    vi. WATER PUMP

    One 2 Hp Water Pump


    12 A x 230 V = 2760 VA

    Provide one 30 A branch circuit breaker

    Total Other Loads: = 16760 VA

    Application of Demand Factor @ 40%:

    16760 VA x 40% = 6704 VA

    TOTAL NET COMPUTED LOAD: = 41184 VA


    (E) CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

    USE: 3 – 15 A, 2 – WIRE BRANCH CIRCUIT


    16 – 20 A, 2 – WIRE BRANCH CIRCUIT
    2 – 30 A, 2 – WIRE BRANCH CIRCUIT
    1 – 40 A, 2 – WIRE BRANCH CIRCUIT

    (F) SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS

    TOTAL FULL – LOAD CURRENT


    [41184 + 0.25(2760)] / 230 = 182.06 A

    USE: 2 – 80 mm2 THHN Cu + 1 – 22 mm2 THHN Cu (G) IN 50 mmØ RIGID METAL CONDUIT

    (G) SERVICE EQUIPMENT

    i. MAX CURRENT RATING OF PROTECTIVE DEVICE

    INVERSE TIME CIRCUIT BREAKER


    [2.5(2760) + (41184-2760)] / 230 = 197.06 A

    ii. SERVICE EQUIPMENT RATING

    USE: 1 – 200 AT, 250 AF, 2 POLE, 240 V, 60 Hz, 22 kAIC,


    MOLDED CASE CIRCUIT BREAKER
    (H) VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION

    VD = kDI x √ (R2 + X2)

    Where:
    I = Line Current (Amperes)
    V = Distance of device from source (m)
    K = Constant (2 for 1Ø, 1.7732 for 3Ø)
    R = Line resistance
    X = Line reactance

    SERVICE ENTRANCE TO MDP

    TOTAL FULL- LOAD CURRENT = 182.06 A


    USE: 2 – 80 mm2 THHN Cu + 1 – 22 mm2 THHN Cu (G) IN 50 mmØ RIGID METAL CONDUIT

    L = 15 m
    R = 0.079, X = 0.052 or Z @85% = 0.094 STEEL CONDUIT

    VD = [2 x (15/305) x (182.06) x (0.094)] = 1.68 V

    VD% = [1.68 / 230] x 100% = 0.73%

    As per PEC, Article 2.15 FEEDERS, FPN No. 2: Conductors for feeders as defined in Article 1.1,
    sized to prevent voltage drop exceeding 3%at the farthest outlet of power, heating and lighting
    loads, or combinations of such loads, where maximum total voltage drop on both feeders and
    branch circuits to the farthest outlet does not exceed 5%, will provide reasonable efficiency of
    operation.

    (F) SHORT CIRCUIT CALCULATION


    UNITY AT INFINITE ASSUMPTIONS

    Use kVA base: T = 50 kVA


    34.5 kV / 230 V, 1Ø

    DISTRIBUTION TYPE TRANSFORMER

    %R = 0.75
    %X = 0.60
    %Z = 3.5

    (G) FAULT CALCULATIONS

    TRANSFORMER 1 PER UNIT IMPEDANCE

    ZT = 3.5 / 100 = 0.035 p.u.

    CABLE IMPEDANCE @ 80 mm2 IN STEEL CONDUIT

    2 2
    ZC MAIN = [L× (√(R +X ))] ×2 / (n×305)

    2 2
    ZC MAIN = [15× (√(0.079 +0.052 ))] ×2 / (1×305) = 0.009303 Ω

    CABLE IMPEDANCE PER UNIT

    ZC MAIN PU = ZC / ZBASE = ZC / (VL2 / VABASE) = (ZC x VABASE) / VL2

    ZC MAIN PU = = (0.009303 Ω x 50kVA) / 2302 = 0.00879 pu


    MOTOR LOAD IMPEDANCE:
    ZGM - LPB PU = ZGM x (kVABASE / 0.50 x 35.48)
    ZGM - LPB PU = 0.25 (50 / (0.50 x 35.48) = 0.7046 pu

    TOTAL CABLE AND MOTOR LOAD IMPEDANCE:


    Z GMT -LPB PU = ZC-MAIN + ZGM-LPB PU
    Z GMT -LPB PU = 0.00879 + 0.7046 = 0.71339 Ω

    @ FAULT CURRENT AT POINT 1

    ZA = ZT + ZC-MAIN
    ZA = 0.035 + 0.00879 = 0.04379 pu

    ZTH @ PT 1 = (ZA x ZGM-LPB) / (ZA + ZGM-LPB)


    ZTH @ PT 1 = (0.04379 x 0.71339) / (0.04379 + 0.71339) = 0.0416 pu

    FAULT CURRENT @ POINT 1

    ISC 1 (SYM) = (1.0 / 0.0416) x (50kVA / 230 =5,225.75 Amps

    Say 200 Amps Circuit Breaker should be rated not less than 5,000 AIC system for main. (22KAIC
    is used).
