I am looking at a couple Residential calculation forms from 2 municipalities, and both include a "Food Center" at 600 VA.
What is a Food Center.
Thanks,
John

The only thing I can think of is Nutone's built-in blender/food processor which was called a Food Center. It is now sold by a different company http://nutonesales.com/kitchen-center.html

Thanks, case!
This might be it because the website lists 600 watts as the rating, and the load calc. form lists 600VA.
Thanks again.

Why would a counter top appliance show up on a load calc? That is what the small appliance circuits are for.

My guess would be that a Nutone food center is not considered a countertop appliance. They are built right in to the countertop and become part of the structure.
In fact, I can see an argument where you would not be allowed to hook the Nutone to the appliance circuit at all. You might have to provide a separate circuit for it (like a garbage disposal) or hook it up along with something else (like a range hood/fan) because it is not something that you can plug in to the countertop receptacles.
It wouldn't be a great argument, but I could make it...

Sometimes I think this load calc business can get out of hand. I guess that is why the PoCo will serve a 400a panel with 2ga aluminum. They know how much power people really use.
