Determine the minimum number of general illumination branch-circuits required in a dwelling that is 195 meters square assuming circuits rated at 20 amperes. Hint: according to Table 220.12, the minimum unit load for dwelling general illumination is 33 VA/m2.
What will be an ideal response?
195 m2 x 33 VA/m2 = 6435 VA
6435 VA/120V=54 amperes
54 amperes/20A per circuit=2.7
Three 20-ampere rated general illumination circuits are required for this dwelling.
