C. 3 AWG
D. 4 AWG - ANSWERC. 3 AWG
Given: You have determined a conductor has a computed allowable ampacity of 75 amperes. What is
the MAXIMUM standard ampere rating of the overcorrect protection device the NEC* permits to
protect this circuit? Assume this is not a motor circuit or part of a branch-circuit supplying more than
one receptacle.
