VI. Branch Circuit Overcurrent Protection

1. General Rule
- The rating or setting of an overcurrent device in any branch circuit must
not exceed the current-carrying capacity of the circuit conductors.
2. Specific Rules
1. An overcurrent device must be placed at the supply end of each
ungrounded conductor of the circuit to be protected.
2. An overcurrent device must not be placed in a permanently-grounded
conductor, except where the device simultaneously opens all conductors
of the circuit.
3. Where the device protecting a conductor has a rating or setting that also
provides protection for smaller conductors, there is no need to provide
protection at the point where the smaller conductors are tapped from
the larger conductor.
4. Non-motor-operated appliance branch circuit protective devices shall
not exceed 150% of the appliance rating.
5. Overcurrent devices must be located such that they are readily
accessible.

 Selection of Conductors

General Rule:
Branch circuit conductors shall have an ampacity of not
less than the rating of the branch circuit and not less than
the load to be served.

Ampacity – current that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions
of use without exceeding its temperature rating.

Conditions:
Ambient temp.
Neighboring conductors
Surrounding materials

33
 Selection of Conductors

 The type of insulation of conductors must be suited to the desired

operation.
 Where ambient temperature exceeds 30°C, the ampacities of the
conductors shall be derated according to correction factors given at the
bottom of each of the ampacity tables (Tables 3.10.1.16 to 3.10.1.21).
 Where more than three (3) conductors are used in a raceway or cable, the
conductor ampacities must be derated from the ampacity values to
compensate for increased heating due to reduced ventilation of an
enclosed group of closely-spaced conductors (see Note No.8).
 A 1% to 2% voltage drop is recommended for branch circuit conductors.

Larger of:
- 30m x 60m x 28 VA/sq.m. x 1.25 = 63,000 VA,
or
- 400 units x 150 VA/unit x 1.25 = 75,000 VA

No. of B.C. = ___75,000VA___

(20A) (230V)
= 16.3
therefore, use 17 B.C. (min)
Or 400 UNITS/17 = 23 outlets per BC (MAX)

57
b. Show Window

-15 m x 600 VA/m x 1.25 = 11,250 VA

No. of B.C. = 11,250 = 3 B.C.
230 x 20 (minimum)

c. Special Lighting Load

-100 units x 2.5 A/unit x 230 V x 1.25

= 71,875 VA
No. of B.C. = 71,875 = 16 B.C.
230 x 20 (minimum)

58
d. General Receptacles

- 200 units x 180 VA/unit x 1.25 = 45,000 VA

No. of B.C. = 36,000 x 1.25 = 10 B.C.

230 x 20 (minimum)

Single Family Dwelling Unit: (30 deg. Celsius ambient)
The dwelling has a floor area of 145 m2. It has the typical household
appliances including one 8-kW electric range, two 1-Hp room air-
conditioning unit, one 1.5 Hp room air-conditioning unit, and one 1-Hp
water pump. For this unit
a. Determine the minimum number of branch circuits and the size of
THW conductors to be used considering that:
 20-ampere BC will be used as much as possible.
 At least two 20-ampere BCs will be provided for general illumination.
 Individual BCs will supply power to the range, air-conditioning units,
and water pump
 The unit has one kitchen with a countertop
 The unit has laundry appliances.
 There are no receptacle outlets in any bathroom.
