Electrical Service Ampacity Load Calculations


(Per NYC Electrical Code 2011)

PROJECT INFORMATION: 9 Jones Street, 5th Floor DATE: February 27, 2020
New York, NY 10014
1,678 Total Square Feet

The following calculations for the abovementioned project are meant to determine the required service amapcity
based on total square footage and proposed equipment and applicance loads as part of the apartment
renovation.

ALTERNATE COMPLIANCE METHOD [Per Section 220.83(B)]

1. AIR CONDITIONING LOADS

Qty Appliance Watts Total Watts


4 Indoor AC Units 185 ea 740 W
1 ACCU-1 4,992 ea 4,992 W

Total Watts (Section 1): 5,732 W

2. Central Electric Space Heating - Not Applicable


3. OTHER LOADS
General

Lighting and General Receptacles 1,678 SF x 3 W/SF = 5,034 W


Small Appliance Loads and Laundry 3 Total @ 1,500 W (ea) = 4,500 W

Appliance Loads

Qty Appliance Watts Total Watts


1 Refrigerator 1,000 ea 1,000 W
1 Hood/Gas Range 500 ea 500 W
1 Wine Storage 900 ea 900 W
1 Dishwasher 1,200 ea 1,200 W
1 Microwave 950 ea 950 W
1 WOLF Oven 4,992 ea 4,992 W
1 Heat Pump Dryer 5,000 ea 5,000 W

Sub Total Watts: 24,076 W

First 8,000 W taken at 100% = 8,000 W


Remaining 16,076 taken at 40% = 6,430 W

Total Watts (Section 3): 14,430 W

Total Watts Section (1+2+3): 20,162 W

Total Demand = (Total Watts)/(Voltage x Phase Factor)


Total Demand = 20,162 Watts
= 97 Amps
208V x 1 Phase

Notes: The existing apartment service is 208-Volts, 1-Phase, 3-Wire and the feeder is protected by a
100-Amp, 2-Pole circuit breaker located in the Cellar electrical room. Based on the above calculations,
the existing apartment's electrical service is adequate to support the proposed loads.
