It is continuous.
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.
A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.
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.
For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.
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.
A continuous load is a constant load. A noncontinuous load is one that varies over time.
That depends on the direction in wich you apply the load. If the Load is applied in the direction of the lenght of the continuous fibre this is definitely the case. However if the load is applied perpendicular on the fibre direction of the continuous fibre the CSM will be the one with the higher strenght of the two.
The general rule of thumb is to size a breaker at 150% of the continuous load or 125% of the non-continuous load. For a 20 amp breaker, this means it can handle a maximum of 16 amps for a continuous load and 20 amps for a non-continuous load, such as a lightning load.
Any continuous load shouldn't exceed the rated capacity of the transformer, expressed in volt amperes.
As stated in the electrical code, circuits are to be loaded to 80 percent of the total capacity when operating in a continuous state..
A continuous load on a breaker refers to a consistent electrical draw at or near the maximum capacity of the circuit over an extended period of time. This differs from intermittent or fluctuating loads, which have varying power demands. It is important to properly size breakers for continuous loads to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
