If I have an appliance (Range) that is a double oven (electric) rated a total of 6.5kw with a gas cooktop that is not built in, I use the nameplate rating and table 220.55 to determine the branch circuit rating (i.e. 6500watts/240v=27amps x 80% = 22 amps Branch Circuit rating). I used note 4 and column B.
Then I get a little confused about choosing the ocpd. Would I protect this at 22amps (next standard size up)? My boss provided me with 8/3 for this circuit, I'm just trying to decide what size breaker I need for the panel makeup.
Thanks,
Sky
