ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Non-US Electrical Systems & Trades load diversity factor for car parking lift

renosteinke Said:
One wild guess might be to have a 30 amp circuit feeding a cluster of 5 lifts, with each lift fused (time delay) at 10 amps.
As for the size of the service feeding the shop, I'd be happy with the usual load calculation method, relying on the square footage allownace for 'general lighting.'

Is that OK?
1) a 30 amp circuit feeding a cluster of 5 lifts, with each lift fused (time delay) at 10 amps.

and what's the feeder breaker size?
