The ampacity of a conductor is defined by the NEC to be the maximum current,
in amperes, a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use
without exceeding ______?
It’s temperature rating
Disconnect switch enclosure installed in a Class II, Division 2 location shall be
listed as _____?

load running current rating of _____?
143 amperes
, What is the MAXIMUM distance that a disconnect switch is permitted to be
located from the operator's station for a portable carnival ride?
6 feet
Determine the MINIMUM trade size electrical metallic tubing (EMT) required
to enclose eight (8) size 6 AWG copper conductors with THHW insulation,
when installed in a 50 foot conduit run?
1 1/4 in.
Where exceptions are not applicable, when a feeder supplies a continuous load
of 240 amperes, the overcurrent protection device protecting this circuit shall
have a rating of at LEAST _____?
300 amperes
Liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) shall be securely fastened WITHIN
_____ of each box or other conduit termination?
12 inches
Where a pull box to be installed will contain conductors of size 4 AWG and
larger, and a straight pull of the conductors is to be made, the length of the
box shall NOT be less than ____times the trade diameter of the largest conduit
entering the box.
