 Total Full Load current of A.C =(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) / (Volt x P.F)

 Total Full Load current of A.C =(2x3000x0.8) / (230x0.8) =26 Amp ------ (N)

 Type of Load=Non Linear

 Starting KVA of A.C=1.6 X (KW / Starting P.F)

 Starting KVA of A.C =1.6 X (4.8 / 0.8)=9.6KVA ---------------------(2)

 Starting Current=160% of Full Load Current.

 Starting Current=1.6 X 26= 42 Amp-- (B)

Load Calculation-3:

 Full Load KW of Halogen Bulb=(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) /1000

 Full Load KW of Halogen Bulb=(2x500x0.8)/1000=0.8KW

 Full Load KVA of Halogen Bulb=KW / P.F

 Full Load KVA of Halogen Bulb=0.8 / 0.8=1KVA -----------(J)

 Full Load current of Halogen Bulb=(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) / (Volt x P.F)

 Full Load current of Halogen Bulb=(2x500x0.8) / (230x0.8) =4 Amp --- (O)

 Type of Load=Non Linear

 Starting KVA of Halogen Bulb =1.6 X (KW / Starting P.F) / Starting P.F

 Starting KVA of Halogen Bulb =1.6 X (0.8 / 0.8)=1.6KVA ---------------------(3)

 Starting Current=160% of Full Load Current.
 Starting Current=1.6 X 4= 7 Amp ---------------(C)

Load Calculation-4:

 Full Load KW of Motor=(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) /1000

 Full Load KW of Motor =(1x10000x0.8)/1000=8KW

 Full Load KVA of Motor =KW / P.F

 Full Load KVA of Motor =8 / 0.8=10KVA -----------(K)

 Full Load current of Motor =(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) / (Volt x P.F)

 Full Load current of Motor =(1x10000x0.8) / (230x0.8) =43 Amp --- (P)

 Type of Starter=Star-Delta

 Starting KVA of Motor =4 X (KW / Starting P.F)

 Starting KVA of Motor=4X (8 / 0.7)=45.7KVA -----------------------(4)

 Starting Current=4 X Full Load Current
 Starting Current=4 X 11.4 = 174 Amp --------------(D)

Load Calculation-5:

 Full Load KW of Motor=(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) /1000

 Full Load KW of Motor =(1x120000x0.8)/1000=96KW

 Full Load KVA of Motor =KW / P.F
 Full Load KVA of Motor =96 / 0.8=120KVA ----------- (L)

 Full Load current of Motor =(No X Watt X Diversity Factor) / (Volt x P.F)
 Full Load current of Motor =(1x120000x0.8) / (1.732x430x0.8) =167 Amp----(Q)

 Type of Starter=Auto Transformer

 Starting KVA of Motor =3 X (KW / Starting P.F)
 Starting KVA of Motor=3 X (96 / 0.7)=411.4KVA -------------- (5)
 Starting Current=3 X Full Load Current
 Starting Current=3 X 167 = 501 Amp--(E)

Total Load Calculation:

 Total Starting KVA = (1) + (2) +(3) + (4) + (5)

 Total Starting KVA
 =0.4+9.6+1.6+45.7+411.4 =468.7 KVA

 Total Starting Current = (A) + (B) +(C) + (D) + E

 Total Starting Current
 =2+42+7+174+501= 725 Amp
 Total Running KVA =(H)+(I)+(J)+(K)+(L)
 Total Running KVA =0.4+6+1+10+120= 137KVA
 Total Running Current=(M)+(N)+(O)+(P)+(Q)

 Total Running Current=2+26+4+43+167= 242 Amp

 Size of Diesel Generator= Starting KVA X Future Expansion X Average Use of Equipments

 Size of Diesel Generator=468 X 1.1 X 0.8
 Size of Diesel Generator= 412 KVA

Summary:

Total Starting KVA =468.7 KVA
 Total Starting Current =725 Amp
 Total Running KVA = 137KVA
 Total Running Current= 242 Amp
 Size of Diesel Generator= 412 KVA
