Summing Up the Mix Connected Load

12/13/2010 6:28 AM

I want to calculate the connected load of my workshop where;

  1. Three phase motor 1.5Kw 01
  2. Three phase motor 05Kw 01
  3. Single phase motor 1.5Kw 01
  4. Light fixture single phase 250W 09
  5. Fan single phase 100W 06

I am confused that how to calculate the net connected load because the power of three phase motors can be sum up but what about single phase lighting and other load? Do I just sum up the power of all loads? For example, in this case, the net connected load is 1.5 + 5 + 1.5 + 2.25 + 0.6 = 10.85Kw. Am I right or wrong? Sorry for my lack of basic knowledge.

Yup- power is power, no matter how many phases.

Right. But load shall be distributed evenly in each phase.

This is Khalid Soomro, working in oil and gas development company Pakistan. Total load of the work shop is P=10.85KW. I suggest that you should (if u have three phase connection) distribute whole load approximate equally on all phases.

Did you consider diversity and load factors?.
