The NEC defines a continuous load as that which may run for three hours or more. Examples of these are: electric heat, water heaters, AC units, and even lighting circuits.

What is a short load system?
Electrical load forecasting. "A good electrical load forecast has a direct and significant impact on costly generating unit startups and shutdowns, energy purchases, managing system demand as well as scheduling system upgrades based on predicted load growth."
How do you calculate electrical maximum load for a domestic instalation?
yes
Feeders which supply continuous-duty circuits must be derated to what percent of the load served?
80
What is loss load factor?
A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.
How do electrical charges flow in a series circuit?
The eletrical current goes out of the positive end to the first load and uses a fraction of its power in the first load then continues to the second load and it does the same as the first load and then it either goes to the negative end or goes in more loads until it reaches the negative end.
What measured load can you put on an electrical panel?
If you have a measured continuous load of say 80 Amps, you would want to have a panel rated at 100 A. For continuous load you want to be at 80% of rated capacity.
What is the continuous working load on a 50 amp breaker?
As stated in the electrical code, circuits are to be loaded to 80 percent of the total capacity when operating in a continuous state..
What is the capacity in amperes 20 amp circuit breaker supplying a continuous load?
For a continuous load the circuit breaker is set 25% higher than the load current. So a 20-amp breaker is used with a continuous 16-amp load.
What is noncontinuous load?
A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.
What percentage of total intermittent device load is added to the continuous duty device load to compute the total system electrical load requirement?
I believe the NEC specifies 125% of the continous load plus 100% of the intermittent load. Depending on the specifics of your situation this may not be correct ( a different part of the NEC should be referenced).
What is An electrical load is?
Load is simply any thing which dissipate electrical energy.
Can Wiremold be use as a ground in short runs?
No. The individual pieces are not classed as a continuous raceway. A ground wire has to be installed from the source voltage to the load to comply with the electrical code rules.
The total load 75 amps is continuous what size breaker is required?
This depends on your local electrical code, however the National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code both state that you must derate circuits to 80% of their maximum electrical capacity, so for a load of 75 amps you must use overcurrent protection and wire rated for 93.5 amps, and since that doesn't exist you must upsize to 100 amps.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
Can you run electrical wire's in load bearing wall?
Yes, you can run electrical wires in a load bearing wall.
Can you have an 18 amp appliance on a 20 amp circuit?
You should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating for a continuous load. Therefore, the continuous load should not exceed 16 amps.
What other forms of energy can electrical energy be converted into by a load?
Anything device can transform electrical energy into other form of energy. This is called an electrical load.
