Re: multi -family

You can't calculate the service sizes with the information you have given us. Check out Article 220 to calculate the load for the services. I am guessing that you will need a 100 ampere service for each side of the double. The Code also require the occupants have access to all of their overcurrent devices (240.24)
 
Re: multi -family

Charlie is correct.

But...if you were so inclined, buy an ampclamp, turn everything in the house on, take a reading.

The devil made me say it.... :eek:

And then derate that? The devil made me say that. :D

Edit: I left out an "n"
