R Receptive Member Feb 16, 2010 #3 Agree with using Article 220. It's all there - even a handy little table for any loads that are not specifically addressed in Article 220.

LarryFine Master Electrician Electric Contractor Richmond VA Location Henrico County, VA Occupation Electrical Contractor Feb 16, 2010 #5 B.B., welcome to the forum! You'll likely need to fill out what our POCO calls a Load Letter. Check with them early on in the process. They should assign you a field engineer.
