Provide Atleast Two (2) 15A Lighting Circuits: Single Family Dwelling Service Load Calculation General Lighting

This document calculates the electrical load and service requirements for a single family dwelling. It determines a total load of 17472 VA made up of lighting, air conditioning, appliances, and laundry. It then calculates the service entrance conductors as 2- 22mm2 + 1- 8.0mm2 copper cable. For protection, it selects a 100A, 2-pole, 230V, 60Hz circuit breaker rated for short circuit currents above 12227.45A.
