What is the total ampacity for a 120V branch circuit consisting of four duplex receptacles rated noncontinuous duty and six duplex receptacles rated continuous duty?

a. 15.00A
b. 16.50A
c. 17.25A
d. 18.75A


c. 17.25A
4 (noncontinuous) x 180VA = 720VA
6 (continuous) x 180VA x 125% = 1,350VA
720VA + 1,350VA = 2,070VA
2,070VA ÷ 120V = 17.25A
