Ranges Worksheet

1. What is the demand load for 1 range rated 11 kw?

2. What is the demand load for 1 range rated 9 kw?

3. What is the demand load for 3 ranges each rated 11 kw?

4. What is the demand load for 15 ranges each rated 9 kw?

answers:

1. 8 kw

2. 8 kw

3. 14 kw

4. 30 kw

Table 220-19, Note 1: For ranges individually rated more than 12 kw but not more
than 276 kw, the maximum demand in Column C shall be increased by 5 percent
for each kw of rating or major fraction thereof by which the rating of each
individual range exceeds 12 kw:

Using column C and note 1:

5. What is the demand for 1 range rated at 16 kw?

6. What is the demand for 6 ranges rated at 18 kw each?

7. What is the demand for 5 ranges rated at 18 kw each?

8. What is the demand for 20 ranges rated at 14 kw each?

Answers:

5. 16 - 12= 4. 4 x 5 percent= 20 percent. Increase the column C value for 1 range


by 20 percent. 8 x 1.20 =9.6 kw
6. 18 - 12 = 6 x 5 percent = 30 percent. Increase the column C value for 6 ranges
by 30 percent. 21 x 1.30 = 27.3 kw

7. 18 - 12 = 6 x 5 percent = 30 percent. Increase the column C value for 5 ranges


by 30 percent. 20 x 1.30 = 26 kw

8. 20 - 12 = 8 x 5 percent = 40 percent. Increase the column C value for 20


ranges by 40 percent. 35 x 1.4= 49 kw

Using column A and note 2:

9. What is the demand load for the service or feeder supplying the following
ranges?

1 range rated at 20 kw

4 ranges rated at 15 kw each

2 ranges rated at 9 kw each

10. What is the demand for the service or feeder supplying the following ranges?

2 ranges rated at 20 kw each

3 range rated at 10 kw each

2 range rated at 14 kw each

Answers:

20 + 60 + 24 = 104 divide by 7 = 14.85 - 12= 3 x 5percent =15 percent above


the column C value for 7 ranges. 22 x 1.15=25.3 kw

10

40 + 36 + 28 = 104 divide by 7 = 14.85 - 12 = 3 x 5 percent = 15 percent above


the column C value for 7 ranges. 22 x 1.15 = 25.3 kw

11. What is the demand load for two 3 kw cooking appliances in a dwelling unit?

from column A, 6000 x 75 percent = 4.5kw

12. What is the demand load for one 6 kw cooking appliance in a dwelling unit?
from column B, 6000 x 80 percent = 4.8kw

13. What is the demand load for two 3 kw ovens and one 6 kw cook top in a
dwelling unit?

from column A, 6000 x 75 percent = 4.5kw, from column c, 6000 x 80 percent =


4.8 kw, add 4.5 kw to 4.8 kw for a total demand of 9.3 kw
