I am looking to see if I can install a new Washer and Dryer in a existing apartment. The washer and dryer is 12 and 13 amps respectively.
The apartment is 1000 sq ft, with Gas Range (100W), No Hot Water Heater (Building Provides it). 3 Window Units (500W each). I used the minimum of 2 - 1500W for small appliances.
The existing service is 40 AMP 120/208V/Single Phase.
If I use 220.83 I get 48 AMPS.
If I use 220.40, I get 44 AMPS.
See attach, my work
I was wondering if I calculated the load correctly for 220.40 since I used the example in Appendix D1(a).
Are they are ways to calculate the additional load to reduce the load down further.
Also if a 40 AMP/Single Phase breaker was installed, does that mean you can load it up to only 80% of the load or can you considered it at 100%. Not sure if there is a code section I can look this information up.
