For standard service entrance calculations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies that the first 3000 volt-amperes of the total load (which includes general lighting, small appliance circuits, and laundry circuits) should be computed at 100%. This is part of applying demand factors to accurately size the service or feeder capacity.
