Maybe you guys can give me a little help here.

I have a customer it's an existing multi-unit residential building I think that's about 10 units being fed with 400 amps for five apartments and 400 amps for the other five apartments..

They currently have gas cooking and heating. Where do I begin to see if the servic size is sufficient and also the feeder from the basement to the apartment.

They're looking for me to give them an idea of what size electric range they should purchase and if they have the capacity to do so

Table 220.55 gives you demand loads for cooking appliances.

Simple range of no more than 12 kW rating would normally be considered 8 kW load for the branch circuit calculation.

If you have five of them on a feeder/service the total demand to use for load calculations would be 20 kW.

You need to factor in what is there for existing load as well to know if you have capacity to add these appliances to what is there.
