Fixed Appliance Loads
Fixed Appliance Loads for Residential Services
When there are four or more fixed appliances in a dwelling unit, then the
entire nameplate value for each appliance does not need to be added into the
service calculation. Instead, a total of all the appliances is calculated. Then
that total is multiplied by 75% which will yield a smaller number to be entered
into the service calculation. The reason is that in a dwelling unit all of the
appliances will not typically be used at the same time. Therefore, a smaller
allowance is needed for them in the service calculation.
Fixed appliance loads can include:
attic exhaust fan
bath exhaust fan
boat davit
built in clock
built in sub-zero
built in toaster
ceiling fans
central vacuum
central air cleaner
central dehumidifier
