Hi, owner wants to add a 40amp 240v. load and a 20amp 240v load. House was built in the seventies. 100amp Bryant main. He wanted to know if he could add these loads. So I did a load calc. Here's what I came up with. 1650sqft. home x 3w. = 4950w. + 4500w. for SABC & laundry = 9450w. First 3000w. 100% + 35% for the rest = 5258w. General lighting.
Name plate on dryer 6720w. in wall oven 4080w. A/C 5760w. stove 8000w. steam something 8080w. = 32640w. Large appliance loads.
Fixed appliances, dishwasher 1152w. disposal 700w. garage door opener 720w. microwave 1716w. = 4288w. x .75 for 4 or more fixed appliances = 3216w.
Added everything up came to 41114w. divied by 240v. = 171amps. Can you please tell me if you see something incorrect. Thank you.
