Design Analysis

This document provides calculations for electrical service load and short circuit protection for a single family dwelling. It calculates the total residential load to be 17472VA based on lighting, air conditioning, small appliances, and laundry loads. It then determines the service entrance conductors should be 2- 22mm2 + 1- 8.0mm2 copper cables. For protection, it recommends a 100A, 2-pole, 230V, 60Hz molded case circuit breaker rated at 18kAIC, which exceeds the maximum calculated short circuit current of 12227.45A.
