Ground Floor
“The Philippine Electrical Code provides that 100 Watts be the maximum load per light outlet.”
Circuit Number 1:
P = 7 outlets X 100 W = 700 W
I = 700/230 = 3.04 A
Circuit Number 2:
P = 8 outlets X 100 W = 800 W
I = 800/230 = 3.48 A
“The National Electrical Code provides that ampacity of the connected load shall not exceed 80%
of the amperage capacity of the conductor and the fuse.” The maximum ampacity load of a 3.5 mm 2
copper wire and 15 AT breaker are 30 A and 15 A respectively. 80% of 30 A and 15 A are 24 A and 12 A
respectively. Therefore, for Circuit Number 1 to 6, the use of 3.5 mm2 wire and 15 AT breaker is safe.
Also, for 2 pieces of 3.5 mm2 wire, use 13 mm diameter of conduit pipe.
Section 3.3.1.2 of the Philippine Electrical Code specify 180 Watts load limit per convenience
outlet. It simply mean that, each convenience outlet, is considered to have a maximum load of not less
than 180 Watts per plug or gang.
Circuit Number 3:
P = 8 outlets X 2 gangs X 100 W = 2880 W
I = 2880/230 = 12.52 A
“The National Electrical Code provides that ampacity of the connected load shall not exceed 80%
of the amperage capacity of the conductor and the fuse.” The maximum ampacity load of a 3.5 mm2
copper wire and 20 AT breaker are 30 A and 20 A respectively. 80% of 30 A and 15 A are 24 A and 16 A
respectively. Therefore, for Circuit Number 7 to 3, the use of 3.5 mm2 wire and 20 AT breaker is safe.
Also, for 2 pieces of 3.5 mm2 wire, use 13 mm diameter of conduit pipe.
For Circuit Number 4 to 8: Other Loads
Article 6.7 of the Philippine Electrical Code provides that: “ Branch circuit conductor supplying a
motor shall have an ampacity not less than 125% of the full load current.”
Also, the code on branch circuit protection for a single motor provides that: “It shall be increased
by 250% of the full load current of the motor.”
Circuit Number 9 to 13
P = 1000 W
I = 1000/230 = 4.35 A
Calculation for the Ampacity of the Sub-Feeder Conductor and the Disconnecting Means
Total = 15112 W
Sub-Feeder:
Overcurrent Protection: Use 90 AT Breaker
Size of Wire: Use 2 – 30.0 mm2 THW conductor with 25 mm ф Rigid Steel Conduit
Second Floor
“The Philippine Electrical Code provides that 100 Watts be the maximum load per light outlet.”
Circuit Number 1:
P = 11 outlets X 100 W = 1100 W
I = 1100/230 = 4.78 A
Circuit Number 2:
P = 10 outlets X 100 W = 1000 W
I = 1000/230 = 4.35 A
Circuit Number 3:
P = 8 outlets X 2 gangs X 100 W = 2880 W
I = 2880/230 = 12.52 A
.
For Circuit Number 4 to 8: Other Loads
Circuit Number 9 to 13
P = 1000 W
I = 1000/230 = 4.35 A
Calculation for the Ampacity of the Sub-Feeder Conductor and the Disconnecting Means
Total = 15352 W
Calculation for the Ampacity of the Service Entrance Conductor and the Main Disconnecting Means
Total = 24464 W
Service Entrance:
Overcurrent Protection: Use 150 AT Breaker
Size of Wire: Use 2 – 50.0 mm2 THW conductor with 32 mm ф Rigid Steel Conduit
