Load calc for tanning salon

[wheresmymeter]

Need to do a load calc for a tanning salon. Is there a demand facotr like on dryers? or just add up the ampacity for each bed? If I just add them up I come up with an un-earthly number. Couldnt find any reference in the code for them either.

Re: Load calc for tanning salon

You don?t add up the ampacity, you add up the load, in units of KVA. But no, regrettably, there is no demand factor. You have to presume that all tanning beds will be in service at the same time (or so, at least, will be the hope of the owner), and provide enough power to serve them all.
