about load calculations

11/17/2008 1:19 AM

Hi,

Please help me calculate the values of the following parameters: Max. Demand current,Max. demand power, power factor, demand factor, diversity factor, reactive power and apparent power given the following values;

R (phase)= 24.2 kW ; Total Connected Load= 73.2 kW

Y (phase)= 24.3 kW ; Supply: 240/380V 3phase 4 wire

B (phase)= 24.73 kW ; Connection: Y connection

Arrangement of KWHM in each phase is 3 phase 4 wire.

Kindly calculate also the values if my circuit is connected in Delta Connection for instance.

Thanks Very Much and More Power...

Hi,

this is not an examination or a test, I just want to compare the calculations I made because im new to three phase circuits and im not sure of my calculated values..The information that i will obtain will also serve as my reference for the further study of three phase ckts. I hope you can help me with that..

Thanks...

Ok, in fact, lots of guys could help you with it.

first, your condition is insaficent. so you should complement them.

amuse your work machine get power as point as you list, the load is above, the PF will be 1, its only ideal.

second, from delta to Y, the voltage will have /3 relation (1.732) so the voltage iwll be 220/380, if you use 240v , then line voltage will be 1.732x240, you can calculate yourself.

so check your condition then put out.

please see,

total connected load= 74.23 KW

Power factor (lighting (1 - 0.9)) , (other service (0.8))

Diversity factor (lighting = 90%)(receptacle=70%)(HVAC=80%)(water heater=80%)

Demand Load = Diversity factor X Connected Load

Max. Demand Current = Demand Load / (380 x 1.73)

with my regards

Connected load = Sum of all the loads connected to the system

demand load = sum of the loads in a system operating at the same time

demand factor = demand load / connected load

now consider that there are that there are various system connected to one source( substation p station )

Diversity factor = sum of individual maximun demand loads/ total maximum demand load to be supplied by the source

Apparent power KVA= Sqrt3 x V x I

Real power (kW) = Apparent power (KVA) x power factor(Cos PHi)

Reactive power (KVAR) = Apparent Power x Sin Phi

Phi = phase angle

this sould answer your questions bye
