Code Question of the Month

You are sizing a 120/240V single phase service for a condominium with 16 units.  What is the minimum load demand (in kw) for cooking equipment that can be used?
The cooking appliances will be as follows:
16 units will have a 2.25kw cooktop located on the kitchen island
8 units will have a 3.5kw single oven located in the same room
8 units will have  a 5.75 double oven located in the same room
each unit will have one feeder for both appliances
A.  110kw
B.  53.26kw
C.  42.9kw
D.  34.76kw
E. 34.1kw
The correct answer is D.  34.76kw
(column C cannot be used for this calculation because the combined loads for any one unit is not over 8.75kw)
16 x 2.25kw = 36kw (x 39% = 14.04kw) column A
8 x 5.75kw = 46kw
8 x 3.5kw = 28kw
46kw + 28kw = 74kw (x 28% = 20.72kw) column B
20.72kw + 14.04kw = 34.76kw

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
