What is the total nameplate load (in kW) of two 3 kW cooktops and one 5 kW wall-mounted oven?

• A. 11 kW
• B. 9 kW
• C. 12 kW
• D. 13 kW

Answer: (A)

The total nameplate load is found by adding each appliance’s rated power. Two cooktops at 3 kW each contribute 6 kW, and the 5 kW wall-mounted oven adds another 5 kW. 6 kW + 5 kW equals 11 kW. So the total nameplate load is 11 kW. In real installations, you might apply diversity factors if not all appliances run at once, but the basic calculation uses the simple sum.
