Recept's

Off a 30 Amp, 480 Volt bucket, What is the total number of 30 Amp recepticles you can install in parallel. Like a residential, for a 20 Amp circuit is 13 recepticles.????

where did you get that from? 13 rcpts on a 20A residential circuit.

180*13= 2340

2340/120= 19.5 amps

There has been a lot of discussion on whether this is for load calculation purposes or for practical use. For residential I think not.

Generally, a circuit of that size is specific duty. I do not know of a limitation from NEC other than 180va per.

depends on the load to be served 210.19 (2005)

I have put 12 on a 30 amp bucket before but this was in a food plant and it was for our one and only welder we spaced them around the floor to keep the AC connection and the welding leads as short as possible

What do you mean by a "bucket"

It seems unlikely you'd have 480 v general purpose recepts. I'd say you'd size it for the load to be served.

There is no limit to the number of residential recepticles on a circuit.

What do you mean by a "bucket"

Sorta like an MCC bucket, but without the starter stuff. Part of a modular switchboard, typically featuring fuses. Here's one that suffered a severe end of life failure.

In my opinion as many as you would like to.

Thanks... actually, I had heard MCC buckets referred to as buckets.
The memory is the second thing to go.

I really hate to admit I have forgotten, but what is the first?

You're better off not remembering.
