Load calculation occupies a pivotal position in the electrical design of civil buildings. This is not only related to the overall power demand of the building, but also closely related to the electricity consumption. In the process of complex load calculations, we often encounter technical terms such as equipment capacity, calculated load, need factor, and simultaneity factor. Behind these terms, there is a profound knowledge of electrical theory, and the mastery of their concepts and calculation methods is crucial for accurately calculating the load and rationally configuring the power equipment. The following article will tell you about several key terms in load calculation, and I hope that through the sorting of this article, we can help you better grasp these basic concepts in load calculation and lay a solid foundation for future electrical design work.
☛ What is Device Capacity?
☛ What is Compute Load?
☛ What is the need factor?
☛ What is the simultaneity factor?
