B1. Preliminary load estimation (for total building based Archi. Drawings)
Typically, in office buildings two third from the maximum demand will be utilized for fulfill the power
requirement of the air conditioning system(as per the instructions given by the supervisor and previous
project experience-rule of thumb). In addition to the air conditioning system, few special load are available in
this builfing compare to the office builfding. They are medical gas system, CT scan machine, X-ray machine,
theaters and Insentive care units. Therefore,

Therefore the possibility to run the generator below 1/3rd load is minimum.This will ensure long life
time of engine of the generator.

Note: 1) Diversity/utilization is not applied in calculation of lighting, fan and other fixed loads. It was considered only for general socket outlets.
2) Three phase line current in each panel is taken by dividing single phase currents by 3 assuming three phase balanced load. But practically single phase currents can not be converted to balanced three phase
system. For this reason additional 10% is added for single phase currents.
3) 20% additional margin was added for the future expansions for all consumer units except the CUs for fixed loads and CU-LM & CU-WT (only 10% was added for those CUs).
4) For the socket out lets, following currents were taken. * 13A =1A, 13A dedicated Socket= 7A.
5) Rating of MCCBs/MCBs were selected based on design current & unexpected imbalance of single phase loads etc.
6) All Consumer Units are designed with spare breakers for future expansions.
