Oh I see...you are trying to calculate the existing load...
thats easy!
get a copy of ALL of his electric bills for the last year or so..
Unless the bill includes a demad factor, the everything is operated 24/7 a bill does not help you calculate loads.

Hi,

Don- have you ever seen a commercial/industrial power bill? do they not include the demand factor?

and i guess they dont meter power 24/7.

i know for my shop it does.

anyway to make everybody happy---

-"Do not use an electric bill to see what kind of load/power a place may be consuming."

use the methods posted by sparkync,George,DiverDan,iwire,resqcapt19 and anybody else that knows.

hey maybe i mispelled some words too..anybody care to take a shot?

nothing personal on my part guys..

thanks for the comments.

-regards

greg

Greg it is nothing personal here, it is all about the trade. Don is just as likely to point out when I am wrong as anyone else. I do not take it personal.

The reason you are getting singled out is because you post stuff like this...

There is a big problem with your design..
YOU HAVE NO ROOM FOR FUTURE EXPANSION.
This is required by the code..

...then when asked about it you say nothing.

This section of ECN is called "NEC & other Code issues" as such we try to provide code references.

Please do not take things personal.

mustang,
Please read article 90.1(B). You may want to retract this statement: "There is a big problem with your design..
YOU HAVE NO ROOM FOR FUTURE EXPANSION.

This is required by the code.."
