What is the total load center length for a tapped feeder with loads of 120a at
50 feet, 110a at 60 feet, 75a and 90 feet, and 70 amps at 150 feet? Right
Ans - •120a x 50ft = 6000
, •110a x 60ft = 6600
•75a x 90ft = 6750
•70a x 150ft = 10,500
•6000+6600+6750+10,500 = 29,850
•120a+110a+75a+70a = 375a
•29,a = 79.6 ft load center length
The minimum ampacity for a feeder supplying ten 30a shore power
receptacles in a marina is _____ per NEC table 555.12 Right Ans - •Table
555.12
•9-14 receptacles @ 80%
•10 receptacles x 30a = 300a
•Apply the demand factor from 555.12 300a x 80% = 240a
The minimum ampacity for a feeder supplying (30) shore power receptacles
in a marina each rated at 30a is _____ per NEC table 555.12. Right Ans -
•Table 555.12
•15-30 receptacles @ 70%
•30 receptacles x 30a = 900a
•Apply the demand factor from 555.12 900a x 70% = 630a
•What is the total load for a feeder serving
•(4) 2 horsepower motors 7.5a
•(3) 5 horsepower Motors16.7a
•(1) 15 horsepower 46.2a motor
•(1) 25 horsepower motor ? 74.8a
•(all Motors are 208 volts) Right Ans - •Use Table 430.250
•7.5 amps x 4 = 30a
•16.7amps x 3 = 50.1a
• 46.2 amps x 1= 46.2a
• 74.8 amps x 100% = 74.8
•74.8a x .25% = 18.7a (add additional 25% for largest motor load)
•30+50.1+46.2+74.8+18.7=219.8a or 30+50.1+46.2+93.5 = 219.8a
What is the feeder ampacity for a three phase, 120/208 Volt subpanel with a
connected load of 84,563 Volt amps? Right Ans - •84,563 va / 208volts =
406.5522
•Don't forget it's three phase! = 1.732
•406..732 = 234.89a
