"What is the maximum number of convenience outlets for a 20-ampere circuit breaker?"

Each convenience outlet is typically assigned a load of 180 VA (volt-amperes) for calculation purposes.

A 20A circuit at 230V has a maximum capacity of 4,600 VA (20A × 230V).

Applying the 80% rule for continuous loads (to avoid overheating), the usable load is 3,680 VA.

So, 3,680 VA ÷ 180 VA = approximately 20 outlets.

Rule of thumb: You can install up to 20 convenience outlets on a 20A circuit, provided the total expected load doesn’t exceed 80% of the circuit’s capacity.

That said, if the outlets are expected to power high-demand appliances (like microwaves or air conditioners), the number should be reduced accordingly.
