Uses the NEC 2023 Article 220.82 optional method for a single 120/240V dwelling service rated 100A or more; it is not valid for other configurations or for feeder/branch sizing. This is an estimate, not an engineered load calc or a code determination. A licensed electrician or the AHJ must verify the load, the panel bus and breaker capacity, and the nameplates. A pass here does not guarantee open breaker spaces or utility capacity.
