Show solution

Correct answer to question 12064

  • D: 12,200 VA

Explanation

Each yoke counts at 180 VA (120.14(I)): 80 x 180 = 14,400 VA. Non-dwelling receptacle loads may take the first 10 kVA at 100 % and the rest at 50 % under the Article 120 receptacle demand table: 10,000 + 4,400 x 0.5 = 12,200 VA.
