Electrical Load Assesment - Total demand

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hi everyone,

Can you guys make some light into my head, please?

I have gotten very confused on how to do a load assessment for, let's say a building, that would have single-phase consumers as well as three-phase consumers. For this purpose and for easy understanding let's say we have sockets on single phases: L1 - 10A, L2 -12A, L3 -10A, and a three phase consumer of 30A. Can somebody show me a calc for getting the total demand in KVA please?

    Thank you so much, got confused at work since doing so i have been told I am wrong. Honestly drove me mad. Any chance you could explain why 120kVA (three times the load of the heviest phase) would be necessary if the phases are not balanced please?
