load calculation

[Isidro Molina]

How would you calculate the load for 32 ranges at 18kW ea. Using table 220.55.

Deleted because it was incorrect

By using Note 1 on :
Column C Maximum Demand (kW) (See Notes) (Not over 12 kW Rating)

1. Over 12 kW through 27 kW ranges all of same rating. For ranges individually rated more than 12 kW but not more than 27 kW, the maximum demand in Column C shall be increased 5 percent for each additional kilowatt of rating or major fraction thereof by which the rating of individual ranges exceeds 12 kW.

The title of the column is kind of misleading..."(Not over 12 kW Rating)"

Thanks celtic I knew that but obviously had a senior moment.

load calculation

18kv - 12kv=6kv
6kv X 5% =30%
15kv + 32kv=47kv
47kv X 30%=61.1kv
am I doing this right?

LOL.

Who was it that said "The code doesn't say what you think it says"?
