This question is for code book understanding. Article 220 is reasonably clear as to the definition of continuous and non-continuous loads and how they affect the size of feeders and services.
My question is,
"How does the NEC expect the designer/engineer to treat the loads that have been decreased due to a Demand Factor elsewhere in the Code?"
A very clear example of my question comes from Table 220-20, Kitchen Equipment. After a demand factor of 65% is applied to six pieces of kitchen equipment, is this demand load considered continuous or non-continuous?
