You have been hired by a homeowner to install a ceiling fan and light kit in a living room. The living room luminaire (light fixture) being used at the present time contains two 60-W lamps. After locating the circuit in the panel box, you find that the circuit is protected by a 15-A circuit breaker and is run with 14 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 ceiling fan light kit contains four 60-W lamps, 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.
