1. A service disconnecting means for a one-family dwelling shall have a rating of
not less than which of the following?
A) 60 amperes
B) 80 amperes
C) 100 amperes
D) 125 amperes


Correct Answer: C – *Rationale: NEC 230.79(C) requires a one-family dwelling
service disconnecting means to have a rating of at least 100 amperes.*


2. When grounding electrode conductors are connected to a metal underground
water pipe, the supplemental grounding electrode required by the NEC must be
bonded to the water pipe within how many feet of its entrance to the building?
A) 3 ft
B) 5 ft
C) 10 ft
D) 15 ft


Correct Answer: B – Rationale: NEC 250.53(D)(2) requires the supplemental
electrode to be bonded within 5 feet of where the water pipe enters the building.

,3. In a dwelling unit, what is the minimum clearance for overhead service
conductors passing over a roof that is not accessible to pedestrians?
A) 3 ft
B) 6 ft
C) 8 ft
D) 10 ft


Correct Answer: C – Rationale: NEC 230.24(A) exception No. 2 allows 8 ft
clearance over a roof with slope exceeding 4 in 12, but only for a limited distance.


4. The maximum allowable voltage drop for a combination of feeder and branch
circuit conductors supplying a sensitive electronic load is:
A) 2%
B) 3%
C) 5%
D) 10%


Correct Answer: C – Rationale: NEC 210.19(A) Informational Note No. 4 suggests
3% for branch circuits and 5% total for feeder and branch circuit combined.


5. A continuous load is defined by the NEC as a load where the maximum current
is expected to continue for at least:
A) 1 hour
B) 2 hours
C) 3 hours
D) 4 hours

,Correct Answer: C – Rationale: NEC 100 definition of continuous load – 3 hours
or more.


6. What is the required clearance for a 480-volt open wiring on insulators above a
commercial flat roof that is subject to pedestrian traffic?
A) 8 ft
B) 10 ft
C) 12 ft
D) 15 ft


Correct Answer: B – Rationale: NEC 225.18 requires 10 ft clearance over roofs
subject to pedestrian traffic for circuits over 600V, but for 480V NEC 225.19(A)
similarly requires 10 ft.


7. A 150 kVA, 3-phase, 480-volt delta-delta transformer has a full-load primary
current closest to:
A) 90 A
B) 180 A
C) 210 A
D) 250 A


Correct Answer: B – *Rationale: I = 150,000 VA / (480V × √3) = 150,.4
= 180.4 A.*


8. When using the standard method for dwelling unit load calculation, which
demand factor applies to the first 10 kVA of the general lighting load?
A) 50%

, B) 75%
C) 100%
D) 125%


Correct Answer: C – Rationale: NEC 220.42 applies 100% demand factor to first
10 kVA of general lighting load in dwelling units.


9. A 20-ampere branch circuit shall not supply more than how many 15-ampere
rated duplex receptacles in a commercial building?
A) 8
B) 10
C) 12
D) 13


Correct Answer: B – *Rationale: NEC 220.14(I) and Table 220.12 use 180 VA per
receptacle, so 20A × 120V = 2400 VA / 180 = 13 max; but common exam answer
is 10 for general non-dwelling.*


10. The minimum size equipment grounding conductor required for a 400-ampere
feeder with 250 kcmil copper conductors is:
A) 6 AWG copper
B) 4 AWG copper
C) 2 AWG copper
D) 1/0 AWG copper


Correct Answer: C – Rationale: NEC Table 250.122 for 400A OCPD requires 2
AWG copper equipment grounding conductor.
