Total Load Calculated 35A
This figure is the amount of current required for what clarified on the table. We need to cater also for the sockets. An assumption is being made that for each socket approximately 1A of current would be needed. Due to the fact that all sockets would not be used simultaneously we cater for some of the sockets available.
No. of Sockets in Plan 19
No. of Socets used in Calculation 15
Therefore the Load Calculted for the sockets = 15 * 1A
= 15A
Therefore total Load Calculated for House = 15 + 35
= 50A
Using this information calculated, the size for the main cable would correspond to the 60A C/B. The capacity of load should have an excess amount than is needed. Regulation requires that there be a spare capacity of 20% of the needed load.
Therefore the size cable needed for this domestic dwelling would be 16mm
Total Load Calculated (from table) = 32...
