Given: A one-family dwelling unit with a demand load of 200 amperes is supplied with a
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
120/240 volt, single-phase, electrical system from the local utility company. What is the

MINIMUM size aluminum THW conductors required for use as service-entrance
II II II II II II II II II II
conductors for this residence?
II II II II
a. 1/0 AWGII II

c. 3/0 AWGII II
d. 2/0 AWG - 4/0 AWG
II II II II II II II
Section 310.15(B)(7)(1) permits one-family dwelling 120/240 volt, single-phase, service-
II II II II II II II II
entrance conductors to be sized at an ampacity of not less than 83% of the service rating.
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
Therefore, 200 amperes x 83% = 166 amperesTable 310.15(B)(16) indicates size 4/0
II II II II II II II II II II II II
AWG THW aluminum conductors with an allowable ampacity of 180 amperes should be

selected for this dwelling.
II II II II
Where a 150 kVA, single-phase transformer having a secondary voltage of 120/240 is
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
installed at a multi-family dwelling, the full-load current rating, in amperes, of the

secondary is _____.
II II II
a. 625 amperes
II II
b. 265 amperes
II II
c. 526 amperes
II II
d. 1250 amperes - 625 ampreres
II II II II II II II
To find the full-load current rating of the single-phase transformer apply the single-phase
II II II II II II II II II II II II
current formula as shown:
II II II II
I = (150 kVA x 1000) / 240 volts = 15,000/240 = 625 amperes

The MINIMUM length of free conductor to be left at each junction box for the purpose of
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
splicing conductors, or making connections to luminaires or devices shall be _____ .a. 4
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
