    AMIR ANWAR
    This document provides instructions for calculating the optional method service load for a single dwelling unit according to CEC 220.82. It outlines 12 steps to determine: 1) General lighting and receptacle loads by multiplying the square footage by 3 VA. 2) Small appliance branch circuits of at least 1500 VA each for a minimum of two circuits. 3) Laundry branch circuits of at least 1500 VA each for a minimum of one circuit. 4) Total VA for all appliances by adding the nameplate ratings.

    clothes dryers. Convert any nameplate clothes dryer/_________ ___________/_________
    rating given in amperes to volt-amperes disposal___ /_________ ___________/_________
    by multiplying the amperes by the range_____ /_________ ___________/_________
    rated voltage. EV________ /_________ ___________/_________

    5. Apply 220.82(B) demand factor to the total of lines 1 through 4.


    5
    _____________________ - 10,000 = _______________ x 40% = _______________ + 10,000 =
    (total of line 1 through 4)
    6. Heating or Air-Condition System 220.82(C) A) Air-Conditioning and cooling systems, including heat pumps
    Use the nameplate ratings in volt-amperes for all without any supplemental electric heating:
    applicable systems in lines ‘a’ through ‘c’.
    __________________ x 100% = A

    B) Electric thermal storage and other heating systems where the C) Supplemental electric heating equipment for heat-pump
    usual load is expected to be continuous at full nameplate systems. Include the heat-pump compressor(s) at 100%. If the
    value. Systems qualifying under this section shall not be heat-pump compressor is prevented from operating with the
    figured under any other selection in 220.82(C). supplement heat, omit the compressor.

    7. Total Volt-Ampere
    Demand Load:
    _____________________________________ + _____________________________________ = 7
    (largest VA rating from line 6a through 6c) (line 5)
    8. Minimum Amperes 9. Minimum Size
    Divide the total Service or
    Volt-amperes __________ ÷ __________ = 8 ___________ Feeder 9
    by the voltage. (line 7) (voltage) (minimum 240.6(A) (minimum is
    amperes) 100 amperes)
    10. Size the Service of Feeder Conductors.
    Use 310.15(B)(6) to find the service conductors up to 400 amperes. Minimum Size
    Ratings in excess of 400 amperes shall comply with Table 310.16. Conductors 10
    310.15(B)(6) also applies to feeder conductors serving as the main power feeder.

    11. Size the Grounding Electrode Conductors.
