Project No. Electrical Maximum Demand Existing Conditions

This document summarizes the existing and proposed electrical loads for a project. It finds that the existing transformer has a maximum demand of 240 amps and 195 amps of spare capacity. The proposed additional loads from an office, car park, and accommodation would be 146 amps, bringing the new maximum demand to 160 amps after applying a 110% safety factor. This is within the existing spare capacity. Calculations are provided assessing the expected loads from these additions according to Australian standards.
