How many Outlets can you put on a 14-2
In the U.S. the NEC has no limit on the number of outlets per circuit for residential, some county's do or have had a limit based on the commercial limits of 180va per yoke or strap. since the question says 14 gauge wire we use 80% max draw or 12 amps. So the counties that impose this limit use 8 as the maximum for 15 amp circuits and 10 as the max for a 20 amp circuit, or this is how the county I live in did it until the last code cycle where they now use the NEC and there is not a limit to residential outlets. There is an example in the code book that shows 10 outlets on a 15 and 13 on a 20 because they were allowed to use 100% but my county used to require the derate because the ampacity of the wire is supposed to be 125% for continuous loads or loads that are running for 3 hours or longer.
