Greetings,

Is there still a requirement for a minimum service size for 6 or more circuits in a residence to be a 100 amp per the 2011 NEC? If so, where is it found? Some cycles back it used to be in 230-42. I cant find it anymore.

thanksabunch

Every group that passes through my basic training program learns about Charlie's Rule. I call it the 'heart and soul of Code Enforcement'.
 
north star, My instructors used to quote (sometimes misquote) this all the time.

Charlie’s Rule of Technical Reading

It doesn’t say what you think it says, nor what you remember it to have said, nor what you were told that it says, and certainly not what you want it to say, and if by chance you are its author, it doesn’t say what you intended it to say. Then what does it say? It says what it says. So if you want to know what it says, stop trying to remember what it says, and don’t ask anyone else. Go back and read it, and pay attention as though you were reading it for the first time.
