Common notes Tables 1, 2, & 3

1. Assess initial demand with safe diversity and anticipated demand in future, if any, as
applicable to individual circuits, for selection of cable size, breakers rating, etc.
2. Assess individual fault levels and select MCBs/MCCBs accordingly.
3. Refer to manufacturers catalogue and select MCBs/MCCBs, cable sizes, etc. for specific
applications, considering inductive/capacitive loads, laying conditions, voltage drop,
correction factors, etc.
4. Refer Section 4, for Regulations.
