F.

Determine the Size of the Main Feeder

1. Solve for the Total connected Load on 4 dwelling units at 11400 watts each. Multiply:

11400 watts x 4 = 45600 watts

2. Refer to Table. For 4 dwelling units apply 45% demand factor. Multiply:

45600 watts x .45 = 20520 watts

3. Solve for the line current:

I = 20520 watts/230 volts = 89.22 A

4. Determine the Size of the Conductor wire. Refer to Table. For 89.22 A, use 2- 50 mm2 TW copper wire
or 2- 38 mm2 THW copper wire.

COMMENT:

IT will be noted in Table, that the 89.22 A as computed does not exceed 80 % of the 120 allowable
ampacity of 50 mm2 TW copper wire or 125 ampacity of 38 mm2 THW copper wire. Therefore, any one of
these two types of wire could be used for main feeder.

5. Find the size of conduit pipe. Refer to Table. Use 38 nn diameter RSC or IMT pipe

6. Find the size or rating of the over-current protection. Refer to Table. Use 125 A safety switch,250 volts,
2 pole.
