WIRE SIZING AND MCB SELECTION FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

IN THIS ARTICLE YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW ABOUT WIRE SIZING & MCB SELECTION FOR THREE-PHASE BUILDING


WE PRETTY MUCH SURE YOU WILL NOT HAVE PATIENCE OF SCROLLING 24 PAGES OF CALCULATION SO WE CUT TO SHORT. YOU CAN FIND FORMULA BELOW FOR CALCULATING SIZE OF MCB

LIVING ROOM CALCULATION

Led tubelight of 40 watts
Spot light = 4 nos
Ceiling fan = 2 nos
Tv = 1 nos
Utility socket = 3 nos .

WATTS CALCULATION FOR LIVING ROOM

MCB SELECTION
.
1 SOCKET OF 6 AMPS
Amps To Watts
Watts = Amps x Voltage (220 India)
Watts = 6 x 220 = 1320 Watts

2 SOCKETS OF 15 AMPS
Watts = Amps x Voltage (220 India)
Watts = 15 x 220 = 3300
Watts = 2 Nos of sockets x 1320 = 6600 Watts

AMPS CALCULATION FOR LIVING ROOM

As per the note, this building is fully connected with the three-phase system

WATTS CALCULATION FOR KITCHEN & DINING


MCB SELECTION

FRIDGE SOCKET
Fridge Wattage = 2400 Watts Per Day
So, we can use 15 amps socket which can withstand 3300 watts (220 x 15)
Fridge socket (15 Amps) Watts = 3300 Watts

2 SOCKETS OF 15 AMPS
Watts = Amps x Voltage (220 India)
Watts = 15 x 220 = 3300
Watts = 2 Nos of sockets x 1320 = 6600 Watts

  5. WHILE CALCULATING AMPS = WATT X DF/VOLT(1.732). WHAT/WHY THIS 1.732?

    1. In a 3-phase system the voltage between any two phases is 3 times higher than the voltage of an individual phase by a factor of 1.73 (square root of 3 to be exact). ... A 220V system with three 220V phases has a 220 * 1.73 = 380V cross-phase voltage.

    Your calculation is Confused. You have used 3-Phase formula to get the total current (Amps) on Single phase.
