Practice test questions

What is the demand lighting load in a 2,200 square foot home?
For the demand load you add the two 1,500 watt small appliance circuits and one 1,500 watt laundry then apply demand factor, so, 6,600+ 4,500= 11,100-3000 x .35 + 3,000 = 5,835VA

What is the general lighting load for a 3,200 square foot home? In this question you do not apply the two 1,500 watt small appliance circuits and one 1,500 watt laundry? So, 9,600VA

Any info is appreciated, I dont have the answer key. Thanks

Well I'll answer my own question, I talked to my former instructor and was told that G.L.L. does not have demand factor yet applied, but it does include the 4500 watts for the kitchen small appliance and laundry circuits. But I do think it is a poor test question to ask G.L.L. if you've already found D.L.L. then you obviously know G.L.L.
