[RE-wrenches] Engineered Solution to 705.12

[Blake Gleason]

Yes, basically just verifying that the loads will not exceed the busbar
rating, with some safety factor/cushion based on judgement and available
data.  For example, in a controlled industrial situation with years worth
of 15-minute demand data showing consistent demand, a relatively small
cushion.
