Hi all,

I would like to start a discussion regarding CEC demand factors for load calculations vs. NEC demand factors.

From what I can derive (from Section 8), the CEC does not allow much in the way of diversification. For example, in a commercial kitchen the NEC allows diversification in regards to kitchen equipment loads, such as ranges, whereas the CEC requires 100% of the nameplate rating.

Does anyone have any thoughts on loading the secondary of a transformer based on CEC load calculations vs. NEC load calculations?
