If we have 20-ampere circuit breakers. The number of circuits to the larger whole number is: 13.

<h3>Number of circuits</h3>

Receptacles on a single strap= 180 VA each.

Hence,

VA of the circuit=(Volts x Amperes)/One receptacle

Let plug in the formula

VA of the circuit=(120 volts x 20 amperes)/180 VA

VA of the circuit= 2,400 VA (circuit)/180 VA

VA of the circuit = 13 circuits

Therefore the number of circuits to the larger whole number is: 13.
