For load calculations, does one add in 125% for general lighting load due to continuous duty. I looked in Article 220, but cannot find anything about adding 125% for general lighting load. The only thing I found is NEC 210.19 (1) for continuous load for branch circuits, but nothing pointed out about always using 125% for general lighting loads.
The reason I ask is I have an old sample exam that always shows adding 125% for general lighting loads, but I am having difficulty validating this solution. Is it possible the solution is wrong, or this was done using an older version of the NEC which was ok back then or am I missing something?
