Calculate connected load, demand load, current, and monthly energy for homes, shops, offices, or warehouses using an editable appliance schedule and PDF.
Connected and diversified demand based on the entered demand factors.
Connected load9.04kW
Diversified demand7.38kW
Demand current35.65A
Estimated monthly energy1,189.2kWh
Preliminary main breaker40 A
Listed load types5
Calculation method
Demand = Σ(quantity × watts × demand factor); current follows the phase and power-factor equation.
Engineering notes
Demand factor estimates simultaneity; it does not reduce appliance or branch-circuit ratings.
Continuous and motor loads may require additional margins and starting-current analysis.
Safety approval
Do not use this estimate for installation before checking nameplate data, site conditions, short-circuit protection, and earthing.
This is a planning and comparison estimate. Final protection and conductor selection requires review by a licensed engineer or electrician, site-condition checks, manufacturer instructions, and the applicable code.
Calculation guide
Connected load versus demand load
Connected load is the sum of all equipment ratings. Demand load applies a factor to reflect realistic simultaneous operation. Demand factors must follow actual use and project requirements rather than arbitrary reduction.
The calculator converts demand power into single- or three-phase current using voltage and power factor, and estimates monthly energy from operating hours. Every row remains editable.
Create a preliminary load schedule
Choose a home, shop, office, or warehouse preset.
Edit quantity, watts, and daily hours.
Review the demand factor for each load.
Select phase, voltage, and power factor.
Use resulting current as a starting point for cable and protection.
