Which NEC article discusses adjustment factors for more than 3 current
carrying conductors in a raceway? Right Ans - 310.15(C)(1)

Which NEC article discusses the correction factors for the ambient
temperature the conductors will pass through? Right Ans - 310.15(B)(1)

Which NEC article discusses the not mandatory rule of increasing conductor
size when voltage drop exceeds 3% for feeders and 5% for combination
feeder & branch circuits? Right Ans - 215.2(A)(1)(b) Informational Note
No. 2

A continuous duty load is a load that operates without interruption for more
than ______hours straight? Right Ans - 3

When figuring voltage drop, where do you find conductor resistance in the

to and including 2,000V Right Ans - 310.16

, How do you calculate load center length? Right Ans - Multiply each tap load
by its physical routing distance from the supply, add the product of these
together and divide them by sum of the individual loads (total load I)
producing load center length (L)

for a single-phase circuit

The formula I = VA/ (VX1.732) is for calculating what? Right Ans - Feeder
ampacity of a 3-phase circuit

How do you determine VA when given a value in KW? Right Ans - Multiply

Ahead of the point of supply

Which statement is true about the 10' tap rule? Right Ans - Tap conductors
cannot extend beyond the switchboard, panelboard, or control device it
supplies

Which statement is true about the 25' tap rule Right Ans - Must be rated no
less than 1/3 the capacity of the device protecting the feeder

Which statement is false about taps supplying a transformer - primary and
secondary not over 25'? Right Ans - Primary tap conductors must have an
ampacity of 1/4 the overcurrent device protecting the primary conductors.

According to NEC section 220.61, what would be the unbalanced load a
neutral would be subjected to if phase A carried 50A and phase B carried 40
amps? Right Ans - 10
