I am currently working on a 400 square ft. ADU for a client.
He originally designed it for to use propane for hot water and cooking.
He ran 1 1/2" conduit from main panel planning on 100 amp panel.
He now wants to eliminate propane and go all electric.
Loads are: mini split-19A, water htr.-18.75A, dryer-22.5A, range-40A. Total amps 100.25
Using the 120% rule he would then only have room for one more 20 A circuit.
Is this correct? It seems I have seen panels loaded up more than 120% a lot and in situations that were professionally done and inspected.
