What is Load Study  and  Why it is required ?


 A Load study will

• Monitors, records, and compares electrical usage with the capacity of the system. \
• Includes on-site electrical measurements. Records watts, vars, volts, amps, & power factor
• A review of collected information, and a report detailing the findings and recommendations
• Provides a detailed look into the electrical usage at selected locations.
• Identifies actual electrical usage and calculates the reserve capacity available.
• Helps to avoid system overloading.
• Serves as a planning tool for future additions to the system.
• Reduce your electric bill by determining the location and size of power factor correction capacitors
• Aid in future planning and presentday to day operation by demonstrating how the electrical system will performduring normal and emergency operating conditions.
• Determine the proper transformer tap settingsso that the correct voltage will be present at motors and other loads during full load and no load conditions.
• Identify under utilized equipment to which will allow for future load growth.
• Identify overloaded equipment.
• Increase the distribution system operating efficiency and determine the most optimum operating configuration
