Lighting circuit load fields
Lighting circuit load record fields for Australian lighting worksheets and switchboard load schedules.
Lighting circuit fields for load estimates
Show lighting load record fields without selecting a circuit rating, protective device or final lighting design.
| Field | Purpose | Typical source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circuit or area reference | Identifies the lighting group being calculated. | Drawings, schedule or site record | Do not merge unrelated areas without a clear record. |
| Fitting wattage | Sets connected load per fitting. | Luminaire or driver datasheet | Use product data rather than generic assumptions. |
| Quantity | Counts fittings or drivers included in the group. | Lighting layout or take-off | Quantity changes require recalculation. |
| Driver or power-factor note | Keeps apparent-power context visible where needed. | Product data or design note | Do not infer power factor when it matters. |
| Phase or board allocation | Carries load into switchboard and balancing records. | Circuit schedule | Final allocation needs board review. |
- Use this table to prepare lighting load records.
- Circuit selection and protection remain project-specific design decisions.
Before lighting fields feed demand estimates
Capture fittings, control groups and circuit assumptions before carrying lighting loads into demand or cable calculations.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Show lighting load record fields without selecting a circuit rating, protective device or final lighting design. |
| How to use the source | Field table only; lighting load arithmetic lives on the lighting circuit load calculator. |
| Standards and project context | Australian 230/400 V and AS/NZS 3000 context noted for project review; verify current rules and project requirements. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Field model basis for lighting load fields
Keep the field model version, checked date and Australian project scope visible beside each lighting record.
