A service calculation is limited to 146 amperes and already includes 96 amperes of noncontinuous load. With the remainder carried at 125 percent, what continuous load can be included?

A service calculation is limited to 146 amperes and already includes 96 amperes of noncontinuous load. With the remainder carried at 125 percent, what continuous load can be included?

40 amperes
B50 amperes
C32 amperes
D62.5 amperes

Why A is correct

Subtract the noncontinuous load first: 146 − 96 = 50 amperes of calculated allowance. Dividing that allowance by 1.25 gives 40 amperes of actual continuous load.
