A businessman has a piece of land where they propose to build an apartment building with 4 units.
floors, with three apartments on each level. Each apartment would have 90, 110, and 150 m2. For each
the following loads have been planned for the department (9P)

LOAD Department Area


90 110 150
ELECTRIC COOKING - 14kW 18kW
WATER HEATER 4.5kW 4.5kW 4.5kW
CLOTHES DRYER 4 kW 4 kW 4 kW
HEATING 3 kW 4 kW 5 kW
AIR CONDITIONING 3.5 kW 3.5 kW 3.5 kW
Additionally, the following common use loads must be foreseen.

- Lighting of corridors and patios at 220V; 5 kW


- Garage lighting at 220V; 6 kW
- Laundry plant at 220V; 15 kW
- 20 kW for hot water tanks

It is requested to determine

- The minimum nominal current for each department


- The nominal current for the entire building.

Consider the supply at 220V three-phase.

Common use loads are considered continuous.
