Sizing Dryers and Ranges, Load Calculations

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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

    Hi Craig I think there is un intentional miscalculation, just to make sour if I am in the right direction ? 15,000kw -12,000kw=3kw times 5 . times 15%. So 15 to 100 =1.5 not 1.15 and then the answer would be 8000 times 1.5 if I am right,

    No it is 15% or as I do it 1.15 ×8000. It is just 15%. CM

    Okay sorry for being lost but somewhere in a practice exam the additional 5% per 1000 KW was added to 12,000 instead of 8,000. What is going on there? I is there a scenario where this is done

    The 5%is added to the 8000va. Never to the 12Kva. You subtract the the from the over 12kw add the 5% to the 8000 as I explained!! I have a video on using 220.55 this will explain it. CM

    Why can't you just multiply 8,000 by 15 % . Why do u have to break it down to 1.15. because I did the math and it gives me a different number of multiply 8,000 × 15%
