Pool Heaters do not require gfci. At one time I also thought the NEC would have made that a requirement

Well you are stuck with it so write a proposal to get rid of it for 2017 :D

I have heard that but have not seen it. I did see this

I think for the hotel rooms you would use the demand in Table 220.42 for that portion of the load. Is that what you are asking?

I have not seen any documentation but I would bet the lighted closet rods have something about that.

If I know there will be a freezer or a refrigerator I will run a circuit for that and install the rest of the receptacles on another cir. If there are 2 garage doors I usually run a circuit for them...

I cannot make heads or tails of it

Technically the neutral cannot be smaller than the equipment grounding conductor. I am not sure of the load setup but IMO you need to run the neutral

I am not sure anyone knows however it may be to help the wire keep from corroding. That is the best explanation I can come up with.

Correct a house is not considered to have continuous loads in the calc.

Interesting point is that most electric water heaters are considered continuous load however I have never seen it used for...

I have had the same situation. I ran a conduit for the HVAC guys so they could deal with it that way. I think that setup is compliant where the sjo goes from the back side of the inside unit...

I think the only way you can use the base at 200 amps continuous is with a 100% rated breaker at 200 amps or a 225 amp, or a standard 250 amp breaker.


You could have a 200 amp continuous load...

Chicken........:D

Nope-- never saw a gfci trip the overcurrent protective device.

It does seem odd that 220 does not state to use 125% of the continuous load however

I see what you are saying Bob and I think you may be correct. Example D3 separates the continuous loads from non continuous loads and it does do the 125% of the continuous loads at the end of the...

I agree with David. Suppose you have a warehouse with lighting only. Loads are continuous but when we calculate we use VA/ sq. ft or we can calculate the actual load of the lights if it is more...

Yeah that is what I was saying in the post above your last one. I guess I could use it for 250 amps although I don't think I have ever seen a service that size. 225 and 300 I have seen but not 250....

I read your post and I said that you were agreeing with me but I reread my post and realized I didn't type what I wanted to say. I wanted to say that the words do seem to state what "you're" saying,...

The code states 2 or more minimum for install but we still only calculate for 2 small appliance branch circuit.

I agree the wording does not seem to support what you're saying but every...

When you speak of minimum then it will be based on the calculated load not the wire size or breaker sizes.

The actual minimum service neutral cannot be smaller than T. 250.66. The smallest...

It would take a very unusual range that would require more than 40 amps as a 16 kw ranges is only required to be on a 40 amp circuit.

Yes


When the calculated load is over 100 amps


I agree it is in the small appliance branch circuit allowance of 1500 watts.


You can have as many small appliance branch circuit's as...

I just checked a new Milbank 200 amp meter base and it is indeed rated 200 amps continuous so everything is moot about this issue. It now makes sense that a 200 and a 320 base is rated at the...

I am saying if the load is continuous at 170 amps and you had a 200 amp breaker that is rated 100% then you could not use the 200 amp base. Highly unlikely I know

We do have a member saying that...
