<br />..210-11. Branch Circuits Required <br /> <br />Branch circuits for lighting and for appliances, including motor-operated appliances, shall be provided to supply <br />the loads computed in accordance with Section 220-3. In addition, branch circuits shall be provided for specific <br />loads not covered by Section 220-3 where required elsewhere in this Code and for dwelling unit loads as <br />specified in (c )'c~;';t:~'1 <br /> <br />(a) Number of Branch Circuits. The minimum number of branch circuits shall be determined from the total <br />computed load and the size or rating of the circuits used. In all installations, the number of circuits shall be <br />sufficient to supply the load served. In no case shall the load on any circuit exceed the maximum specified by <br />Section 220-4. <br /> <br />(b) Load Evenly Proportioned Among Branch Circuits. Where the load is computed on a <br />volt-amperes/square foot (0.093 m2) basis, the wiring system up to and including the branch-circuit <br />panelboard(s) shall be provided to serve not less than the calculated load. This load shall be evenly proportioned <br />among multi outlet branch circuits within the panelboard(s). Branch-circuit overcurrent devices and circuits need <br />only be installed to serve the connected load. <br /> <br />(c) Dwelling Units. <br /> <br />(1) Small-Appliance Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of <br />this section, two or more 20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits shall be provided for all receptacle outlets <br />specified by Section 21 0-52(b). <br /> <br />(2) Laundry Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this <br />section, at least one additional 20-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the laundry receptacle <br />outlet(s) required by Section 210-52(f). This circuit shall have no other outlets. <br /> <br />(3) Bathroom Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this <br />section, at least one 20-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the bathroom receptacle outlet(s). <br />Such circuits shall have no other outlets. <br /> <br />Exception: Where the 20-ampere circuit supplies a single bathroom, outlets for other equipment within the <br />same bathroom shall be permitted to be supplied in accordance with Section 210-23(a). <br /> <br />FPN: See Examples Dl(a), Dl(b), D2(b), and D4(a) in Appendix D. <br /> <br />..210-70. Lighting Outlets Required <br />Lighting outlets shall be installed where specified in (a), (b), and (c). <br />(a) Dwelling Units. In dwelling units, lighting outlets shall be installed in accordance with (1), (2), and (3). <br />(1) Habitable Rooms. At least one wall switch-controlled lighting outlet shall be installed in every habitable <br />room and bathroom. <br /> <br />Exception No.1: In other than kitchens and bathrooms, one or more receptacles controlled by a wall switch <br />shall be permitted in lieu of lighting outlets'c~~t.aI'!.'1 <br /> <br />Exception No.2: Lighting outlets shall be permitted to be controlled by occupancy sensors that are (1) in <br />addition to wall switches or (2) located at a customary wall switch location and equipped with a manual <br />
