Sizing Dryers and Ranges, Load Calculations

This video is to help you understand how to size a Dryer and a Range in a single family service calculation.

DRYER

Art. 220.54 States that a dryer must have a minimum demand of 5000 watts or the Nameplate rating which ever is greater.

RANGE

Art. 220.55 States that an electric range must be calculated according to Table 220.55

Note 1 is explained that if you have a range that is over 12kw every 1kw over 12kw must be calculate by 5%.

Example

15kw
-12kw = 3kw

3kw
x.05 = 15%

8000 per 220.55
x1.15 = 9200watts

And also thank you for not talking 1000 mph like mike holt does, I understand the first thing he’s talking about and then I blink and he’s on to explaining the fourth thing 😂

Watching your videos makes me wonder if I really had to spend $700 on an exam prep course. They did calculations in the first week and I was lost. I saw 3 of your videos and understood calculations right away. This was indispensable Thank you Craig

Missed a section in class and your videos came in clutch to help me catch up, thanks bro!

[sharellmatthews]

Thank you for your knowledge. 1. What if your range is gas?
2. What if your water heater is gas?
3. Are the microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal separate from small appliances or do you add separately or one more to small appliances?
