NOTES:
TO GET THE ACU VA USE THE FF. AMPERE OF MOTOR BASED ON PEC:
.5 HP- 4.9AMP
.75 HP- 6.9AMP
1 HP- 8AMP
1.5 HP- 10 AMP
2 HP- 12 AMP
3HP- 17 AMP
VA= 230Vx8AMP=1840
WIRE (i.e. 1HP):
8AMP (FULL LOAD CURRENT OF 1HP AC BY PEC) X 125% (MULTIPLIER BY PEC)= 10 AMP (AMPACITY OF
CONDUCTOR); USE: 2-3.5 SQMM THHN
CIRCUIT BREAKER:
8AMP x 225% (MAXIMUM MULTIPLIER FOR MOTORS)= 18 AMP (AMPACITY OF BREAKER);
USE: 30 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER
TO CHECK:
20 AMP BREAKER @ 80% D.F.= 16AMP (NOT POSSIBLE)
30 AMP BREAKER @ 80% D.F.= 24AMP (SAFE FOR 18 AMP OF COMPUTED CB)

COMPUTATIONS
Circuit 1:
I = 1,200 VA/ 220 V = 5.45 Ampere
Wire = 5.45 / 80% = 6.82 Amperes , Use 2.0 sqmm TW wire or #14 AWG [1]
Circuit Breaker = Use 15 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1/2" diameter PVC conduit.
Circuit 2:
I = 900 VA/ 220 V = 4.09 Ampere
Wire = 4.09/ 80%= 5.11 Amperes , Use 2.0 sqmm TW wire or #14 AWG
Circuit Breaker = Use 15 A Circuit Breaker
Conduit = Use 1/2" diameter PVC conduit.

Circuit 4:
Note: since the breaker is 30 Ampere, we could increase the cable size to 5.5 sqmm
(rated 30 amps by NEC ) to maintain the coordination of cable and the circuit breaker.
*As per PEC article 4.30.14.2, with 230 volt system rating, 1.5hp air-conditioner unit is
equivalent to 10amperes (can be a basis if you have no knowledge of the ac unit power
rating)

*Based on Meralco Power Lab tests on different aircon and room size scenarios at
25°C night time use.
By inspection:
Main Feeder Current = (45.29 x 100% ) + (40.72 x 125%) = 96.19 Amperes [4]
note: 10 kAIC is just an assumed value, we need short circuit calculation to determine the right
specs of the OCPD to be used in this example
