In this example, a lighting plan contains a panelboard called LP-3 that is connected to twenty circuits.
The lighting demand factor has been specified as calculated by load with the total calculation at one percentage. If the Load is greater than 10000VA, the demand factor is 80%.
The Lighting demand factor has been assigned to the corresponding lighting load classification type.
The lighting load classification type has been assigned to LP-3’s connector in the Family Editor. See Specifying a Load Classification for an Electrical Connector.
Based on the specified demand factor (calculation method for lighting) and the loads from the connected circuits, the panel schedule for LP-3 displays as shown. Panel schedules are displayed in the following sections:
- 1 - Header
- 2 - Circuit table
- 3 - Load summary
The Load Summary displays the estimated demand. Note the connected load and the demand factor percentage which determine this calculation.
