Greetings!
Note 5 on table 220.55 says we can use the table to size the branch circuit for a range.
Question:
Can we use note 1 for a single range that is rated 12.6 kw and then use the base 8kw that's in column c for 1 appliance and then increase it by 5% for that one .6 major fraction there of over 12kw, to come up to a total of 8.4 when divided by 240 equals 35 amps? And since 210.19 (a) 3 says that household ranges 8 3/4 or more shall have a minimum of 40 branch circuit rating. Then will we be able to put that 12.6 kw range on a 40 amp breaker with 8 awg thhn?
