  1. 1List all devices on circuit, sum wattages
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Worked Examples

Инпут
Lights 300W + outlets 1200W + appliance 1500W
Резултат
Total Load = 3000W on 20A circuit = 25A → overloaded

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
