Here's hoping that not bringing a mess of bizarre questions to the party (like I did) will help get you some good answers. If you do start your own thread I look forward to any help you get. Sorry that I'm in no position to offer any advice but I would like to pick your brain on a couple points...

Believe me, your point wasn't missed. Without having gone through the calculations I'm fairly certain 100 amps is going to be more than adequate for what I'd like to add. I really wish I could get some answers to those questions in my original post from back on 6/5, just to satisfy my curiousity...

As it happens, I am attempting to do a load calc for a 1,200 sq ft house w/100 amp service and an existing 60 amp sub-panel serving the kitchen, bath and a few other dedicated circuits. The main panel is in a location and is of a design that won't easily permit the addition of circuits I'll need...

Hi I'm new here and reviving an old thread because my questions are closely related to the subject matter already covered here. Load calculations: I'm a bit concerned with the number of discrepancies in methods depending on the source; it's almost as if there is no single, universally accepted...
