(A) In accordance with NEC § 220-15, if an under-sized electrical service is installed, full capacity operation will reduce the electric power available to appliances. If overloading the service is severe enough it can cause conductor heating, contribute to insulation breakdown, and cause a fire hazard. To avoid overloading the electrical service, especially where electrical space heating equipment is to be installed, service load calculations shall be mandatory.
(B) The electrician applying for the electrical inspection permit shall be responsible for submitting an accurate architectural-electrical plan together with service load calculations.
