for each range

for each range

1.
Over 12 kW through 27 kW ranges all of same rating. For ranges individually rated more
than 12 kW but not more than 27 kW, the maximum demand in Column C shall be increased 5 percent
for each additional kilowatt of rating or major fraction thereof by which the rating of individual ranges
exceeds 12 kW.
2.
Over 83/4 kW through 27 kW ranges of unequal ratings. For ranges individually rated more
3
than 8 /4 kW and of different ratings, but none exceeding 27 kW, an average value of rating shall be
computed by adding together the ratings of all ranges to obtain the total connected load (using 12 kW
for any range rated less than 12 kW) and dividing by the total number of ranges. Then the maximum
demand in Column C shall be increased 5 percent for each kilowatt or major fraction thereof by which
this average value exceeds 12 kW.
3.
Over 13/4 kW through 83/4 kW. In lieu of the method provided in Column C. it shall be
permissible to add the nameplate ratings of all household cooking appliances rated more than 13/4 kW
but not more than 83/4 kW and multiply the sum by the demand factors specified in Column A or B for
the given number of appliances. Where the rating of cooking appliances falls under both Column A
and Column B, the demand factors for each column shall be applied to the appliances for that column,
and the results added together.
4.
Branch-Circuit Load. It shall be permissible to compute the branch-circuit load for one
range in accordance with Table 220.19. The branch-circuit load for one wall-mounted oven or
one counter-mounted cooking unit shall be the nameplate rating of the appliance. The branchcircuit load for a counter-mounted cooking unit and no more than two wall-mounted ovens, all
supplied from a single branch circuit and located in the same room, shall be computed by adding
the nameplate rating of the individual appliances and treating this total as equivalent to one
range.
5.
This table also applies to household cooking appliances rated over 1 3/4 kW and used in
instructional programs. Reprinted with permission from NFPA 70 The National Electric Code
