Office 75

Load Calculation by Adding Branch Circuit Add of all branch circuit Then multiply by the demand factor Number of Panels Demand Factor (%) 1 2-3 4-6 7-10 > 10 100 90 80 70 60

Load Calculation for Condominium Load: common area + individual room Type Number of Rooms Coincident Factor (%) Residential 1-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 > 41 90 80 70 60 50 Non residential > 11 100 85
