If no occupancy type is indicated or known by the customer, the designer should assume that the
demand load will be at least 7.5 watts/ftZ and recommend that the customer wire out for a
connected load of 15 volt-amps/ft', for multiple-fuel buildings and 20 volt-amps/ft' for total electric
buildings. (See Section 3.6.4)
3.6.2
Demands and diversities of industrial loads vary widely depending on the type of process and
business operation. A fiill. understanding of the load and the related process equipnient must be
supplied by the customer on the. F-SPA foxn-i prior to any attempt in calculating demands.
Typically several meetings are needed with the customer's representatives, engineering consultants,
and facility engineers and managers in order to gain a sufficient and detailed understanding of the
process and operational needs of the customer to accurately estimate the customer's load.
3.6.2.1
Table 3.14 provides a general guideline to help estimate demands for some common industrial
equipment. These guidelines are provided here only as a reference. '1'he designer/engineer should
perform a detailed study and evaluate each project on a case-by-case basis. With industrial
customers, it is particularly important to determine the types and times of operation, in order to
determine the customer's load factor.
In order to properly apply the demand factors of Table 3,14, it is essential that the connected load
Information provided in the custonux's load schedule be properly broken down into the categories
listed. The designer should solicit the assistance of the custotnei's consulting electrical engineer in
reading and interpreting single line diagrams and panel schedules if necessary.

The best approach to estimating the demands of industrial loads is to break down the loads into
similar categories and apply the demand factors listed in Table 3.14 to each category. (See
Commercial Demand Method 2 in Section 3.6.4) The summation of the individual category
demands will be a rough estimate of the total demands. Again, a thorough understanding of the
customer's loads and operations is essential for proper design.
3.6.3
Commercial load demands have higher predictability than industrial loads due to similarity in load
behaviors and consistent application usage pattern. Table 3.15 lists some of the frequently
encountered loads/equipment and their demand factors for commercial applications.
In order to properly apply the demand factors of Table 3.15, it is essential that the connected load
information included in the customer's land schedule provided with the ESPA form be properly
broken down into the categories listed. The designer should solicit the assistance of the customer's
consulting electrical engineer in reading and interpreting single line diagrams and panel scliedules if
necessary.

To estimate lighting lead, if irot provided by the customer, multiply the total square footage by 3 watts per sq. 11,
1.0 for a single unit; 0.9 forlhw to five unlts; 0.8 for more than five units.
Elevators, large motors (more than 5 lip), welders, and )urge x-ray machines may need to be
separated from the other loads due to voltage dip or light flicker problems. The electrical demand
for motors up to 30 hp output rating can be estimated using Table 3.16 For motors larger than 30
hp, use kVA Demand -(0,74G) x (hp)/ 0.9 x (motor efficiency rating). Use 0.90 for motor

The following four methods shall be used in estimating demand loads for commercial customers:
Commercial Demand Method 1 attempts to estitnate demand based on the square foot area of the
commercial building using unit demands derived from a study of customers with similar operational
needs. Table 3.13 shows the volt-amps/fts unit demand that need to be converted to watts/fe in
order to be used with this method. (watts/ft2 = volt-amps per ft' x Power Factor)
Commercial Demand Method 2 requires a detailed breakdown of electrical plava submitted by the
customer into load categories and applying typical demand factors showa on'I'able 3.14 or Table
3.15 to account for diversity in the load, Again, the demand factors are derived from studying the
operations of commercial customers and are averages to be used with this method to diversify the
connected load information provided by the customer. If no other occupancy type is indicated by
the customer, the designer should assume that the demand load will be at least 7.5 watts/ft-2 and
recommend that the customer wire out for it connected load of at least 15 volt-amps/ftx. for
multiple-fuel buildings and 20 volt-amps/fe for total electric buildings (Also see Commercial
Demand Method 4).
,Since the above two methods are based on historical average demand,,;, the estimated demand is
expected to be within 25% of the actual demand.

If the methods had resulted in substantially different estimates requiring different transfornier sizes,
the results of Commercial Demand Method 3 would have been used. Commercial Demand Method
3 is generally the most reliable if the similar customer is a close match. In this case, it should be,
since it is another franchise operated by the same customer in the same climate zone. If a similar
customer is not available, use the following criteria to determine the demand load.
a.
R= Deinandk*mod,
Dematld,t,,,,d z
b.
If the above ratio is between 0.8 and 1.2 (0.8 < R < 1.2), use the load from the square footage demand
(Method 1)
c.
IT the ratio Is less than 0.8 or greater than 1.2 (R < 0.8 or R> 1.2), use the lesser value of
Method i or 2.
Again, the engtreer/designer should only use Method 4 when there Is not enough Information to use
Methods 1, 2, or 3 (or for a quick comparlson with the results of methods 1, 2, or 3).

T1uee-phase padtnount transformers sizes 1,000 through 2,500 kVA are supplied with loop-feed
loadbreak switches and weak link/partial range cunent-limiting fuses. This style transformer should
be used only as a part of a sub-feeder loop for looping through each unit in a multi transformer
installation.(Caution: Internal transformer fusing for 1,000 and 1,500 kVA sizes will not coordinate
with fuses smaller than 175E+ SM-4 Sic fuses. Internal transformer fusing for 2,000 and 2,500 kVA
sites will not coordinate with standard AE [uses. Fault protection for sub-feeder loops with 2,000 or
2,500 kVA internally fused txansformcrs must be achieved with relayed reclosers or other fault
interrupting breakers (See'lable 8.5),
Normally, three-phase padmount transformers sizes 1,000 through 2,500 kVA should be fed radially
and fused off of the main line feeder such that the transformer is fused at the riser pole or in a
padmounted Prffl, switchgear and three slugs are installed in place of the three internal weak fink
fiises,

When sizing the 1(D overhead transformers for 4-wire WYE connected 3 m secondary banks and
for 4-wire dosed and open UIM;t'A connected 3(P secondary banks, use the 1 ID overhead
transformer loading guidelines given in Table 3.9.

The general assumption for 208Y/120 volt and 480Y/277 volt services is that the customer's singlcphase load is equally balanced between all three phases of the transformer or the transformer bank
such that each phase of the 34D transformer or each single-phase transformer in the 3CD bank each
secs equal portions of the custoiner's single-phase and three-phase load. Use the following kVA for

following Table 3.20 for sizing the fighting and the two power transformers.
The 240/120 volt 4-wire closed delta connected secondary service connection is normally used for
240/120 volt customers who have a large amount of 3 m load (or 3 m motors larger than 40 hp) and
a smaller amount of I M load. The 4-wire closed delta connected secondary is not efficient for
serving large 14) loads because it does not make efficient use of the available transformer kVA. 4wire wpe connected secondaries (208Y/120 volts and 480Y/277 volts) are more efficient for serving
large 10 loads because the I m load can be wired so that it is distributed evenly between all three
phases.
