Step 2Add Extra Load for Future Expansion0.1515%
11
FormulaTotal Load with Future Expansion (kW) = Total Connected Load x (1 + Future Expansion Percentage)
12
Total Load with Future Expansion (kW)195.5

Step 3Calculate the Maximum Demand LoadDF0.8
14
FormulaMaximum Demand (kW) = Total Load with Future Expansion (kW) x Demand Factor
15
Maximum Demand (kW)156.4P.F0.85
16
Step  4: Calculate  the  Maximum  Demand  in kVA
17
Formula: Maximum Demand (kVA) = Maximum Demand (kW) / Power Factor (PF)
18
Maximum Demand (kVA)184

Step  5: 
Determine  the  Transformer  Capacity with Efficiency Considerations
21
Formula: Required Transformer Capacity (kVA) = Maximum Demand (kVA) / Transformer Efficiency
22
Required Transformer Capacity (kVA)194
23
Step-6
Select  the  Appropriate  Transformer Size
24
Select the closest standard transformer size that can handle the calculated load.
25
The calculated transformer capacity is 194 kVA. The next standard size available is 250 kVA.
26
Thus, a 250 kVA transformer would be chosen.
