    The document calculates the load for 3 different circuits powering lighting, small appliances, and other appliances like a freezer. It determines that Circuit 1 powers 500W of lighting, Circuit 2 powers over 2800W of small appliances across 16 outlets, and Circuit 3 powers a 1000W freezer. Adding up all the loads, the total current draw is calculated to be 19.04 amps, but accounting for a safety factor it is rounded up to 15.232 amps as the required wire size.

    Load Calculations:

    A. Circuit-1 Lighting Load


    10 outlets X 50 watts = 500 watts
    500 watts/230 volts = 2.17 amperes

    B. Circuit-2 Small Appliance Load

    8 outlets X 2 plug = 16 pieces

    16 X 180 watts = 2880 watts

    2880 watts/230 volts = 12.52 amperes

    C. Circuit-3 Other Load


    Freezer at 1 kw = 1000 watts
    1000 watts/230 volts = 4.34 amperes

    D. Total Load

    Total Load = 500w + 2880w + 1000w


    230 volts
    = 19.04 amperes
    =19.04 X .80 = 15. 232 amperes
