Branch circuits for lighting and for appliances, including motor..operated appliances, shall be provided to supply the loads computed in accordance with Section 220-3. In additio~ branch circuits shall be provided for specific loads not covered by Section 220-3 where required elsewhere in this Code and for dwelling unit loads as specified in (c). c_nt.lI!1j (a) Number of Branch Circuits. The minimum number of branch circuits shall be determined from the total computed load and the size or rating of the circuits used. In all installations, the number of circuits shall be sufficient to supply the load served. In no case shall the load on any circuit exceed the maximum specified by Section 220-4. (b) Load Evenly Proportioned Among Branch Circuits. Where the load is computed on a volt-amperes/square foot (0.093 m2) basis, the wiring system up to and including the branch-circuit panelboard(s) shall be provided to serve not less than the calculated load. This load shall be evenly proportioned among multioutlet branch circuits within the panelboard(s). Branch--circuit overcurrent devices and circuits need only be installed to serve the connected load. (c) Dwelling Units. (1) Small-Appliance Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this section, two or more 20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits shall be provided for all receptacle outlets specified by Section 21 0-52(b). (2) Laundry Branch Circuits. In addition to.the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this sectio~ at least one additional 2Q-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the laundry receptacle outlet(s) required by Section 210-52(t). This circuit shall have no other outlets. (3) Bathroom Branch Circuits. In addition to the number of branch circuits required by other parts of this section, at least one 20-ampere branch circuit shall be provided to supply the bathroom receptacle outlet(s). Such circuits shall have no other outlets. Exception: Where the 20-ampere circuit supplies a single bathroom, outlets for other equipment within the same bathroom shall be permitted to be supplied in accordance with Section 210-23(a). FPN: See Examples Dl(a), Dl(b), OO(b), and O4(a) in Appendix D. 11.210-52. Dwelling Unit Receptacle Outlets Receptacle outlets required by this section shall be in addition to any receptacle that is part of a lighting fixture or appliance, located within cabinets or cupboards, or located more than 5Y2 ft (1.68 m) above the floor. Permanently installed electric baseboard heaters equipped with factory-installed receptacle outlets or outlets provided as a separate assembly by the manufacturer shall be permitted as the required outlet or outlets for the wall space utilized by such permanently installed heaters. Such receptacle outlets shall not be connected to the heater circuits. FPN: Listed baseboard heaters include instructions that may not permit their installation below receptacle outlets, C_nta.,! (a) General Provisions. In every kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, parlor, library, den, sunroom, bedroom, recreation room, or similar room or area of dwelling units, receptacle outlets shall be installed in accordance with the general provisions specified in (1) through (3). (1) Spacing. Receptacles shall be installed so that no point along the floor line in any wall space is more than 6 ft (1.83 m), measured horizontally, from an outlet in that space. Receptacle outlets shall, insofar as practicable, be spaced equal distances apart. .. C_nta., i (2) Wall Space. As used in this section, a wall space shall include the following:
