Commercial Electricity

[silentsky_042]

Good day everyone, I'm not so sure if this will fit in this section. (Sorry mod if this is the wrong place, just delete if so)

If anyone could just give me some info about commercial electricity...

• How is our payment being computed
• What is Demand Load?
• What is PF?
• Load balancing
• etc...

PS.....this not an assignment....I just want to understand in simpler way.....internet is so vague

ako pud ganahan ko makabaw. himbong langko last year cge ko gamit ug aircon 3000+ ra ako mabayran wala pa jud pahuway amo ref. Pero karon wala najud aircon. ref usahay ra paandaron niabot na nuon ug 4700 naunsa naman tawn ni oi dili lang kay amo hasta mga silingan nahimbong.

if you want to save...
Focus lang sa kW consumed in a billing cycle.
If you want it lower in the next cycle, try to minimize using your favorite electrical appliance. Like, if you watch noon time TV programs, try not watching it for a month by not turning ON your TV during lunchtime. 2 to 3 hours sacrifice, no TV on lunchtime, will have great effect on your electric bill.

Demand Factor: murag mao ni ang gi set sa electric company, approved by the ERC. Because it is a factor, I believe it is the ratio between the commonly used load and the total load.
ex: if you have a 100watts always used load or always on load and you divide that with all your load (including seldom used load)...say total is 1000watts...then your demand factor is 0.1. If imong demand factor is 1...then all your loads are used continously...example tingali ani ang mga load sa telecom companies....dili man na palungon ang ilang load at any given time of the day, week, month, year.

Power factor: it is still a ratio. A ratio between true power and apparent power.
para sayon ra sabton... if you have a pure resistive load...approaching to 1 na ang PF niya.
if daghan ka ug motor loads...ang PF nimo kay ubos kaayo tingali 0.8
Alkanse ka if ubos ang imong PF kay you are consuming or charged/billed with power that is not really what you are using/consuming...or daku ang imong apparent power.

Load Balancing: this applies to 3phase circuits only.
if single phase ra ang imong linya..i.e., duha ra ka linya...you have nothing to balance.
if three phase...i.e., tulo ka linya gikan sa VECO...then you have to balance your load para dili kulatado or dili daku ug "power load" ang usa ra ka line. severely unbalanced lines defeats the purpose of having a three-phase service from your electrical company.

ako ra ning opinyon hap.
correct me if sayop.
hehehe

IMBAHA oie ! nalimot naman ko aning PF sa among EE320 lec.

technical man ni...ee ko, pero di ko mo attempt explain ani diri...ako mga students maglisod man ganig sabot anang pf until midterm na sa alternating current I class

"How is our payment being computed"
gihanay man na sa bill, ang problima giunsa nila pagkuha anang mga figures ilang gigamit

pananglitan, kanang system loss...unsa man explanation ani giunsa pag determine? mora man nig figure nga gibutang diha aron sigura naa ginansya
