(3) An outlet supplying recessed lighting fixture(s) shall be the maximum volt-ampere rating of the equipment and lamps for which the fixture(s) is rated.
(4) Outlet for heavy-duty lampholder
600 volt-amperes.
(5) Track Lighting. See Section 410-102.
(6) Other outlets*
180 volt-amperes per outlet.
For receptacle outlets, each single or each multiple receptacle on one
strap shall be considered at not less than 180 volt-amperes.
*This provision shall not be applicable to receptacle outlets connected to
the circuit specified in Section 220-4(b).
Exception No. 1: Where fixed multioutlet assemblies are employed,
each 5 feet (1.52 m) or fraction thereof of each separate and continuous
length shall be considered as one outlet of not less than 180 volt-amperes
capacity; except in locations where a number of appliances are likely to be
used simultaneously, each 1 foot (305 mm) or fraction thereof shall be
considered as an outlet of not less than 180 volt-amperes. The requirements of this exception shall not apply to dwelling unit(s) or the guest
rooms of hotels or motels.
Exception No. 2: Table 220-19 shall be permitted for computing the load
of household electric ranges.
Exception No. 3: A load of not less than 200 volt-amperes per linear
foot (305 mm) of show window, measured horizontally along its base, shall
be permitted instead of the specified unit load per outlet.
Exception No. 4: The loads of outlets serving switchboards and switching frames in telephone exchanges shall be waived from the computations.
Exception No. 5: Section 220-18 shall be considered as a permitted
method of computing the load for a household electric clothes dryer.
(d) Loads for Additions to Existing Installations.
(1) Dwelling Units. Loads for structural additions to an existing dwelling unit or to a previously unwired portion of an existing dwelling unit,
either of which exceeds 500 square feet (46.5 sq m), shall be computed in
accordance with (b) above. Loads for new circuits or extended circuits in
previously wired dwelling units shall be computed in accordance with
either (b) or (c) above.
(2) Other than Dwelling Units. Loads for new circuits or extended circuits in other than dwelling units shall be computed in accordance with
either (b) or (c) above.
