An eighteen-unit multifamily dwelling contains the following appliances in each unit : a 1-kVA, 115-volt dishwasher, a 1/3 hp, 115-volt in-sink waste disposer and a 4500-watt, 230 volt water heater. Using the standard method, what is the service neutral load contribution, in volt-amperes , for these appliances ? ( Assume water heater watt rating equivalent to volt-ampere )
Expert Solution
Step 1

Service neutral load contribution-

The amount of power required by the combination of multiple equipment in a multiple units is called as service neutral load contribution. It is generally a calculation of average load and its requirement.
