FEEDER DEMAND FACTORS FOR GENERAL

LIGHTING LOAD AND SMALL APPLIANCE LOAD

(Table 2.1)
*The demand factors of this table shall not apply to

the computed load of feeders to areas in hospitals,

hotels, and motels where the entire lighting is likely

to be used at one time, as in operating rooms,

ballrooms, or dining rooms.

COOKING APPLIANCES OVER 1.75 KW RATING.
COLUMN A TO BE USED IN ALL CASES EXCEPT
AS
OTHERWISE PERMITTED ON NOTE 3 BELOW
(Table 4.1)

Note: Over 12 kW through 27 kW ranges all of same

rating. For ranges individually rated more than 12
kW but not more than 27 kW, the maximum demand
in Column A shall be increased 5 % for each
additional kW of rating of major fraction thereof by
which the rating of individual ranges exceeds 12 kW.

Note 2: Over 8.75 kW through 27 kW ranges of

unequal ratings. For ranges individually rated more
than 8.75 kW and of different ratings but no
exceeding 27 kW, an average of value of rating shall
be computed by adding together the ratings of all
ranges to obtain the total connected load (using 12
kW for any range rated less than 12 kW) and dividing
by the total number of ranges; and then the
maximum demand in column A shall be increased 5
percent for each kW or major fraction thereof by
which this average value exceeds 12 kW.

Note 3: Over 1.75 kW through 8.75 kW. In lieu of the

method provided in column A, it shall be permissible
to add the nameplate ratings of all ranges rated more
than 1.75 kW but not more than 8.75 kW and
multiply the sum by the demand factors specified in
column B or C for the given numbers of appliances.

Note 4: Branch circuit load. It shall be permissible to

compute the branch-circuit load for one range In
accordance with Table 3.3.2.10. the branch-circuit
load for one wall-mounted oven or one counter-
mounted cooking unit shall be the nameplate rating
of the appliance. The branch-circuit load for a
counter-mounted cooking unit and not more than
two wall-mounted ovens, all supplied from a single
branch circuit and located in the same room, shall be
computed by adding the nameplate ratings of the
individual appliances and treating this total as
equivalent to one range.

Note 5: This table also applies to household cooking

appliances rated over 1.75 kW and used in
instructional programs.

EXCEPTIONS (based on PEC requirements)

1. The small appliance appliance branch circuit required in a
dwelling unit shall supply only the receptacle outlets specified in
that section.
(b.) 25- and 30-Ampere Branch Circuits. A 25- or 30-ampere
branch circuit shall be permitted to supply fixed lightning units
with heavy-duty lamp holders in other dwelling unit(s) or
appliances shall not exceed 80 percent of the branch-circuit
ampere rating.
(c.) 40- and 50-Ampere Branch Circuits. A 40- and 50-ampere
branch circuit shall be permitted to supply fixed lighting units
with heavy-duty lamp holders or infrared heating units in other
than dwelling units or cooking appliances that are fastened in
place in any occupancy.

Receptacle Outlets required

(a) General. where flexible cords are used.

2. where flexible cords are specifically permitted to be

permanently connected, and are so connected in boxes or fittings
approved for the purpose, it shall be acceptable to omit
receptacles on such equipment.

(b) Dwelling units. In every kitchen, family room, dining room,

breakfast room, living room, parlor, library, den, sun room,
bedroom, recreation room, or similar rooms, receptacle outlets
shall be installed so that no point along the floor kine in any wall
space is more than 1800 mm, measured horizontally, from an
outlet in that space, including any wall space 600 mm or more in
width and the wall space occupied by sliding panels in exterior
walls. The wall space afforded by fixed room dividers, such a free-
standing bar type counters, shall be included in the 2 meter
measurement.

In kitchen and dining areas, a receptacle outlet shall be installed

at each counter space wider than 300 mm. Counter top spaces
separated by range tops, refrigerators, or sinks shall be
considered as separate counter top spaces. Receptacles rendered
inaccessible by appliances fastened in place or appliances
occpying dedicated space shall not be considered as these
requires outlets.

Receptacles outlets shall, in so far as practicable, be spaced equal

distances apart. Receptacle outlets in floors shall not be counted
as part of the required number of receptacle outlet unless located
close to the wall.

At least one wall receptacle shall be installed in the bathroom

adjacent in the basin location.

For a one-family dwelling, at least one receptacle outlet shall be

installed outdoors.

For a one-family dwelling, at least one receptacle outlet in

addition to any provided for laundry equipment, shall be installed
in each basement and in each attached garage.

Outlets in other section of the dwelling unit for special appliances,

such as laundry equipment, shall be placed within 1800 mm of
the intended location of the appliance.

At least one receptacle outlet shall be installed for the laundry.

3. In a dwelling unit that is an apartment or living area in a

multifamily dwelling where laundry facilities are provided on the
premises that are available to all building occupancies, a laundry
receptacle shall not be required.

4.In other than one-family dwellings where laundry facilities are

not be installed or permitted, a laundry receptacle shall not be
required.

As used in this section, a "wall space" shall be considered a wall

unbroken along the floor line by doorways, fireplaces, and similar
openings. Each wall space 600 or more mm wide shall be treated
individually and separately from the other wall spaces within the
room. A wall space shall be permitted to include two or more
walls or a room(around corners) where unbroken at the floor
line.

The receptacle outlets required by this section shall be in addition

to any receptacle that is part of any lighting fixture or appliances,
located within cabinet or cupboard, or located over 1600 mm
above the floor.

5. Permanently installed electric baseboard heaters equipped

with factory installed receptacle outlets, or outlets provided as a
separate assembly by the manufacture, shall be permitted as the
required outlet or outlets for the wall space utilized by such
permanently installed heaters. Such receptacle outlets shall not
be connected to the heater circuits.

Lighting Outlets Required:

entrance conductors.

(a) For specified circuits. The feeder conductors shall not be

smaller than 5.5 square mm where the load supplied consists of
the following number and types of circuits: (1) Two or more 2-
wire branch circuits supplied by a 2-wire feeder. (2) MOre than
two 2-wire branch circuits supplied by a 3-wire feeder (3) Two or
more 3-wire branch circuits supplied by a 3-wire feeder

(b) ampacity relative to service entrance conductors. The feeder

conductor ampacity shall not be lower than that of the service-
entrance conductors 14 square mm or smaller.
(c) Overload feeders. Where at any time feeder conductors are or
will be overloaded the feeder conductors shall be increased in
ampacity to accommodate the ctual load served.

OPTIONAL CALCULATION - MULTIFAMILY DWELLING

(a) It shall be permissible to compute the feeder or service load of
a multifamily dwelling where all the following conditions are
met:

(1) No dwelling unit is supplied by more than one feeder

(2) Each dwelling unit is equipped with electric cooking
equipment.

EXCEPTION: When the computed load for multifamily dwelling

under the section without cooking load exceeds that computed
under this section for the identical load plus electric cooking
exceeds that computed for the identical load plus the electric
cooking, the lesser of the loads may be used.

(3) Each dwelling unit is equipped with either electric space

heating or air conditioning or both

Feeders and service-entrance conductors whose demand load is

determined by this optional calculation shall be permitted to have
the neutral load determined by this section

the connected load to which the demand factors apply shall

include the following:

and each laundry branch circuit

(2) 24 watts per square meter for general lighting and general use
receptacles

(3) The nameplate rating of all appliances that are fastened in

place, permanently connected or located to be on a specific
circuit, ranges, wall mounted ovens, counter-mounted cooking
units, clothes dryer, water heaters and space heaters

If water heater elements are so interlocked that all elements

cannot be used at the same time, the maximum possible load shall
be considered the nameplate load.

(4)The nameplate A or kVA rating of all motors and of all low-

power factor load.

(5) The larger of the air conditioning load or the space heating
load.
