Load Derating

A load derating applies when multiple devices are installed in an electrical box. The derating for the device is determined by the number of devices and their location within the box.

  • Single: One device in a 1-gang electrical box.
  • Side Position: A device placed in the left or right side of a 2-gang or larger electrical box.
  • Middle Position: A device placed between two other devices in a 3-gang or larger electrical box.

Refer to the table below for the device derating information.
