For show window loads calculated by the foot, what is the minimum load that shall be included for each one foot of show window?

When calculating show window loads by the foot, the electrical code specifies a minimum load that must be included for each linear foot of the show window. This requirement is set to ensure that there is adequate lighting and electrical capacity for the display areas.

The correct choice of 200 VA represents a standard load requirement that reflects typical power usage for proper illumination and visibility of products displayed in show windows. This value is used widely in the industry to ensure safety and functionality in commercial display situations.

The specification of 200 VA per foot considers not only the lighting but also any additional devices or displays that may be incorporated into the show window. Following this guideline helps ensure that there is enough power available, thus preventing overloading circuits and ensuring that the display remains appealing and functional. This load consideration is pivotal for effective design and compliance with electrical installations in retail settings.
