In the current N.E.C.

[teco]

Could someone tell me where in the current N.E.C. one would find the wording "not to exceed 80%" of a circuit breaker or branch circuit?

If you mean the 2005, which is what most are still using:

210.23(A)(1)
210.23(B)
440.62(B)
440.62(C)
550.12(D)
552.46(B)(3)(c)

That helps. But I didn't ask the right question. I'm looking for something that may apply to a feeder such as a 100 amp or a 200 amp circuit.

Thanx

As long as it is not a continuous load than you may load to 100% of the breaker.

Here's what pops up in my search:

Table 220.88 and Table 551.73.

Thats the answer I was looking for.
Thank you

Now why couldn't I think to search for '125' instead of '80'?

Gawd, I miss my mind.

Why can't the NEC stick with one or the other, not both? :-?

Start writing proposals!
