(A) Feeder and Service Load.
This section applies to a any dwelling unit having the total connected load served by a single 120/240-volt or 208Y/120-volt set of 3-wire service or feeder conductors with an ampacity of 100 or greater. It shall be permissible to calculate the feeder and service loads in accordance with this section instead of the method specified in Part III of this article. The calculated load for each such dwelling unit shall be the result of adding the loads from 220.82(B) and (C). Feeder and service-entrance conductors whose calculated load is determined by this optional calculation shall be permitted to have the neutral load determined by 220.61.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input

Clarify that the results of the optional method in 220.82 carry upstream to a feeder or service supplying more than one qualifying dwelling unit, simply by adding the 220.82 calculated load of each dwelling unit. It is, after all, not possible for the load on a feeder or service to be greater than the sum of the loads on all feeders it supplies.
