SERVICE. THE BUILDING CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING LOADS:

- 10,000 VA, 208V, THREE PHASE SIGN

- 100 DUPLEX RECEPTACLE SUPPLYING CONTINUOUS LOADS RATED AT 180VA EACH

- 30 FT LONG SHOW WINDOW

- 12KVA, 208Y/120V, THREE PHASE ELECTRIC RANGE

- 10KVA, 208Y/120V, THREE PHASE ELECTRIC OVEN

- 20KVA, 480V, THREE PHASE WATER HEATER

- SEVENTY FIVE 150W, 120V INCANDESCENT OUTDOOR LIGHTING FIXTURES

- TWO HUNDRED 200 VA INPUT, 277 V FLUORESCENT LIGHTING FIXTURES

- 7.5HP, 480V, THREE PHASE MOTOR FAN COIL UNIT

- 40KVA, 480V, THREE PHASE ELECTRIC HEATING UNIT

- 60A, 480V, THREE PHASE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

STEP 1: Calculate the load for the 100 receptacles

100 x 180VA = 18,000VA

First 10,000VA @ 100% 10,000VA

Remainder @ 50% 4,000VA

14,000VA

125% x 14000VA =17,500VA (CONTINUOUS LOAD)

STEP 2: Calculate the load for the show window using 200VA per linear foot

200 x 30ft = 6,000VA

125% x 6000VA = 7,500VA (CONTINUOUS LOAD)

STEP 3: Calculate the incandescent outside lighting

Apply demand factor from NEC Table 220.44

Page 2: Example: A 20,000 Sq. Ft. Office Building

75 x 150VA = 11,250VA

125% x 11250VA = 14,060VA (CONTINUOUS LOAD)

STEP 4: Calculate the load for 10KVA Sign Lighting

10KVA x 1000 = 10,000VA

125% x 10000VA = 12,500VA (CONTINUOUS LOAD)

STEP 5:

12KVA x 1000 = 12,000VA

STEP 6:

10KVA x 1000 = 10,000VA

STEP 7: Determine the sum of yhe load on the 208/120V lighting panel

Non-continuous load:

Non-cont.l 22000

Cont.l @ 125% 51563

TOTAL 73563

STEP 8: Determine the feeder rating for the subpanel

73,563 / (1.732 x 208) = 204Amp

Calculate the load for 12KVA range NEC sec 220.56

Calculate the load for 10KVA oven NEC sec 220.56

STEP 9:

Wire size: 4/0 THHN

CB size 225 A

STEP 10: Determine the 3-phase transformer over current protective devices

both primary and secondary sides.

Total Load: 73563

Vpri 480

Vsec 208

Ipri =73563/(1.732*480)

= 88.5 Amp

Isec =73563/(1.732*208)

= 204 Amp

Over current protective device

Pri =88.5 x 250%

= 221 Amp

NEMA Configurations

NEMA Nomenclature

Confused about the multitudes of plug, connector and receptacle combinations?  This page will help.  The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has assigned designations to the various configurations.  The purpose of so many different types is to prevent the wrong combinations of electrical systems from being plugged together, thereby avoiding potentially dangerous conditions.

Flange or Box Mounted

Connected to live source of electricity

receptacle - A female flange mounted wiring device with the conducting elements recessed behind the mating surface.  Often referred to as an outlet.  This type of device is normally wired to be live when nothing is plugged in to it. 

connector - A female cord mounted wiring device with the conducting elements recessed behind the mating surface.  This type of device is normally wired to be live when nothing is plugged in to it.  Therefore, connectors are

inlet - A male flange mounted wiring device with the conducting pins protruding and exposed.  This type device should never be wired to make the exposed pins live while the mating device is unplugged.

plug - A male cord mounted wiring device with the conducting pins protruding and exposed.  This type device should never be wired to make the exposed pins live while unplugged.  Therefore, plugs are always dead until they are plugged into a power source

Page 61: Example: A 20,000 Sq. Ft. Office Building

NEMA Configurations

This chart shows the most common NEMA configurations in use in North America for 125ac and 250Vac single phase systems.  This covers most residential applications.

Twist-lock devices have the advantage of locking in the mating position.  This is useful in applications where the connection experiences vibration or the associated cord is hanging or subject to accidental unplugging.

Additional configurations are defined in the ANSI/NEMA WD 6 standard which cover higher voltages, 3 phase applications, and specific purposes such as travel trailers, marine ship-to-shore and more.

Are YOU ready for the next power outage?

The NEMA nomenclature for the code numbers follows this table.

Properly Sized Room Air Conditioners

To figure out which size unit is best for your cooling needs:1. Determine the square footage of the area to be cooled using the following formulas:

For square and rectangular rooms, multiply the length of the area by its widthFor a triangular area, multiply the length of the area by the width and divide by 2

Most rooms can be further divided into these basic shapes to determine the square footage.

100 to 150 9.3 to 13.9 5,000 One ton of capacity equals 12,000 Btu/h150 to 250 13.9 to 23.2 6,000 (also one Btu/h is equal to 0.293 watts so...One ton = 3.516 Kilowatts)250 to 300 23.2 to 27.9 7,000

300 to 350 27.9 to 32.5 8,000

350 to 400 32.5 to 37.2 9,000

400 to 450 37.2 to 41.8 10,000

450 to 550 41.8 to 51.1 12,000

550 to 700 51.1 to 65.1 14,000

700 to 1,000 65.1 to 93.0 18,000

1,000 to 1,200 93.0 to 111.5 21,000

1,200 to 1,400 111.5 to 130.1 23,000

1,400 to 1,500 130.1 to 139.4 24,000

1,500 to 2,000 139.4 to 185.9 30,000

2,000 to 2,500 185.9 232.4 34,000

3. Make any adjustments for the following circumstances:

If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by 10 percent.If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10 percent.If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person.If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs.

Many people buy an air conditioner that is too large, thinking it will provider better cooling. However, an oversized air conditioner is actually less effective — and wastes energy at the same time. Air conditioners remove both heat and humidity from the air. If the unit is too large, it will cool the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity. This leaves the room with a damp, clammy feeling. A properly sized unit will remove humidity effectively as it cools.

If the shape of your room is other than square or rectangular, ask your sales associate to help you determine the square footage.

2. Using the square footage and the chart below, determine the correct cooling capacity. Cooling capacity is measured in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour.

Area To Be Cooled (square

feet)

Area To Be Cooled (square meter)

Capacity Needed

(BTUs per hour)

Consider where you install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow in the right direction.
