Computation of Loads

The document contains computations of loads and circuit details for 12 circuits of a home. It calculates the wattage, amperage, required wire gauge, and pipe size for lighting outlets, convenience outlets, and appliances including air conditioners, a refrigerator, and range. It then computes the main breaker size as 85A based on the total connected load of 16842W plus 25% of the largest motor load.
