Maximum Demand
The purpose of maximum demand
The main purpose of calculating maximum demand is to select the
optimum (ideal) cable size to supply an installation having due
regard to the type and size of the installation, voltage drop and the
requirements of the consumer.

The Electricity Distribution Company requires load demands of


new or altered installations in order to provide:

 Sufficient power to meet the demand of the installation


 Metering and protective equipment requirements
 Number of phases required for the installation

Selected Cable Size


If the cable size selected is too small, the maximum demand could
exceed the current-carrying capacity of the cable and the cable will
heat up, melt and create a fire hazard.

If the cable size selected is too large, the overall cost to the wiring
of the installation becomes to costly.

However, it is safer to select a slightly larger size cable than a


smaller one.
How does maximum demand vary?
Maximum demand calculations vary depending on the type of
installation and the equipment used within the installation. There
are four types of electrical installation:

 Single domestic.
Eg. House, single living unit.
 Multiple domestic

2|P age
Eg. Block of living units, flats, townhouses.
 Residential Institutions
Eg. Hotels, motels, hostels, boarding houses, etc.
 Factories, shops & offices

Demand of the Installation


A shop or supermarket may have all their lights switched on for
twenty four hours per day, whereas in a single domestic
installation, only two or three lights may be operating at any one
time.

In a house, not all appliances, sockets outlets, etc. are used at the
one time. However, in a factory installation, there may be quite a
number of socket-outlets being used at the one time.

Therefore, the number of socket-outlets, lighting points and


appliance can be much greater for a given cable size for consumers
mains or sub-mains in a domestic installation than in a non-
domestic installation.

Multiple Domestic
Calculating individual load groups for the determination of
maximum demand for multiple domestic installations.

Example 1. (Multiple domestic installation)


Calculate the maximum demand of the following multiple domestic
installation comprising of 45 living units which are to be connected to a
400/230V MEN supply.

Eg. 45 ÷ 3 = 15 units per phase

Complete the remainder of the maximum demand calculation to determine


the total maximum demand current for the entire installation.

Maximum demand current values in all phases are to be evenly balanced.

Each individual living unit has the following identical loads installed within
them.

 15 – 230V 60 Watt Incandescent lamps


 2 – 230V 25 Watt exhaust fans mounted 2.5 metres above the floor
 12 – 230V 10A Double Socket-outlets
 1 – 230V 9kW Electric Stove
 1 – 230V 2.4kW permanently connected Space Heater
The following communal loads are not associated with the individual living
units:

 33 – 230V 100 Watt external path lights


 12 – 230V 10A Socket-outlets for washing machines in communal
laundry
Solution for Example 1 – Multiple domestic:

45 Living units ÷ 3 = 15 Living units per phase

Question 5.

Calculate the maximum demand of the following factory installation which


is to be connected to a three-phase 400/230V MEN supply.

Non air-conditioned portion of the factory:

66 – 230V triple 36W Fluorescent liminaires.


Each luminaire has a total ballast loss of 18Watts and a power
factor of 0.75

54 – 230V 10A Double Socket-outlets

24 – 230V 15A Socket-outlets

18 – Three-phase 400V 15A Socket-outlets

3 – 400V Motors each with a full load current rating of 14A per phase.
(Neglect power factor)

1 – 400V three-phase permanently connected storage water heater rated


at 9A per phase.

1 – 400V three-phase industrial Bain Maree food warmer rated at 8A


per phase

Air-conditioned portion of the factory:

12 – 10A Double socket-outlets

6 – 230V twin 36W Fluorescent luminaries.


Each with a total ballast loss of 12W per luminaire and a power
factor of 0.75

Current values in all phases are to be evenly balanced.
