Question

You have been hired by a homework to install a celling fan and light kit in a leaving room.The living room luminaire(light fixture) being used at present contains two 60-W lamps. After locating the circuit in the panel box, you find that the circuit is protected by 15-A circuit breaker and is run with 15 AWG copper wire. After turning on all lights connected to this circuit, you have a current draw of 8.6 A and a voltage of 120 V. The celling dan light kit contains four 60-W lapms, and the fan has a maximum current draw of 1.6 A. Can this fan be connected to the existing living room circuit? Recall that a continuous-use circuit should not be loaded to more than 80% of its rated capacity.
