Fraction there of/ major fraction there of

[pedro1200]

i want to make sure i got this correct. Major fraction there of means if theres a portion left over after calculation that exceeds half the distance then that becomes additional (outlet) While a fraction there of is anything over .5 becomes a whole number in a calculation

Are you referring to how the phrase “major fraction there of” is used to address a kw in table 220.55 , note 1? If so that’s how I’ve always understood it up to .5 no increase , any over .5 is considered a major fraction there of a whole number

220.14g 210.62. Yes for appliance calculation I believe.5 and over is a whole number

I think you’re referring to 220.5(b) fractions of an amp while doing a load calculation , and basically says round to nearest whole number .5 or less can be dropped . Basically you include .5 in the calculation and .6-.9 gets rounded to the next ampere Both of those references you just gave me were for show windows which don’t reference this at all , and using table 220.55 note 1 there is no 5% increase unless there’s additional kw or major fraction there of a kw and a major fraction is .6kw . .5 kw or less gets no increase . .6 kw and up gets the increase

Didn't you just ask this a little while back?
