System Capacity – load Calculator
220.80 Optional Feeder and Service Load Calculations (RESIDENTIAL)
SECTION CAN BE USED FOR DWELLING UNITS
Served by a single feeder conductor (generator)
• 120/240 volt or 208Y/120 volt service
• Ampacity of 100 amps or greater the calculated load will be the result of adding
• 220.82 (B) General Loads, and
• 220.82 (C) Heating and Air-Conditioning Load
• Calculated neutral load determined by 220.61 . (Additional 70% demand factor can be
taken for cooking appliances and dryers when tables 220.54 and/or 220.55 are used)
GENERAL LOADS
General Lighting and General-Use Receptacles
• Calculate at 3 VA per square foot
• Use exterior dimensions of the home to calculate square footage – do not include
open porches, garages or unused or unfinished spaces not adaptable for future use.
• Add 20-amp small appliance & laundry circuits @ 1500 VA each
Calculate the following loads at 100% of nameplate rating
• Appliances fastened in place, permanently connected or located on a specific circuit
• Ranges, wall-mounted ovens, counter-mounted cooking units (Tables 220.54 & 220.55)
• Clothes dryers not connected to the laundry branch circuit
• Water heaters
• Permanently connected motors not included in Heat & Air-Conditioning Load section
HEATING & AIR-CONDITIONING LOADS
Include the largest of the following six selections (kVA load) in calculation
Air Conditioning and Cooling
• 100% of nameplate rating
Heat Pumps Without Supplemental Electric Heating
• 100% of nameplate rating
Heat Pumps With Supplemental Electric Heating
• 100% of nameplate rating of the heat pump compressor*
• 65% of nameplate rating of supplemental electric heating equipment
- If compressor & supplemental heat cannot run at the same time
do not include the compressor
Electric Space Heating
• Less than 4 separately controlled units@ 65% of nameplate rating
• 4 or more separately controlled units @ 40% of nameplate rating
• 40% of nameplate rating if 4 or more separately controlled units
Electric Thermal Storage (or system where the load is expected to be
continuous at nameplate rating
• 100% of nameplate rating
• Systems of this type cannot be calculated under any other section of 220.82 (C).
LOAD CALCULATIONS
General Lighting Load
• Small Appliance & Laundry Circuits
• General Appliances & Motors (1 00% rated load)
• Sum of all General Loads
APPLY DEMAND FACTORS
- First 10 kVA@ 100%
- Remainder of General Loads @ 40%
• HEAT I A-C LOAD@ 100%
Converting VA TO kW (Single-phase applications with 1.0 power factor only) 1 kVA = 1 kW
