How do you calculate range loads for learning facilities? Ex. 13 Ranges 10kw at 240 volts? I believe column C of 220.55 should be used but I am not sure since each range is less than 12 how to calculate this. Thanks for the help.
 
At first glance you should use Col. C. You are correct.

However, as I think about this, you have an additional problem with a learning facility: At this location, unlike any other, you have a very high probability that all of the ovens will be turned on at exactly the same time when the instructor says, "Preheat your ovens to 375*, and while you are preheating prepare your sauces on the stovetop." I think an engineered solution to this problem is in order--or more likely, someone else on this forum has done a job like this and knows what to do.

McClary's got a different code book than I, but has a better idea: use the commercial table 220.56 Add 'em all and apply .65 demand factor.
