Load calculations
Load calculations determine the amount of electrical power needed to operate a building’s systems safely and efficiently. They consider factors such as lighting, appliances, heating, cooling, and other electrical devices to ensure the electrical system is adequately sized. Accurate calculations prevent overloads, reduce energy waste, and improve safety. Essentially, it’s like figuring out how much fuel a vehicle needs—making sure the system can handle its power demands without being too large or too small for the actual usage. Proper load calculations are vital for designing reliable and efficient electrical systems.
