  • Continuous load ⇒ expected to run for three hours or more
• The minimum branch-circuit conductor size shall have an ampacity not less than the maximum load to be served after the application of any adjustment or correction factors in accordance with 310.15.
• Other Loads
  • Branch-circuit conductors that supply loads other than those specified in 210.3 and other than cooking appliances as covered in 210.19(C) shall have an ampacity sufficient for the loads served and shall not be smaller than 14 AWG.
