What is the demand load for the service for two 3.5-kW wall-mounted ovens and one 5-kW counter-mounted cooking unit ? All of the appliances are supplied from a single branch circuit and are located in the same room of a one-family dwelling
Expert Solution
Step 1

Here, we have given a problem related to the load demand required for the equipments used by a family. 

So, here we know that the family is using two wall-mounted ovens having the rating of 3.5 kW

And, one counter-mounted cooking unit having the rating of  5-kW.

 

We know that the demand factor for any cooking equipment is 0.8. 

 

So, first we will calculate the load demand for wall-mounted ovens and then we will calculate the load demand for

a counter-mounted cooking unit. 

Then, we will add both the load demand together.

 

So, we will follow the below given procedure for required results.
