A panel schedule documents every circuit in a distribution board: load watts, voltage, phase, demand factor, and calculated amperage. FrameAI generates one automatically from your existing Excel file — applying NEC Article 220.11 demand factors and NEC 220.12 lighting demand tables so the output is code-compliant, not just a circuit list.
NEC 220.11 requires branch circuit loads to be computed from the load on each circuit. For lighting and appliance loads, NEC 220.12 references Table 220.12 for square-foot demand factors. FrameAI applies the correct factors and reports them per panel.
| Panel | Circuit | Load Type | Watts | Voltage | Demand Factor | Demand VA | Demand A |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDB-01 | C01 | Lighting | 2,400 W | 230 V | 1.00 | 2,400 VA | 10.4 A |
| MDB-01 | C02 | Socket Outlet | 3,600 W | 230 V | 0.80 | 2,880 VA | 12.5 A |
| MDB-01 | C03 | HVAC | 12,000 W | 400 V 3φ | 1.00 | 15,000 VA | 21.7 A |
After branch circuit demand, FrameAI sums each panel to produce a feeder demand figure. Largest motor at 125% per NEC 430.24, receptacle bank first 10 kVA at 100% + remainder at 50% per NEC 220.42.
| Panel | Lighting VA | Receptacle VA | Motor VA | Fixed VA | Total Demand VA | Feeder Amps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDB-01 | 2,400 | 6,880 | 9,000 | 7,200 | 25,480 VA | 36.8 A |
Panel schedule output includes: panel name, circuit ID, load type, connected watts, VA, current (A), demand factor applied, demand VA, demand amps, voltage drop %. Organized per board, ready to paste into your submittal.
