Electrical Load Calculator

Estimate the connected electrical load, maximum demand and recommended transformer/DG size for a building from area and load density.

Result

MetricValue
Notes & assumptions: Connected load (kVA) = area × VA/sq ft ÷ 1000. Maximum demand = connected × diversity%. Transformer is the next standard size above demand ÷ 0.8 loading. Detailed load schedules override these thumb rules.

FAQ

What is load density for a hospital?

Hospitals typically design around 4–6 VA per sq ft, higher than offices (~3) due to HVAC, imaging and 24×7 loads.

What is diversity factor?

Not all loads run at once; the diversity factor (often 60–80%) reduces connected load to a realistic maximum demand.

How do I size the transformer?

Size for maximum demand at ~80% loading, then pick the next standard rating; add DG backup for essential loads.
