Hi,
I am trying to solve example D4(b) in the 2008 NEC as preparation for the master test.
220.82(C)(5) allows a 40% factor applied to the 4 electric space heating units.
The factor is applied to the main feeder but not to the individual feeders going to each unit. It seems to me that the factor should apply to the individual feeders too.
Does anyone know why is the factor not used in the individual feeder calculation?
Thank you.
