Dwelling unit
➢means a structure or the part of a structure that is used as a home,
residence or sleeping place by one person who maintains a household
or by two or more persons who maintain a common household.
✓Town House

✓Low Cost Housing
✓Single – 4 Storey Residential Building
Single family dwelling unit
UP TO 150 SQUARE METERS FLOOR AREA
(NOT MORE THAN SIX CIRCUITS)

The dwelling has a floor area of 145 square meters. It has typical
household appliances including 1.5 HP room air-conditioning
unit.
Total load:
(a) general lighting and convenience receptacle load

• See Sec. 2.20.2.3 (Under Sec. 2.20.2 Branch Circuit Load Calculations)
2.20.2.3 Lighting Load for Specified Occupancies. A unit load of
not less than that specified in Table 2.20.2.3 for occupancies
specified therein shall constitute the minimum lighting load. The
floor area for each floor shall be calculated from the outside
dimensions of the building, dwelling unit, or other area involved.
For dwelling units, the calculated floor area shall not include open
porches, garages, or unused or unfinished spaces not adaptable for
future use.
Total load:
(a) general lighting and convenience receptacle load

• See Table 2.20.2.3


General Lighting Loads by Occupancy
Note: Table 2.20.2.3 includes the receptacle outlets of 20 amperes or less.
Total load:
(a) general lighting and convenience receptacle load

145 m2 x 24 VA/m2 = 3,480 VA


The computed load is:

3,480 VA ÷ 230 V = 15.13 A


∴ Use Two 20 AT CB for General Lighting
and Convenience Receptacle
One branch circuit of 20-ampere would be theoretically adequate,
however for flexibility and to allow for future needs, provide two 20-
ampere branch circuit for lighting and convenience outlet.
Total load:
(b) small appliances load

• Sec. 2.10.1.11(c)(1) (under Sec. 2.10.1.11 Branch Circuits Required)


(c) Dwelling Units.
(1) Small-Appliance Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of
branch circuits required by other parts of this section, two or more
20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits shall be provided for all
receptacle outlets specified by 2.10.3.3(b).
Total load:
(b) small appliances load

• Sec. 2.20.3.13(a) (under Sec. 2.20.3.13 Branch Circuits Required)


2.20.3.13 Small Appliance and Laundry Loads — Dwelling Unit.
(a) Small Appliance Circuit Load. In each dwelling unit, the load
shall be calculated at 1,500 volt-amperes for each 2-wire small
appliance branch circuit required by 2.10.1.11(c)(1). Where the
load is subdivided through two or more feeders, the calculated
load for each shall include not less than 1 500 volt-amperes for
each 2-wire smallappliance branch circuit. These loads shall be
permitted to be included with the general lighting load and
subjected to the demand factors provided in Table 2.20.3.3
Total load:
(b) small appliances load

Small Appliances @ 1,500 VA = 1,500 VA (Sec. 2.20.3.13(a))


The computed load is:

1,500 VA ÷ 230 V = 6.52 A


∴ Use One 20 AT CB for Small Appliances Load (Sec. 2.10.1.11(c)(1)
Total load:
(c) Laundry circuit

• Sec. 2.10.1.11(c)(2) (under Sec. 2.10.1.11 Branch Circuits Required)


(c) Dwelling Units.
(2) Laundry Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch
circuits required by other parts of this section, at least one
additional 20-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the
laundry receptacle outlet(s) required by 2.10.3.3(f). This circuit
shall have no other outlets.
Total load:
(c) Laundry circuit

• Sec. 2.20.3.13(b) (under Sec. 2.20.3.13 Branch Circuits Required)


2.20.3.13 Small Appliance and Laundry Loads — Dwelling Unit.
(b) Laundry Circuit Load. A load of not less than 1,500 volt-amperes
shall be included for each 2-wire laundry branch circuit installed as
required by 2.10.1.11(c)(2). This load shall be permitted to be
included with the general lighting load and subjected to the
demand factors provided in Table 2.20.3.3.

The computed load is:

1,500 VA ÷ 230 V = 6.52 A


∴ Use One 20 AT CB for Laundry Circuit (Sec. 2.10.1.11(c)(2))
Total load:
(D) Other load

Application of demand factor

• See Table 2.20.3.3


Lighting Load Demand Factor
Total load:
Application of demand factor

(a) General Lighting Load = 3,480 VA


(b) Small Appliances = 1,500 VA
(c) Laundry Circuit = 1,500 VA
Sub-Total = 6,480 VA
Application of Demand Factor: (See Table 2.20.3.3)
First 3,000 VA @100% DF = 3,000 VA
Remainder @ 35% DF
➢ (3,480 VA x 0.35) = 1,218 VA
(d) Other Load @100% DF = 2,300 VA
Total Net Computed Load = 6,518 VA
Circuit requirement:

(a) General Lighting Load – Use Two 20-Ampere Trip of


Circuit Breaker
(b) Small Appliances – Use One 20-Ampere Trip of
Circuit Breaker
(c) Laundry Circuit – Use One 20-Ampere Trip of Circuit
Breaker
(d) Other Load – Use One 20-Ampere Trip of
Circuit Breaker
∴ Use Five (5) 20-Ampere Trip for Branch Circuit Breaker
Service entrance conductor:

Formula:
Total Net Load + 25% (Highest-Rated
Motor)
Nominal Voltage
6,518 VA + 25% (2,300 VA) = 30.8 A
230 V
∴ Use Two (2) 14 mm2 TW wires
Note:
➢ See Section 2.20.3.11 for the conductor and overcurrent protection
ampere rating.
➢ See section 2.30.2.3(b) for minimum service entrance conductor.
Service Equipment:

Device
• See Section 4.30.4.2 and Table 4.30.4.2
1. Nontime Delay Fuse
[3,000 VA + 1,218 VA + 300%(2,300 VA) ÷ 230 V
= 48 Amperes
2. Inverse Time Circuit Breaker
[3,000 VA + 1,218 VA + 250%(2,300 VA) ÷ 230 V
= 43 Amperes
Service Equipment:

(b) Service Equipment Rating


∴ Use one (1) 60-ampere, 1PST, 250-volt
safety switch with one (1) 60-ampere fuse; or
use one 50-ampere trip, 1-pole, 240-volt
molded case circuit breaker.
