1. A contractor is performing service work on a 480-volt, 3-phase switchgear. The
available fault current at the equipment is 65,000 amperes. The contractor is
utilizing a maintenance bypass switch. What is the MINIMUM short-circuit
current rating (SCCR) required for the bypass switch and associated components?
A) 50,000 amperes
B) 65,000 amperes
C) 75,000 amperes
D) 100,000 amperes
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: Equipment intended for use on a circuit with a known available fault
current must have a short-circuit current rating sufficient for the installation. The
rating must be equal to or greater than the maximum available fault current at the
point of installation to prevent catastrophic failure under fault conditions, as per
general equipment listing and labeling requirements (NEC 110.9).
2. A commercial kitchen requires the installation of a new electric oven. The
nameplate rating is 208V, 1-phase, 12kW. What is the MINIMUM branch circuit
conductor ampacity required for this continuous load before the application of any
adjustment or correction factors?
A) 57.7 amperes
B) 62.5 amperes
,C) 72.1 amperes
D) 80.0 amperes
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: Calculate the current: I = P/E = 12,000W / 208V = 57.7A. Since this is a
continuous load, the branch circuit must be sized at 125% of the load (NEC
210.19(A)(1)). 57.7A × 1.25 = 72.1A.
3. An electrical contractor is installing a new service for a strip mall. The utility
requires a service entrance rated disconnect. The contractor installs a fused
disconnect switch that is rated for 600V, 400A, and is marked "Suitable for use as
service equipment." What is the MINIMUM clearance requirement in front of this
equipment if the voltage to ground is 120/240V and the equipment is not likely to
be worked on while energized?
A) 24 inches
B) 30 inches
C) 36 inches
D) 42 inches
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: Table 110.26(A)(1) requires a minimum working space of 3 feet (36
inches) for equipment operating at 151 to 600 volts nominal, where the voltage to
ground is not over 150V, and condition 2 (dead-front) applies. For 120/240V, the
voltage to ground is 120V, thus requiring 3 feet.
4. A farm building has a 120/240-volt, single-phase feeder. The feeder is run in
rigid metal conduit (RMC) and is buried directly in the earth. What is the
MINIMUM cover depth required for this installation?
A) 6 inches
,B) 12 inches
C) 18 inches
D) 24 inches
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Rationale: Table 300.5, Column 1, for direct burial cables or conductors in RMC,
the minimum cover depth for 0 to 600 volts is 6 inches for rigid metal conduit.
5. A 200-ampere, 120/240-volt, 3-wire single-phase service is being installed for a
single-family dwelling. Which of the following configurations is acceptable for the
grounding electrode system if the building has a metal underground water pipe that
is in contact with the earth for 10 feet?
A) The metal underground water pipe alone
B) A single ground rod driven 8 feet into the earth
C) The metal underground water pipe supplemented by a ground rod
D) A concrete-encased electrode (UFER) alone
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: A metal underground water pipe that is in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet is always required to be used as a grounding electrode if
available (NEC 250.52(A)(1)). However, it must be supplemented by an additional
electrode of a type specified in 250.52(A)(2) through (A)(8), such as a ground rod
(NEC 250.53(D)(2)).
6. What is the MAXIMUM allowable distance between support straps for a 2-inch
electrical metallic tubing (EMT) conduit run in a commercial building?
A) 5 feet
B) 10 feet
, C) 12 feet
D) 16 feet
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: Table 344.30(B)(2) specifies the maximum distance between supports
for rigid metal conduit (RMC). The question asks for EMT, which is covered in
Table 358.30(B). For EMT sized 1 inch to 4 inches, the maximum spacing is 10
feet.
7. A 3-phase, 4-wire, 208Y/120-volt panelboard is located in a commercial office.
The panelboard is rated 225A. What is the MINIMUM size of the equipment
grounding conductor required to feed this panel if the conductors are protected by a
200A overcurrent device?
A) #6 AWG
B) #4 AWG
C) #3 AWG
D) #2 AWG
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Rationale: Based on Table 250.122, an equipment grounding conductor for a
circuit protected by a 200-ampere overcurrent device is required to be a minimum
of #6 AWG copper.
8. For a patient care area in a healthcare facility, the branch circuits serving patient
bed locations must be supplied from a panelboard that is listed for the purpose.
Where is this panelboard permitted to be located?
A) In a closet adjacent to the patient room
B) In the patient room within 6 feet of the bed
C) In an electrical closet not accessible to patients
