After working all day I'm a little groggy and need a second opinion. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
(Moderator: Sorry for the double post, I hit a short cut on accident).
I'm working in a building that is soon to be a commercial kitchen... panel doesn't have enough spaces. I want to install a sub panel for:
4 ovens @ 11kw each / 208 / 1.73 (3 phase)=122.2 amps
1 food processor @ 7.5 amps
1 hot plate @ 3 amps
____________________________________________________
=132.7 amps
132.7 amps * 65% (table 220.56) = 86.3 amps
Assuming service is big enough (it is), all I need is a 100 amp breaker to feed 100 amp (or larger) sub panel.
What do you think? It just doesn't seem right. Maybe because there's a 132 amp load on a 100 amp panel. Am I forgetting something?
Thanks for the help.
