A) 18.8 kW
B) 22.4 kW
C) 26.6 kW
D) 30.2 kW
E) 34.8 kW

Answer 1

The feeder demand load for the commercial kitchen equipment in the restaurant is the sum of the power requirements of each piece of equipment, totaling 26.6 kW. The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the feeder demand load in kilowatts (kW) for the specified commercial kitchen equipment, one must add up the power requirements of each individual piece of equipment. The equipment and power ratings provided are:

• One 12-kW range
• One 2.8-kW mixer
• One 4.2-kW deep fryer
• Two 0.8-kW soup wells (1.6 kW combined)
• One 6-kW water heater

Adding these values together, we get:

12 kW (range) + 2.8 kW (mixer) + 4.2 kW (deep fryer) + 1.6 kW (two soup wells) + 6 kW (water heater) = 26.6 kW.

Therefore, the feeder demand load for this restaurant's commercial kitchen equipment is 26.6 kW, which corresponds to option C in the given choices.
