220-36. Optional Calculation - New Restaurants. Calculation of a service load or feeder, where the feeder serves the total load, for a new restaurant shall be permitted in accordance with Table 220-36 in lieu of Part B
of this article.
The overload protection of the service-entrance conductors shall be in
accordance with Sections 230-90 and 240-3.
Feeder conductors shall not be required to be of greater ampacity than
1
the service-entrance conductors.
Service-entrance or feeder conductors whose demand load is determined
by this optional calculation shall be permitted to have the neutral load
determined by Section 220-22.

D. Method for Computing Farm Loads
220-40. Farm Loads - Buildings and Other Loads.
(a) Dwelling Unit. The feeder or service load of a farm dwelling unit
shall be computed in accordance with the provisions for dwellings in Part
B or C of this article. Where the dwelling has electric heat and the farm has
electric grain drying systems, Part C of this article shall not be used to
compute the dwelling load.
(b) Other than Dwelling Unit. For each farm building or load supplied
by two or more branch circuits, the load for feeders, service-entrance conductors, and service equipment shall be computed in accordance with
demand factors not less than indicated in Table 220-40.
(FPN): See Section 230-21 for overhead conductors from a pole to a building or
other structure.
220-41. Farm Loads - Total. The total load of the farm for serviceentrance conductors and service equipment shall be computed in accordance with the farm dwelling unit load and demand factors specified in
70-64

Table 220-41. Where there is equipment in two or more farm equipment
buildings or for loads having the same function, such loads shall be
computed in accordance with Table 220-40 and shall be permitted to be
combined as a single load in Table 220-41 for computing the total load.

To this total load, add the load of the farm dwelling unit computed in accordance with Part
B or C of this article. Where the dwelling has electric heat and the farm has electric grain
drying systems, Part C of this article shall not be used to compute the dwelling load.
