10. Historical Data:

Previous Consumption Data: Assume 200,000 kWh/year based on similar facilities

Calculation of Electrical Load:

Refrigeration Load:

Refrigeration Load (kW)=75 kW 2.5 (COP) = 30 kW

Refrigeration Load (kW)= 2.5 (COP) 75 kW =30 kW

Lighting Load:

Lighting Load (kW)=50 lights × 20 W/light =1 kW

Lighting Load (kW)=50 lights×20 W/light=1 kW

Fan Load: Fan Load (kW)=15 fans × 0.1 KW/fan = 1.5 kW

Fan Load (kW)=15 fans×0.1 kW/fan=1.5 kW

Heater Load: Heater Load (kW) =6 kW

Heater Load (kW)=6 kW

Motor Load:

Motor Load (kW) = 5 motors ×3 kW/motor =15 kW

Motor Load (kW)=5 motors×3 kW/motor=15 kW

Total Load Calculation:

Total Load (kW) =30(refrigeration)+1(lighting)+1.5(fans)+6(heaters)+15(motors)=53.5 kW

Total Load (kW)=30 (refrigeration)+1 (lighting)+1.5 (fans)+6 (heaters)+15 (motors)=53.5 kW

Considering Peak Load and Safety Factor:

Assume a safety factor of 1.2 to cover peak loads and startup currents:

Required Transformer Capacity (kW)=53.5kW×1.2=64.2kW

Required Transformer Capacity (kW)=53.5 kW×1.2=64.2 kW

Rounding up, a 75 kW transformer is suitable for this load, providing additional capacity for future
expansion and safety.
