It might help to take the answer and use it to size the OCPD and conductors at the end. I am not sure but I think the total load would be 117.66 amps; this would require a 125 amp service OCPD with copper #2 sized from T310.12(A). Do you agree with these numbers?
This is just an example. These are separate examples to break down each section of the calculation into separate sections. The point is to show you if you had 32,800 VA, what you would do with it in the optional method. At 15:17 there is an actual example which includes everything all at once.
These videos are gold! I’m studying for my masters
Thank you. Good luck, you got this!
Great follow along
Thanks!

Yes, it would be 118A as amps get rounded up if 0.5 or higher, according to Article 220.5 (B). Yes correct, 125A Service OCPD with #2 cu. or 1/0 al.
13:17 I do not understand how you got 32,800 VA as your total VA.
