Electrical Load Calculations with all necessary factors
Did you want us to make-up one?
NEC Article 220 presents the information needed for residential feeders, branch circuits, and service calculations.
For more info see these articles:
1. 430
2. 424
3. 440
4. 300
5. 210
6. 300
7. 230
8. 240
And a few others ;)
To figure out the service or feeder size for dwellings (standard Method)***See NEC 220:
1. General lighting load 3VA per sq feet, one laundry circuit, and 2 small appliance circuits
2. Heat vs A/C **See NEC 220.60 and 220.51
3. Dryer **See Nec 220.54
4. Appliances **See NEC 220.53
5. Cooking Appliances **See NEC 220.55
6. Now size your service and feeder conductor: If the amps are 400 or less, and there is a 3 wire single phase 120/240v system, then size using Table 310.15(B)(6) If over 400 amps, then size per Table 310.16.
There is a lot more that goes into a demand Load calculation, and maybe someone will post a site that will help you along the way.
