Number of outlets?

[Dennis Alwon]

where does the 180 volt amps per outlet come into play?

For calculations on commercial loads.

As many as you want.

As many as you want.

Is there an echo in here?:wink:

where does the 180 volt amps per outlet come into play?

I don't know if anyone has yet (didn't look too close), but here is a link to the FAQ on that topic.

This is yet another one of those topics where unconventional wisdom and outside the box thinking can only end in tears IMO.

220.3(B)(10) excludes many dwelling outlets from "further calculation"

If your inspector is of the very conventional thinking that circuits should be sized for the load, and calculated at 180VA per yoke other than what is clearly excluded - you're gonna have a bad time kids.... :roll:


So whats next - we ignore all of 220 and put in what-ever sized service we want, or size the building for the service we install instead?

I am not sure but let me being blunt for a min but i did read somewhere one state did make a admendment to the code change one state stated that 15 amp circuits no more than 10 repectales while 20 amp circuits no more than 13 repectales.

IMO it pretty much paralleled with the Cananda Electrical code [ i know some of you will scream at me but i have a feeling there will be more change along the way but i dont have all the answer ATM ]

All of 'em!

Ummm - no.

You can put as many as you want on a single circuit, but you can't put all of them.

You have to have two SABCs that cannot serve other outlets, you have to have a laundry circuit, you have at least one bathroom circuit, etc.,etc.
