there are different exceptions to the rules in 220 of the code you probaly should take the time to read it. some of it a can be a little confusing.

i assume you were considering 220.3 (9) recptical outlets .except as covered 230.(b)(10) blah blah blah shall be computed as 180 va form each single or each multible per yoke it goes on you should read it then read 220.3(10) 1.2.3. and then (11) and then single phase va= e x i that is commercial, in res there is no limit on recpt. and we are suppost to put the general purpose receptacles in with the “3 VA per sq. ft. lighting load 240ish its been a while sorry i had to look up some of this stuff, The calculation should be volt x amps /180 for example if the branch circuit is 120 V and the breaker is 15 amps then 120 x 15 / 180 =10 The maximum number of receptacles in this case is - :Thumbs: 10

man i have forgoten so much stuff since school. i feel' n stupid up in here. i have let my code books get dusty, it seems it might be time for a refresher course. there was a day before i took the test i could rattle this stuff off like nothing.

do you have any idea how many people i have seen in my office just like that guy? it makes me a little crazy. i have hired people that said they ran jobs in ny and applied as foreman and i call the refs and they aint heard of him or worse they tell me he worked there and and thats all, and i hire him and he cant install the disco. because hes never done it. or worse, he tries and its installed incorrectly and i have had guys asking their helper how to wire a four way switch the blind leading the blind. material gets log-jammed week behind schedual because he didnt know he was behind and dosent have the sense or is afraid to call me. oh man i have seen some real winners. people that cant handle the dynamics of the sub to contractor relationship oh they are ok on the install but keeping a schedual and knowing when to crack the whip.... ok im ranting sorry. i dont micro manage and i tend to let my foreman run there jobs and do their own take offs sometimes it bites me in the ass. i have run jobs for people that couldnt resist being on top of everything( always made me wonder what the hell they hired me for) and i dont do it to my guys.

i have no , no problem with people trying to make that leap from wire puller to lead guy to foreman and then to super or master - hell we all went that route in some way -- but i do have a problem with helpers thinking they can jumpstart their careers at the expense of home and buisness owners.


deeeeeeeeep breath ok. :Thumbs:
