    This document discusses NEC Article 220 and the load capacities of different types of receptacles. It provides that a single or duplex receptacle has a load of 180VA, a triple has 180VA, and a double duplex or quad has 360VA since it is calculated as 90VA per receptacle times the number of receptacles. The maximum number of receptacles on a small appliance branch circuit with a load of 1500VA is 8 since 1500VA/180VA per receptacle equals 8 receptacles. The document recommends having no more than 6 receptacles on a circuit as best practice.
