Electrical Panel Load Calculator

Estimate the total ampere demand on an electrical panel by applying NEC-style load factors to lighting, receptacle, appliance, and motor circuits, then check it against the panel's main breaker rating. Ideal for panel schedule design, load additions, and service upgrade evaluations.
