1.5 Diagrams. 2.3 Service Entrance Conductors:

Total Full Load Current: (See Sections 4.30.2.4 and
4.40.1.7)
Use two 14 mm2 TW wires.
Note 1: See Section 2.20.3.11 for the conductor and overcurrent
protection ampere rating.
Note 2: See Section 2.30.2.3(B) for minimum service entrance
Example D2 conductor.
Single Family Dwelling Unit, Up to 150 Square
Meters Floor Area. (Not More than Six Circuits) 2.4 Service Equipment:
The dwelling has a floor area of 145 sq. m. It has the (A) Maximum Current Rating of Protective Device,
typical household appliances including one 1.5-Hp with: (See Section 4.30.4.2 and Table 4.30.4.2)
room air-conditioning unit.
(1) Nontime Delay Fuse.
2.1 Total Load: [3 000 VA + 1 218 VA + 300% (2 300 VA)] ÷
(A) General Lighting and Convenience Receptacle 230 V = 48 Amperes
Load: [See Table 2.20.2.3] (2) Inverse Time Circuit Breaker.
Note: Table 2.20.1.3 includes the receptacle outlets of 20
amperes or less. [3 000 VA + 1 218 VA + 250% (2 300 VA)] ÷
145 m x 24 volt-amperes per m
2 2
= 3480 VA 230 V = 43 Amperes

The computed load is 3480/230 = 15 A. (B) Service Equipment Rating.

One branch circuit of 20-ampere would be Use one 60-ampere, 1PST, 250-volt safety switch with
theoretically adequate, however for flexibility and to one 60-ampere fuse; or use one 50-ampere trip, 1-pole,
allow for future needs provide two 20-ampere branch 240-volt molded case circuit breaker (see Section
circuits for lighting and convenience outlets. 2.40.1.6).
(B) Small Appliance Load: Note: See Section 2.40.1.4 for protection of conductors.
[See Sections 2.10.1.11(C)(1) and 2.20.3.13(A)]
One 20-ampere @ 1500 VA = 1500 VA 2.5 Diagrams:
Provide one 20-ampere small appliance
circuit.
(C) Laundry Circuit:
[See Sections 2.10.1.11(C)(2) and 2.20.3.13(B)]
One 20-ampere @ 1500 VA = 1500 VA
Provide one 20-ampere laundry circuit.
Sub-Total 6480 VA
Application of Demand Factors: (See Table 2.20.3.3)
First 3 000 volt-amperes @ 100% D.F. = 3000 VA
Remainder @ 35% D.F.
(3 480 VA x 0.35) = 1218 VA
(D) Other Load:
One 1.5-Hp room acu, 10 A x 230 V
= 2300 VA
@ 100% D.F.
Provide one 20-ampere room acu
circuit
Total Net Computed Load = 6518 VA
2.2 Circuit Requirement:
Use five 20-ampere 2-wire branch circuits.
