Sizing Dryers and Ranges, Load Calculations
Published 2018-05-31
DRYER
Art. 220.54 States that a dryer must have a minimum demand of 5000 watts or the Nameplate rating which ever is greater.
RANGE
Art. 220.55 States that an electric range must be calculated according to Table 220.55
Note 1 is explained that if you have a range that is over 12kw every 1kw over 12kw must be calculate by 5%.
Example
15kw
-12kw = 3kw
3kw
x.05 = 15%
8000 per 220.55
x1.15 = 9200watts

Thank you for your knowledge. 1. What if your range is gas? 2. What if your water heater is gas? 3. Are the microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal separate from small appliances or do you add separately or one more to small appliances?
