Hi everyone
Firstly, Could any one explain for which type of lamp the general lighting loads by occupancy table (220.3(b))has been derived.
secondly, if it is not the filament lamp but (say) Fluorescent lamp then which power factor has been used in the table (the corrected or the uncorrected)one.
Finally, if you are using fluorescent luminaires with individual power factor correction to 0.95, which power factor should you use in load estimation? is it the original PF ~ 0.5 or the corrected one ~0.95 or an average value in between (say) 0.7 and why?
Many Thanks,
Amged
