I have to summit a load calculation for a very small project. This is not my strong suit. I am installing a new 100 amp service for a water company at a vault that monitors flow. Heres what I have:
crt 1- 4 florescent lights ballast draw .78 amps
crt 2 - 20 amp circuit with 2 receptacles
crt 3 - Sump pump 3/4 hp single phase that draws 13.8 amps
crt 4 - 20 amp circuit with 2 receptacles.
The way I fiqured this was :
crt 1 - 4(.78)*120 volts= 375 VA * 120% (Continuous Load) = 450 VA
crts 2 and 4 - 180VA per receptacle * 2 + 360 VA
crt 3 - 13.8 amps * 120 Volts+ 1656 VA
Crts 1 and 3 total 2106 VA / 120 Volts = 17.55 Amps
Crts 2 and 4 total 720 VA / 120 Volts = 6.0 Amps
Is that it or do I have to total these and / by 220 Volts giving a total load of 11.78 Amps? What would the neutral load be 11.78 or 23.55 amps?
I know this seems like 1st year stuff and I am contractor but I haven't did any load calcs for years.
Thank you
