Instant Hot water heater under the sink Bradford model EFT-28000-4-T-10 208 volt single phase. Draws close to 140 amps.
Theres 45 units that theses are POSSIBLY going to be installed. As far as I see it each one must be rated for condutious duty(X125%)45 x 6075x125% aprox 760 amps ???
Anyone know of any derateing ect in this case?? Seem like a lotta power for Hot water???

Article 100 defines continuous load as:
"A load where the maximum current is expected to continue for 3 hours or more"
That's one heck of a long time to run the sink.

The water heater is not a storage type. It is an "On Demand" type.
It heats the water when needed, and only when needed.
Here's a PDF
If you scroll down to "Series Three" you'll find it there.

Yooper, I might see a few errors in your thinking.
These are single-phase 'whole house' water heaters. I assume that means that these will each be going in a different residence, and different panels.
Does the load seem high? Sure - that's the price you pay for 'instant' heat.
When you do the load calcs for multiple dwellings, there's a multiplier for your "diversity factor." The effect of this is, whether you use the 125% figure or not in each individual panel, I don't think it will change the final total service needed.
Looks like you need 3 two-pole breakers - and they;ll need to be mounted next to each other, so they can be considered as disconnects 'grouped together.'

It's insane how much power it takes to heat water on demand, isn't it? I would have had to upgrade my service to put in an in-use hot water heater for my home. Gas isn't much better- the size gas like you need for even a 1-shower-at-a-time tank line that is obscene, too.
