I have been studying to take my Master Electrical License test and have read things a bit more in depth. In article 220.53(B), it states that "this load shall be permitted to be included with the general lighting load and subject to the demand factors provided in table 220.42." So, it seems to me that this could mean that if a dwelling has 1000 sq feet that the laundry load shall be permitted to be included with the general lighting load of 1000 sq.' X 3 = 3000 as compared to 3000 va + 1500 = 4500 for the general lighting load plus the laundry circuit load. So which is it?
It seems to me that when questions or specifications list a laundry circuit, then 1500 va needs to be added to the total load to be adjusted by the applicable demand factor calculation method. Am I correct?
