Can any help, I'm trying to size the service for a laundrymat.
I am using Volts calculation software and I am using information provided from brochures
with amp rating for each piece of equipment. I understand there are no demand factors for comercial
laundry equpment. I'm also assuming that this is not continous load so just using 100% of amp ratings.
total load seems extremly high does this seem like im doing every thing correct or am I missing something?

the software im using (volts ) does all that for you .when you input your name plate info you have an option
on your input method ie. KVA,VA,AMPS,HP and it will convert all for you.So I used the amperage provided on
the spec sheet provided. Amp rating for 1 dryer is 120volts/16amps so does that mean 6 dryers on
a 3 pole panel wouldbe 32 amp on a-b-c leg?
