Audit one documented connected-load VA schedule against a source-labelled capacity basis and explicit percentage—without converting watts, selecting a breaker/circuit or declaring overload/compliance.
A quick decision brief for this specific tool
One de-identified reviewed connected-load schedule; named load and capacity sources; an already documented VA capacity and copied capacity percentage; and one through three complete groups with whole simultaneous quantity, VA per item and explicit multiplier
Source-preserving group VA, connected-load total, entered applied capacity, signed VA difference and capacity-use arithmetic
Sum whole quantity x entered VA per item x only the entered group multiplier and compare with entered capacity x its entered percentage; do not convert watts to VA, infer 180 VA or 80%, select a breaker/circuit or declare overload/compliance
Choose your path
Reproduce one source-labelled connected-load VA schedule against an already documented capacity basis and percentage without converting watts, selecting a circuit or declaring overload/compliance.
Sum explicit item groups without a generic form silently assigning 180 VA, 80% or one circuit treatment.
Name the load and capacity sources, copy up to three complete groups and inspect applied capacity versus connected total.
Can trace every VA and multiplier while circuit/protection selection remains in the complete design.
Distinguish apparent-power schedule arithmetic from watts, breaker capacity and a compliance conclusion.
Inspect source cards, whole quantities, VA-per-item values, both multiplier levels and the signed difference.
No W-to-VA assumption, available-watts claim, overload label or upgrade instruction is generated.
Learn why receptacle allowance, simultaneous equipment and continuous-load treatment cannot be inferred from a generic outlet count.
Run separate education records with explicit source-owned group and capacity percentages.
Can reproduce the arithmetic and list dedicated-circuit, conductor, protection and authority checks the tool omits.
Outputs and checklists are planning aids. Review the linked current authorities and the records, terms, instructions, and requirements that apply to your exact situation before a consequential decision.

Audit one documented protection-selection record from source-labelled current components, an explicit multiplier, an already selected device rating, and a documented conductor ampacity—without choosing a breaker or declaring compliance.
Reproduce one source-labelled electrical load schedule from connected volt-amperes and explicitly copied line multipliers—without choosing code factors or sizing a service, feeder, conductor or breaker.

The connected-load schedule owns item quantities, apparent-power values and group multipliers. The separate responsible calculation owns the capacity basis and applied percentage; neither is inferred from a breaker label.
Record = connected-load source + capacity sourceEvery group keeps its own name and source-owned multiplier. The tool never treats watts as VA, assigns 180 VA by outlet count or invents diversity/continuous-load treatment.
Group VA = whole simultaneous quantity × entered VA per item × entered multiplierPositive, zero or negative results are signed arithmetic only. They do not establish available watts, overload, circuit rating, dedicated-circuit requirements, conductor, protection or approval.
Difference = entered capacity × entered % − connected-load totalUpdated: August 2026
A reviewer copies workstation and printer groups in VA from an approved schedule, plus the separately documented applied capacity. The tool exposes group and total arithmetic without approving the circuit.
A designer uses measured or documented apparent-power values and explicit simultaneous quantities from a reviewed record. Watts, nameplate data and power factor must be reconciled by that source before entry.
An apprentice runs separate de-identified records with copied group/capacity percentages. A negative difference becomes a question for responsible review, not an automatic overload or upgrade instruction.
Reproduce the arithmetic in one reviewed connected-load record. Name the load and capacity sources, copy the already documented VA capacity and percentage, and enter up to three complete item groups with whole simultaneous quantity, VA per item and explicit multiplier. The result is an audit record, not a circuit-layout or protection decision.
