1 Technical Assignment #2 Electrical Existing Conditions Report

2 SYSTEM TYPE: THIS IS A RADIAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BECAUSE ALL PANELS, THE MOTOR CONTROL CENTER AND THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM RADIATE FROM A CENTRAL MAIN SWITCHBOARD BUILDING UTILIZATION VOLTAGE: INCOMING ELECTRICAL SERVICE IS AT 13.8 kv, WHICH IS THEN CONVERTED INTO 480Y/277 VOLTS FOR HID LIGHTING, FLUORESCENT LIGHTING, AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. THE POWER IS LATER TRANSFORMED INTO 208Y/120 VOLTS FOR RECEPTACLES AND INCANDESCENT LIGHTING. INCOMING TRANSFORMER CONFIGURATION: INCOMING VOLTAGE IS CONVERTED FROM 13.8 KV TO 480Y/277V BY MEANS OF A TRANSFORMER WITH A DELTA-Y CONFIGURATION. PLEASE SEE INFORMATION BELOW AND THE TRANSFORMER SCHEDULE FOR MORE TRANSFORMER INFORMATION. EMERGENCY POWER: THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY GENERATORS FOR THIS BUILDING BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF ITS USE. A RECREATION CENTER DOES NOT WARRANT THE NEED FOR USE OF EMERGENCY POWER. SEE EMERGENCY LIGHTING INFORMATION BELOW.

3 RECEPTACLE LOADS: LOWER LEVEL: 6 RECEPTACLES*(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = 1080 VA FIRST FLOOR POOL AREA: 107 RECEPTACLES *(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = VA FIRST FLOOR GYM AREA: 54 RECEPTACLES *(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = 9720 VA FIRST FLOOR REMAINING AREAS: 126 RECEPTACLES *(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = VA MEZZANINE LEVEL: 66 RECEPTACLES *(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = VA ROOF: 13 RECEPTACLES*(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = 2340 VA CONCESSION BUILDING: 20 RECEPTACLES*(180 VA PER RECEPTACLE) = 3600 VA TOTAL RECEPTACLE LOAD: VA

4 AS PER NEC CODE, DEMAND FOR THE FIRST 10,000 VA IN RECEPTACLES IS 100% (DF=1) AND EVERYTHING AFTER THAT IS AT 50% (DF=0.50) SO: VA VA = VA 10000*(1.00) = VA 62180*(0.5) = VA VA RECEPTACLE LOAD MECHANICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS LOADS: FROM EQPT AND PANELBOARD SCHEDULES: KVA LIGHTING DEMAND LOAD: PREDICTED: NEC 2002 TABLE 220.3(A) FOR A CLUB: SQUARE FEET * (2.0 VA/SQ. FT.) = VA ACTUAL LOAD (PANELBOARDS): KVA *USE THE LARGER OF THE TWO LIGHTING LOADS TOTAL LOAD = LTG + MECH. + RECEPT. = KVA

5 TOTAL LOAD = KVA CALCULATION OF SECONDARY CURRENT: I S = (MAIN TRANSFORMER KVA)*1000 / *BUILDING UTILIZATION VOLTAGE = = (1000)*(1000) / (1.732*480) = 1203 AMPS MINIMUM AMPACITY = 1.25 * 1203 AMPS = 1504 AMPS A 2000 AMP MAIN BUS IS SELECTED TO HANDLE 1504 AMPS LOAD CURRENT: (712.29)*1000 / (480) = 1484 AMPS ***A 2000 AMP MAIN SWITCH AND BUS ARE SIZED ADEQUATELY
