a. 12.5 Amps
b. 12.5 Ohms
c. 14.6 Amps
d. 14.6 Volts
Give this one a try later!
c. 14.6 Amps (not Volts!!)
,What is the minimum ampere interrupting capacity (AIC) for main overcurrent
protection on a battery bank rated at more than 2200 CCA or more than 500 Ahr?
Give this one a try later!
AIC = 2X mnfg's short-circuit rating or 100X nominal Ahr rating.

a. 5 mA
,T or F: Generators that are "self-limiting" do not require overcurrent protection if the
conductors used are of sufficient ampacity and sized for maximum current available.
Give this one a try later!
True (provided the generator's self-limiting current, AKA "overload
current", does not exceed 120% of it's rated current output)
A customer has a 600 Ah 'house' battery bank and wants to recharge with the highest
amperage (standard flooded batteries are being used). How high amperage is
