What is the Code required minimum number of receptacles in a small office space (approx. 80 SF)?
I plan to install 3, 15AMP, 125VAC, duplex receptacles in the office space. I have talked to the office manager and he has indicated the loads will be 450W for computer and printer, 50W for task lighting and a coffee pot at 950W. So I know 3, 15AMP, duplex receptacles feed from a 20AMP, 120VAC, single pole circuit breaker will provide adequate power. But I am curious if the NEC has a minimum required number of receptacles required in an office space. I have not found a minimum required number of receptacles required.
