1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Electrical Load Calculation Form. This will open the document for you to begin completing it.
2. In the 'General Lighting Load' section, input the square footage of the area in the designated field. Multiply the square footage by 3 VA to calculate the total general lighting load.
3. For 'Small Appliance Circuits', indicate the number of circuits and ensure you enter a minimum of 2 circuits, each at 1,500 VA. In the 'Laundry' section, specify the VA for the laundry circuit.
4. Calculate the subtotal for small appliance circuits by adding the values from the previous two fields together.
5. Apply the demand factor in the next section by using the provided tables. Enter the value for the first 3,000 VA at 100% and calculate the remainder based on the established rates.
6. Document fixed appliances by entering the VA for each required appliance, such as garbage disposal, water heater, dishwasher, and others listed. Sum these values for the fixed appliances total.
7. In the dryer section, enter either 5,000 VA or the nameplate rating of the dryer, whichever is higher.
8. Fill out the cooking equipment section by listing the number of units and the associated VA for each. Calculate the total for this part.
9. For heating or air conditioning, calculate the total load for supplemental heating units, the AC unit, and heat pump, then determine the highest of these loads.
10. Record the largest motor load, typically associated with an AC compressor, applying the appropriate demand factor.
11. Identify and document other loads in the specified area, such as pool pumps and welders.
12. Finally, ensure all calculated values are accurate, then save your changes, and if necessary, download, print, or share the completed Electrical Load Calculation Form.
