6.1 Working Formula

To determine the coefficient of utilization, use the table below from “Manual
of Practice on Efficient Lighting”, page 361. In this case, the coefficient of
utilization and maintenance
factors were set to 0.8. Then calculate the number of luminaires using the
equation below:

Where:

N = number of luminaire/s W = width, meters

L = length, meters
E = illumination level in lux
T = number of lamp/s per luminaire CU = coefficient of utilization

𝛷 = light output in lumen

MF = maintenance factor

7. Calculation of Right Cooling Capacity of Air-conditioners per Area

7.1. Computation of Rating of Air Conditioner
1. In accordance with the rule of thumb in computing the cooling capacity of
the air conditioning unit, use 600kJ/h per m2 in the equation shown below.

Cooling Capacity = L x W (Area) x 600 kJ/h +500 kJ/h

2. After identifying the capacity of air conditioning in item 1, visit the

website of Department of Energy on the list of a certified room air
conditioners. Choose the nearest equivalent cooling capacity (at least 500 –
1000 kJ higher than computed value in item 1).
3. Identify the equivalent compressor rating of the air conditioner in item B.
4. Based on the equivalent compressor rating in hp, get the equivalent ampere
rating based on table 4.30.14.2, page 370 of a PEC 2017. Note that the
value of the ampererating will be used in the schedule of load.
5. Typical Motor Compressor Rating (hp) vis-à-vis Cooling Capacity as
Claimed by Suppliers and Distributors

X. Comparison of Calculation Based on Schedule of Loads and Calculation Based on
Provisions of Article 2.20 Branch Circuit, Feeder and Service Calculation
The general requirements for calculating methods for branch-circuit loads, feeder
and service loads, and farm loads will be regulated by this article. This
demonstrates that the materials will be adequate for the anticipated branch circuit,
feeder, and service load installations. To show the factors for the computation for
its wire design analysis, typical single-family and multifamily dwelling units
subjected to various demand loads are presented.

A. Using the Schedule of Loads based on the design.

@ 80% Demand Factor

Total VA @ 80% demand factor = (PB1 total VA + PB2 total VA) (0.80)
Total VA @ 80% demand factor = (30,560 VA) (0.80) = 24,448 VA

Total Computed current = Total VA / 230

Total Computed current = 24,448 VA / 230 V = 106.29 A

@ 100 % Demand Factor

Total VA @ 100% demand factor = (30,560VA) (1)
Total VA @ 100% demand factor = (30,560) (1) = 30,560 VA

Total Computed current = Total VA / 230

Total Computed current = 30,560 VA / 230 V = 132.869 A

B. Using the PEC 2017 Edition Sample Computation.

CIX. Analysis
The analysis is done to observe the coherence of the computation using the
Design Computed Load (Schedule of Loads) at a baseline of 80% Demand
Factor and the Computation of Load Current using the Example D4 found
in the PEC 2017, page1048, based on the Article 2.20 Branch-Circuit, Feeder,
and Service Calculations. Percent Difference Formula with Regards to the
Subjects being observed.

Let A = Using Demand Factor @80%

Let B = Using the Example D4 of PEC 2017
%-Diff = ((A-B)/A) x 100

The rating of Non-Time Delay Fuse is higher due to its allowance for a
temporary surgeof current without going above its rating, while the Inverse
Time Circuit Breaker is a characteristic in which the breaker trips in more
time with lower overcurrent, and less time with higher overcurrent in this, it’s
allowance for current surge is lower, the higherthe surge is applied the faster it
will react to tripping.
