So my question is: What are they ? Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Queen of England ? Just fantasy ?
220.14(J) says... no additional load calcs for
220.14(J)(1) all general use and bath; 210.11(C)(3)/210.52(D)
220.14(J)(2) outdoor; 210.52(E), basement, garage, accessory; 210.52(G)
220.14(J)(3) lighting

So whats not general purpose [or specifically listed] ?
210.52(B)/210.11(C)(1) small appliance ?
210.52(F)/210.11(C)(2) laundry ?
210.52(H) hallway plug ?
210.52(I) foyer plug ?

I see specific appliance/dedicated recept is based on amp rating and not a flat 180 VA; 220.14(A)

So what gets added to the dwelling calc as 180 VA ?

Does Ohio have some other interpretation.

Nothing...the 180 va does not apply to anything in dwelling units.
Saying "Nothing" is alot more straight foward than

"220.14(J) says... no additional load calcs for
220.14(J)(1) all general use and bath; 210.11(C)(3)/210.52(D)
220.14(J)(2) outdoor; 210.52(E), basement, garage, accessory bldg; 210.52(G)
220.14(J)(3) lighting"

If you publicise a list of recept that dont require additional load calcs, doesn't that mean that theres stuff that is NOT on the list ?

They list general use, bath, outdoor, basement, garage, accessory bldg, and lighting. So that means theres stuff that is NOT on the list
