Electrical Load Calculations & Reports
Overview

What is this service?

Preparation of accurate electrical load reports and calculations for the building, covering load estimation, protective breaker ratings, cable and conduit sizing, voltage drop and short-circuit calculations, phase balancing and power factor. The work is carried out in ETAP in accordance with national and international standards (NEC / IEC) and the Saudi Building Code.

Why do you need this service?

The foundation of any sound, safe electrical design.

Correctly rated breakers and cables prevent faults and fire risk.

A prerequisite for official approval of the electrical drawings.

Compliance with NEC/IEC and the Saudi code (SBC 401).

Frequently Asked Questions About This Service

Why is an electrical load report required?

Because it is the basis for the main breaker rating, cable sizing and the supply capacity requested from the electricity company — and the authorities rely on it when accepting the electrical drawing.

What happens if the load calculation is wrong?

Over-estimating inflates cable and connection costs for no benefit; under-estimating causes nuisance tripping, overheating boards and fire risk. Both are avoided by calculating properly before construction.

What does the voltage drop calculation mean?

It confirms the voltage reaching the most remote point on the network stays within permitted limits, because excessive drop reduces equipment efficiency and shortens its life. It is resolved by increasing the cable size or shortening the route.
