NEC understanding about continuous load that have been decreased by demand load?
NEC understanding about continuous load that have been decreased by demand load?
(OP)
This question is for code book understanding. Article 220 is reasonably clear as to the definition of continuous and non-continuous loads and how they affect the size of feeders and services.
My question is,
"How does the NEC expect the designer/engineer to treat the loads that have been decreased due to a Demand Factor elsewhere in the Code?"
A very clear example of my question comes from Table 220-20, Kitchen Equipment. After a demand factor of 65% is applied to six pieces of kitchen equipment, is this demand load considered continuous or non-continuous?
