The document provides instructions for designing an electrical plan for a home. It includes steps to:
1. Use the floor plan to guide lighting design and calculate lighting needs for rooms based on area and wattage of bulbs.
2. Design 5 lighting circuits based on calculated wattage and amperage needs, selecting appropriately sized copper wires and conduits.
3. Include additional circuits for small appliances, electric stove, washing machine, and air conditioning, again selecting properly sized copper wires.
4. Start the service entrance wires at #8 AWG copper wire.

b. Solve the Lighting Design. 1. For Living Area: a. Get the area from the floor of the living area or sala. Example: 1. 3m x 4m = 12 sq.m. 2. Start using 20 watts LED Bulb (x 90 lumens, standard commercial available)
20 x 90 = 1800 lumens 3. Solve for the number of bulbs,
12 x 500 (NEC) = 6,000 lumens
6,000/1800 = 3.33 bulbs
Change 20 watts led Bulb to 18 watts
6,000/(18x90) = 3.7 bulbs
Change 18 watts to 13 watts
6,000/(13x90) = 5.12 bulbs say 5 bulbs
Available LED Bulbs: 20 watts, 18 watts, 15 watts, 13 watts, 9 watts, 7 watts, 5
watts Note: For Living Area, Dining, & Kitchen, always start at 20 watts LED Bulb For Rooms, always start at 15 watts LED Bulb For Bathroom, always start at 9 watts LED Bulb
Living area, Dining, Kitchen – always at 20 watts LED Bulb
2. For Room 1; Area = 2m x 3 m = 6 sq.m. No. of Bulbs = (6x500)/(15x90) = 2.22 bulbs say 2 bulbs = 0.22 No. of Bulbs = (6x500)/(18x90) = 1.85 bulbs say 2 bulbs = 0.15 ( ) B. Lighting Circuit – (Circuit 1) 5 bulbs @ 13 watts = 65 watts 2 bulbs @ 18 watts = 36 watts Total = 101 watts
1. Total Current = 101 watts/220 volts = 0.46 Amp.
2. Use: 2 pcs-#14 AWG THW copper wire for C-1 3. Conduit Pipe Use: 13mm Ø Conduit Pipe 4. Fuse Use: 15 Amp Fuse C. Small Appliances (Circuit – 2) Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-2 D. Electric Stove @ 1.2 Kw (Circuit-3) 1,200/220 = 5.45 Amp. Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-3 E. Washing Machine (Circuit -4) Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-4 F. Aircon (Circuit -5) Use: 2 pcs - #12 AWG THW copper wire for C-5 II. Service Entrance (Always remember, start at #8 AWG THW copper wire for Service Entrance.) III. Electrical Plan
