Remember to still include 25% of your largest motor when you are done with everything! No matter how many units you have you will only count it one time. For example in this video the largest motor is from the garbage disposal which is 900 VA .... then 900 VA x .25 = 225 W . This means along with what I taught in the video you will add 225 W. This means the ending number: 33,705 + 225 = 33,930 W ... This is your answer for total VA. 25% L.M. vid: th-cam.com/video/XqFcmxB4UlE/w-d-xo.html&t Summary and Comparison of Standard and Optional Method: th-cam.com/video/AqMjHHDS7Kw/w-d-xo.html
Great question! Gas powered appliances still need an outlet to ignite the flame and help the electronics in the appliance work, this is known as the "power for supplemental equipment and lighting." Check out Article 210.52 (B) (2) Exception 2. This exception tells us that we can add an extra outlet to provide power for the "supplemental equipment and lighting" on gas ranges as well as gas ovens and counter-mounted cooking units. Notice that this is found in section (B) of Article 210.52. Section (B) is Small Appliances (Small Appliance Branch Circuit ... SABC) this means that this extra outlet can be added on one of the SABCs. In conclusion you do not need to add any additional load for a gas powered appliance. The circumstance where you might end up adding additional load for a gas powered appliance is if someone mentions they want it on a dedicated circuit. Since it is located in the kitchen the plugs will need to be on the SABC meaning you would count another SABC at 1500va. You might see this in real life with a customer.
Hey Jarod you said in the video that you've been doing this for a while now. Do you do this for work? Because I recently began learning load calculations. And I really enjoy doing them, and I am curious about what types of jobs would have to perform L.C. as a primary responsibility. I appreciate any insight and thanks for the video!
Yes I have been studying this for over 6 years and have years of experience on the job as well. That is a great question and I am glad you enjoy doing these because that should benefit you in life. Are you an electrician? As an electrical contractor you will need to be able to solve these to get licensed and also to know how to do your job. There could be positions where you solely do load calc but I have never heard of them ... I'm guessing the best chance at finding a position like that would be for the union. However it is good to know positions like that would usually not be for the new employees but instead reserved for those with lots of experience and years with the company.
Glad to help! Remember to include 25% of your largest motor when you are done with all of this. Check the pinned comment for a more in depth explanation plus I will be uploading a video on it soon on my channel so look out for that.
Thank you for your video. Very informative. Question. When we’re calculating the (AC) why after multiplying 18 x 240. Why didn’t have to multiply by 125% that’s what’s getting me confused.

Maybe the mouse has an automatic garage port and lights up when it's in use (26:50 )
Hey Jarod how does gas appliances affect load calculations?

@@yasserabisaipineda9700 125% is for commercial load calculations, not residential.

Yes! And good luck!
