Residential Wiring

[norcal]

I agree with your points. Another difference with UK residential is that it is all 230V Hz, no 110V.

We do not have 110V either, mostly just DIYers & foreigners calling it that

His question was ...........how many receptacles can he put on a 15 amp circuit.
Multiple the square footage of the dwelling times 3 VA per square foot.
Divide that by 120 volts.
Then divide that by 15 amp circuit breakers that you will need.
Round up if you have a remainder (fraction thereof).

Then read 210-11 Branch Circuits Required (A) (B)
Knowing how many circuits you need will now allow you to evenly provide the approximate number of receptacles on the 15 amp circuit.
Do the same if you want to use 20 amp circuits.

Thanks for reading

That has ZERO to do with the number of receptacles that can be supplied by each 15 amp branch circuit. That tells you how many circuits you need.
Each required circuit could have the number of receptacles needed to comply with the rules in 210.52(A)(2) or 10 or even 100 times that number.

The evenly proportioned part only applies the the area supplied by the required branch circuits, and not by the number of receptacles in each area.
Receptacles in dwelling units are not load.
