I am making a load letter. Does anyone know of a good software I could download in order to make a load letter? Thanks. Any pointers?

I love that movie....i got it. .....cant say the same for some of these ooooooold guys.

If your looking for a load calc form go to mike holts web sight and look under free stuff. It is a spead sheet and just click Enable editing and fill away....

I figured it was the letter from a GC saying that you were the only one that bid but you are too high. That's a load letter.

It is telling the PoCo what the new load will be on existing lines and transformers.. so they can upgrade if need be..

That's a lot better than what we deal with here. Usually it goes like this. Hello Mr. poco engineer, I have a customer which is building an addition on to his building, we are adding x, x and x. The existing electric service is large enough but we noticed that you have a 10 KVA transformer on this 320 amp service.

Well we have not seen a load increase, unless it gives problems we are not going to replace unless it is at the customer expense.

Month later primary fuse blows. Linemen installs larger fuse.
6 months later, utility installing a new 10 KVA transformer.

I hate to make an on topic post but I use electric pro for Android. It does resi and multi load calcs you can then email them to yourself. It also does a good job of everything else you coul possibly want including rotting my brain to the point I cant do a simple conduit fill without throwing my code book and grabbing my phone.

Most of the letters I type are kinda "loaded", I admit right off the bat......:whistling2:

Wish the transformer on our road would finally give up. It looks like a large rusty tin can and when we use our tankless water heater even the neighbours lights dim. Last I checked we lose close to ten volts a leg. But they say no problem.
