what if the name plate is 4KW, do take the minimum 5kw required per 220.54 or you take the name plate as called for per 220.82?

I looked at the examples in the annex D of my handbook but all of the dryers were at 5kw or higher.

Since the 220.80 applies to a totally different method personally i think we need to take the name plate and disregard the requirement of 220.54. But I would like to hear other comments.
