Hi, I'm a newly trained electrical contractor in Sacramento, CA.
I have lots of questions so here's one:

How many outlet's should I put on one circuit?
I know there's an 1800 watts (120V X 15A) capacity on each circuit but should I calculate the appliances that's going to be used on those circuits up to ALL 1800 watts??

You guys didn't read the question correctly..

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.
Now why would I think 1800 watts per circuit is acceptable??

I meant the line from the breaker to the circuits wired in parellel.
