I'm sure I'll get a few different responses for this, and might start an argument or two, but, in commercial construction, in a panel schedule or panel calculation, how do you account for plugmold strips? I've never run into a situation where I needed to know before now, and I'm not sure how to allow for it. I'm pretty sure receptacles are 180W per, and no I can't cite the code reference, but on this plugmold, there's 10 single receptacles. Does anyone know?

Article 220.14 (H) covers load calculations for multioutlet assemblies. When the outlets are unlikely to be used simultaneously its 180va for each 5 foot, or 180 va for each 1 foot when the receptacles are likely to be used simultaneously

Larry, you might want to start thinking about getting the 08. Unless you only do residential work in Ohio...:roll: :grin:

Nope, I do everything in central Virginia. We're always one of the last states to adopt new code, but I'm not complaining.

At least the NEC is used statewide here; no jurisdictional differences to remember.

Has Virgina ever rescinded a code they adopted because a group got together and skewed the numbers on the cost?:roll: ;) :grin:

We're supposed to be on a uniform code here in Ohio as well, but there are some people that believe they're outside the code...:roll:
