3. 105.4 amperes
4. 106.2 amperes - correct answer 2. 94.2 amperes
According to the NEC, what would be the minimum size for the secondary conductors of
a 10 kva transformer operating at 480/240 volt single-phase configuration?
1. 8 AWG
2. 10 AWG
3. 12 AWG
4. 14 AWG - correct answer 1. 8 AWG
,What would be minimum ampacity required to supply the following group of motors
running at 208-volts,
Three-phase?

If a branch circuit supplies a single non-motor-operated appliance that is marked and
rated at 20A, then the rating of overcurrent protection for the circuit shall not be greater
than how many amperes?
1. 30 amperes
2. 35 amperes
3. 40 amperes
4. 45 amperes - correct answer 1. 30 amperes
Using both Ohm's law and the National Electrical code as a reference for resistance,
calculate the voltage. Drop of the conductors that serve the following circuit load:
- Service: 230 VAC Power: Single-phase
- Load: 5,950 Volt-Amperes - Length: 450 feet (one-way)
- Conductors: 6 AWG
Raceway: Intermediate Metal Conduit
1. 22.50 volts
2. 16.97 volts
3. 11.25 volts
4 5.72 volts - correct answer 3. 11.25 volts
, The allowable ampacity of conductors must be reduced for Ambient Temperature
Correction, and Adjustment Factors, using the derating tables of the National Electrical
Code. Therefore, what would be the maximum conductor ampacity per wire permitted
given the following installation?

3. 25 amperes. - correct answer 1. 40 amperes
According to Table 220.55 Note 4, "the branch-circuit load for a counter-mounted
cooking unit (8 kw) and two wall-mounted ovens (7 kw and 8 kw), all supplied from a
single branch circuit and located in the same room, shall be calculated by adding the
nameplate rating of the individual appliances and treating this total as equivalent to one
range." Therefore, what is the demand load in KVA on the service?
1. 32.00 KVA
2. 12.65 kva
3. 8.00 kva
4. 4.40 KVA - correct answer 2. 12.65 KVA
