correction factor for discharge lighting

[p11jor]

hi guys, just a quick calc here:-

4 X 400w rated lighting, is my calculation for this

1600/230 = 6.9amp X correction factor

Type C circuit Breaker.


thanks

yes. the correction factor is 1.8, unless you have more specific info from the manufacturer

x each lamp wattage by 1.8....then add each load together...then do your demand calcs as normal..basically as above...
