LOAD (b)<br />

7 Heaters over 3 phases means one phase must supply 3 heaters<br />

Steady State Transient<br />

Hence maximum single phase load is: There is no transient condition to consider<br />

3 x 240 x 20 = 14.4kVA (Section 4512)<br />

1000<br />

From Section 4501, heaters can be assumed to<br />

run at unity power factor; hence load = 14.4kW<br />

LOAD (c)<br />

4 motors over 3 phases means that one phase must supply 2 motors<br />

Steady State Transient<br />

Hence maximum steady state phase load is For the one phase with 2 motors starting<br />

given below. simultaneously, from Section 4522:<br />

SECTION 4595<br />

January 1990<br />

Page 2<br />

From manufacturer’s data; 5 h.p. single phase D.O.L. Start Factor = 7.1<br />

motor typical performance figures are:<br />

Hence Start kVA = D.O.L. Start Factor x h.p. rating.<br />

Efficiency = 0.78 p.u. rating. = 7.1 x 5 x 2<br />

Power Factor = 0.8 p.f. lag<br />

= 71 kVA<br />

Steady State Load is:<br />

2 x 5 x 0.746 = 9.6kW (Section 4512)<br />

0.78<br />

LOAD (d)<br />

and 9.6 = 12.0kVA<br />

0.8<br />

5 welding sets across one pair of 415V lines given a ‘worst case’ of one pair of lines having to supply 2 welding sets.<br />

Steady State Transient<br />

Hence loading is: No transient condition details are given for<br />

consideration<br />

2 x 415 x 11 = 9.1kVA (Section 4512)<br />

1000<br />

and 9.1 x 0.4 = 3.6kW
