A house will have an electric range that has a nameplate rating of 11.5 kW. What is the branch circuit load for the range?

What will be an ideal response?


The first sentence in Note 4 to Table 220.55 says that it is permissible to use Table 220.55 to calculate the branch circuit load for one range. Use column C of Table 220.55 to get the maximum demand in kilowatts of a range not over 12 kW in rating. The first row is used when there is one range in a house. Because the range being installed is rated at 11.5 kW, use row 1, column C, which indicates that 8 kW is the value to be used for one range that has a rated value of 12 kW or less.
