Only the demand load matters for sizing the breaker and feeders, not the total connected load.
And if continuous loads are multiplied by 125%, then we don't need to consider the breakers 80% limit. As long as your demand load is less than 225 amps, you can use the 225 amp breaker.
I think its that simple, but I'm interested in hearing opinions if anyone thinks its more complicated than that.
