You're talking about an MSP. An MSP = main service panel. PANEL. MSB = main service breaker. All breakers are to be derated to 80% if used 100% for more than 3 hours, unless specifically rated for 100% use 24/7. Why do you need to know what page it is? Why are you so reluctant to admit that everyone is right and you're wrong about the MSB? (seems this isn't the first time you've argued about this judging from your earlier comment)
Instead of asking me for more proof and telling me you don't want opinions, prove to me that a MSB doesn't have to be derated. Your opinion doesn't count. I want cold hard facts as proof. Until then, please don't endanger people with advice that you're not 100% sure about, and please consider your own safety in regards to running your own MSB at 100%.
I agree with Prelude on this. 80% continuous load is the universal rule of thumb. just because a breaker *can* handle continuous 100% load, or rated to handle as much as >120% surges before tripping, does not mean you should operate at max.
sure, the rules generally consider applications with longer, poorly ventilated wire runs (such as the walls of an older home), but if you care about safety you can just spend another $100-200 to put in an extra breaker and wire run. Its a lot better than risking >$50,000 in fire damage if something fails.
found this:
"If you have a branch circuit supplying nothing but �continuous loads,� then the minimum conductor size must have an ampacity of 125% of the load � 210.19(A)(1) � and the overcurrent protection must be 125% of the load � 210.20(A). Therefore, the breaker must be loaded to no more than 80% of its rating."
The things are rigged/designed to trip at their designated limit.
You can design a build than can handle and goes at or higher than "100%", then sure, but you're still going to trip the thing 4 times a day. If it doesnt trip, its because something is wrong and you might start smelling something called your whole place bursting into flames.
80% is a good safety standard for most electric stuff, both for handling spikes and for continuous loads.
Beside certain PSU, like the EVGA G2 which can handle 1200Watts but are labeled EVGA G2 1000w, 100% load is usually bad.
