Question

What is the maximum load that is permitted in a power circuit and lighting circuit

Answer 1

Maximum Load vs. Safe Load. As a rule, no one device or series of devices should draw a continuous load of more than 80 percent of the circuit's available current. For example, a 15-amp circuit at 120 volts produces a maximum of 1,800 watts. No more than 1,440 of that should be used continuously.

Answer 2

POWER AND LIGHTING CIRCUIT

Maximum load that is permitted in a power and lighting circuit is 3000 watts.

GETTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT  POWER CIRCUITS:

* Any circuit that carries electricity and operates a load is referred to as a power circuit. Although this may appear to be a straightforward concept, it is critical to distinguish between power and control circuits since they serve distinct objectives.

* A power circuit is illustrated with an outlet for the source, two wires for the path, a switch for the control device, and a motor for the load. When the switch is closed, electrons travel via the channel, passing directly through the motor windings, causing the motor to turn on. The switch wired directly in series with the motor is the only circuit control in this circuit.
