BASIC NEC CODE RULES AND DESIGN PRACTICE

* For motor Loads multiply running current by 1.75-2.50 to get circuit breaker size as shown in Table 2 above. CIRCUIT LOADING GUIDE LINES. Maximum Loading - for a 20 A Circuit 20 Amp Circuit use for all lights and outlets @ 115V Maximum load is: I = (20 A)(.8) = 16 Amp maximum. Maximum KVA for 20 Amp circuit is (16 Amp)(.115 KV) = 1.84 KVA= 1840VA ................
