Section 1: EVSE Installation & Wiring Methods
Q1 – Q25 | 25 Questions | Installation planning, conduit/raceway, conductors, mounting, NEMA receptacles, GFCI, grounding/bonding,
surge protection, voltage drop, cable management, networked EVSE wiring, as-builts.
Q1: A commercial property owner wants to install four Level 2 EVSE units in a parking garage with exposed
structural steel and a finished ceiling height of 9 feet. Site assessment reveals standing water near one
proposed location and a fire-rated ceiling assembly. Which combination of site conditions MUST be
documented and addressed before conduit routing is finalized?
A. Standing water only; route conduit above the water line and proceed with EMT.
B. Fire-rating only; use RMC through rated assemblies and ignore the water.
C. Both standing water (NEC 300.5 / NEMA enclosure rating) and fire-rating (NEC 300.21) must be
documented, with appropriate enclosure ratings and fire-stopping methods. *[CORRECT]*
D. Neither; EVSE in garages is exempt from enclosure rating requirements under NEC Article 625.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: EVITP site assessment requires documenting ALL conditions affecting installation: standing water drives NEMA 3R/4/4X
enclosure selection and conduit placement per NEC 314.15/300.5, while fire-rated assemblies require listed firestop assemblies per
NEC 300.21. Option C captures both obligations. A and B each omit a critical condition, and D is false — NEC 625.50 still requires
enclosures suitable for the environment.
Q2: An installer is routing 3/0 AWG THHN copper feeders to a 60 A Level 2 EVSE pedestal located 220 ft from
a 480/277 V panel. Conduit will be RMC under a parking lot slab. What is the MOST appropriate raceway
selection and burial depth justification?
A. PVC Schedule 40 at 18 in. — lowest cost and adequate for direct burial.
B. RMC at 6 in. minimum under a slab, but 24 in. recommended because vehicles impose vehicle loads per
NEC 300.5(D)(3) Table 300.5 Column 5. *[CORRECT]*
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A
,EVITP Modules 5-7 Certification Exam | 2026/2027 Edition Page 2
C. EMT at 24 in. — corrosion-protected when coated.
D. LFMC at 12 in. — flexible raceway reduces slab stress.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 300.5 Table 300.5 Column 5 (under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, parking lots) requires 24 in. for
direct-buried RMC/rigid metal conduit under vehicle traffic; 6 in. is only allowed under buildings or slabs with no vehicle traffic. RMC
is the correct raceway for slab-penetrating vehicle-loaded runs. PVC Sch 40 is not rated for vehicle loading without concrete
encasement, EMT is forbidden underground (NEC 358.12), and LFMC is not approved for slab burial.
Q3: A wall-mounted Level 2 EVSE is being installed in a public parking garage. The connector, when parked in
its holster, must be accessible and reachable from a van-accessible ADA parking space. What mounting height
range satisfies both NEC 625.30/625.50 and ADA reach-range requirements (2026/2027 standards)?
A. 24 in. to 36 in. measured to the connector holster centerline.
B. 15 in. to 48 in. forward reach; 36 in. min to holster top to satisfy operable parts per ADA 308 and NEC
625.30(B) ready accessibility. *[CORRECT]*
C. Max 60 in. to the connector — only accessibility counts, not operability.
D. 48 in. centerline regardless of occupant posture.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ADA Section 308 sets reach ranges (15-48 in. for forward reach, 15-54 in. for side reach over obstruction ≤ 25 in. depth);
NEC 625.30(B) requires EVSE to be accessible and operable. The intersection requires the connector holster/operating controls at 36-48
in. maximum with bottom at ≥ 15 in., giving option B. A's 36 in. max may be unreachable for tall users and contradicts the 48 in.
forward-reach ceiling, C omits operable-parts compliance, and D ignores the lower reach-range bound.
Q4: A customer requests a NEMA 14-50 receptacle on a 50 A circuit for a plug-in Level 2 EVSE in an attached
residential garage. Which combination of overcurrent protection, conductor sizing, and GFCI is REQUIRED
under the 2026 NEC?
A. 50 A breaker, 6 AWG copper, GFCI not required because it is a dwelling garage.
B. 50 A breaker, 6 AWG copper, GFCI protection required per NEC 625.54 and 210.8(A) for dwelling
garages — actually 210.8(A) covers 120 V only; 625.54 still mandates GFCI for receptacles ≤ 250 V for
EVSE, but 14-50 is 250 V so GFCI is not required by 625.54 until the next cycle. *[CORRECT]*
C. 40 A breaker, 8 AWG copper, GFCI required.
D. 60 A breaker, 4 AWG copper, GFCI required.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 625.54 historically required GFCI only for 120/240 V receptacles ≤ 50 A used for EV charging; the 250 V 14-50
receptacle is included in the EVITP 2026/2027 expectation that GFCI is provided where listed EVSE requires it (and many EVSE
installations now require listed GFCI receptacles per manufacturer instructions and NEC 625.25). The correct answer recognizes
625.54 GFCI applicability and the 6 AWG copper + 50 A breaker pairing per NEC 210.50(C) and 625.40/625.42. A omits GFCI, C
undersizes, D oversizes the breaker relative to the 14-50 rating.
Q5: During wire pulling of a 250 ft run of 4/0 AWG aluminum feeder through 4 in. PVC Schedule 40 with four
90-degree sweeps, the installer reports 'pulling tension is rising fast' at about 215 ft. Which action MUST be
taken to avoid insulation damage and reduce pulling tension per industry practice and the National Electrical
Code?
A. Apply pulling lubricant compatible with THHN insulation and add an intermediate pull box at midpoint;
verify total bend angle ≤ 360° per NEC 314.71 / CEC Chapter 9. *[CORRECT]*
B. Pull harder — the conductor can tolerate the tension because it is aluminum.
C. Switch to a smaller conductor to reduce tension.
D. Eliminate one 90-degree sweep; pulling lubricants are forbidden on THWN-2.
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A
,EVITP Modules 5-7 Certification Exam | 2026/2027 Edition Page 3
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Per NEC Chapter 9 Notes to Tables and industry standards, the cumulative bend angle of any single pull shall not exceed
360°; intermediate pull boxes split the run and reduce tension. Pulling lubricant must be listed/compatible with the cable insulation
(THWN-2 compatible lubes are widely available). Pulling harder risks insulation damage (B), reducing conductor size is unsafe and
ineffective for tension (C), and D's claim about lubricants is false.
Q6: An EVSE installer is terminating 2 AWG stranded copper conductors in a set-screw lug on a Level 2 EVSE
terminal block. Which combination of preparation and torque practice is REQUIRED for a code-compliant,
low-resistance termination?
A. Strip, twist the strands tightly, insert, and tighten by feel.
B. Strip, twist and tin the strands with solder, insert, tighten to manufacturer-listed torque using a calibrated torque
wrench.
C. Strip, twist the strands, insert, tighten to manufacturer-listed torque using a calibrated torque
screwdriver/wrench; do NOT tin stranded conductors under set-screw lugs per NEC 110.14. *[CORRECT]*
D. Strip and crimp on a copper lug, then tighten by feel.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: NEC 110.14(D) requires terminations to be tightened to the manufacturer-listed torque value with a calibrated tool, and
110.14 prohibits soldered (tinned) terminations under set-screw mechanical lugs because solder cold-flows under pressure and
overheats. Option C is the only choice that meets both requirements. A and D omit torque, and B uses tinning which is non-compliant.
Q7: A junction box must be installed to splice a 4 AWG copper EVSE feeder run. Conductors will be 4 in. long
inside the box, with one 6 AWG equipment grounding conductor and a single device (split-bolt splice). What is
the MINIMUM box volume required by NEC 314.16?
A. 18 cu in. (4 AWG = 2.0 cu in. each × 4 conductors + 1 EGC = 0.15 × 4 + double-device allowance).
B. Per NEC 314.16(B): 4 AWG = 2.25 cu in. each; four current-carrying + 1 EGC counted same size + 1
device/clamp allowance (× volume of largest conductor) → 2.25 × 6 = 13.5 cu in. minimum, but real-world
minimum is ≥ the next standard size up; use Table 314.16(A) for metal box 4×4×2.5 = 30 cu in. minimum
safe. *[CORRECT]*
C. 10 cu in. — counts only current-carrying conductors.
D. Bigger than 12 cu in. because of the splice.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 314.16(B)(1)-(6) sum: each 4 AWG conductor = 2.25 cu in. (Table 314.16(B)); 4 current-carrying + 1 EGC counted
at 2.25 + 1 device/yoke allowance of 2 × 2.25 = 13.5 cu in. minimum; standard metal box 4×4×1.5 (30 cu in.) or 4×4×2.5 safely
exceeds minimum. A miscounts 4 AWG volume (uses 2.0 instead of 2.25), C ignores EGC/splice/device allowances, and D offers no
quantitative basis.
Q8: A Level 2 EVSE requires a separate disconnecting means. The installation is a commercial parking lot,
with the EVSE mounted 6 ft from a 60 A breaker panel. Which disconnect location and rating is REQUIRED
by NEC 625.37?
A. Disconnect in the panel is sufficient because the EVSE is within sight.
B. Disconnect rated ≥ branch-circuit rating, located within sight and ≤ 50 ft of the EVSE, lockable open per
NEC 625..25. *[CORRECT]*
C. Lockable fused 100 A safety switch outside regardless of distance.
D. No separate disconnect required for hardwired EVSE under 60 A.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 625.37 requires a listed disconnecting means for EVSE, located within sight and not exceeding 50 ft, rated for the
circuit, and lockable open per 110.25. B is the only option that captures all these elements. A omits the lockable-open requirement; C's
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A
, EVITP Modules 5-7 Certification Exam | 2026/2027 Edition Page 4
oversizing/distance logic is wrong; D contradicts 625.37 which requires a disconnecting means for EVSE regardless of amperage.
Q9: A pedestal-mounted Level 2 EVSE is to be installed in a sidewalk-adjacent curb lane. Which mounting
method and footing detail satisfies both structural support and pedestrian-accessibility requirements?
A. Bolt pedestal directly to existing sidewalk with four 1/2 in. expansion anchors.
B. Pour a 24×24×24 in. concrete footing with embedded 5/8 in. stainless J-bolts, set pedestal plumb, ≥ 36 in.
clear pedestrian path around pedestal per PROWAG/ADA. *[CORRECT]*
C. Use a freestanding weighted base — no concrete work needed.
D. Surface-mount to a thin-set concrete pad with chemical anchors only.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pedestal EVSE must resist vehicular and wind loads; an embedded-J-bolt concrete footing (typ. 24-36 in. cube) provides
overturning and shear resistance. PROWAG/ADA requires a clear pedestrian path (≥ 36 in., preferred 48 in.) around any curb-lane
obstruction. A's expansion anchors in sidewalk lack overturning resistance; C provides no fixed support and creates a vehicle-impact
hazard; D may fail under wind load and lacks overturning calculation.
Q10: An installer proposes mounting a wall-penetrating hardwired Level 2 EVSE in a single-family attached
garage on the shared wall with the living space. What fire-rating and penetration-treatment requirement
MUST be met?
A. No special treatment required — EVSE enclosures are fire-rated.
B. Use a listed firestop assembly for ALL wall penetrations (conduit, mounting bolts) per NEC 300.21 and
the building's rated-assembly listing; verify UL 263 / ASTM E811 compatibility. *[CORRECT]*
C. Caulk with ordinary silicone — sufficient for a residential wall.
D. Mount only on a non-rated wall to bypass firestop requirements.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 300.21 requires that fire-rated assemblies be restored to their original fire rating after penetration; this means listed
firestop devices or assemblies rated to the wall's fire-resistance rating (typ. 1-hr for attached garage). A is false (EVSE enclosures are
not fire-rated assemblies); C's silicone caulk is not a listed firestop; D bypasses code rather than complying.
Q11: A 40 A Level 2 EVSE is being installed 180 ft from a 240 V single-phase 100 A residential panel. Voltage
drop budget is 3% feeder + 2% branch. Which conductor size and rationale are CORRECT?
A. 8 AWG copper — rated 50 A at 75 °C and meets voltage drop.
B. 6 AWG copper — meets ampacity (65 A @ 75 °C) but voltage drop ≈ 3.6% exceeds budget; increase to 4
AWG copper to satisfy 3% feeder. *[CORRECT]*
C. 10 AWG copper — sufficient because the EVSE is rated 32 A continuous.
D. 4 AWG aluminum — cheaper and lighter, 50 A at 75 °C is fine.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Voltage drop for single-phase at 180 ft, 40 A, 240 V: VD = (2 × L × R × I) / 1000 ft. Using NEC Chapter 9 Table 8
resistance (Cu, 6 AWG ≈ 0.491 Ω/1000 ft): VD = (2 × 180 × 0.491 × 40)/1000 = 7.07 V → 2.95% (borderline). At 4 AWG (≈ 0.308
Ω/1000 ft): VD = (2 × 180 × 0.308 × 40)/1000 = 4.44 V → 1.85%, well under 3%. Option B's analytical reasoning is correct. A's 8
AWG under-supports voltage drop, C's 10 AWG is too small for 40 A continuous, and D's aluminum at 75 °C is 50 A but aluminum
ampacity must be verified and adds a different connection-termination consideration.
Q12: An installer plans to use a NEMA 5-15 receptacle to feed a portable Level 1 EVSE on a dedicated 20 A
circuit. Which arrangement is REQUIRED by NEC Article 625 and NEC 210.8?

Section 1: EVSE Installation & Wiring Methods
Q1 – Q25 | 25 Questions | Installation planning, conduit/raceway, conductors, mounting, NEMA receptacles, GFCI, grounding/bonding,
surge protection, voltage drop, cable management, networked EVSE wiring, as-builts.
Q1: A commercial property owner wants to install four Level 2 EVSE units in a parking garage with exposed
structural steel and a finished ceiling height of 9 feet. Site assessment reveals standing water near one
proposed location and a fire-rated ceiling assembly. Which combination of site conditions MUST be
documented and addressed before conduit routing is finalized?
A. Standing water only; route conduit above the water line and proceed with EMT.
B. Fire-rating only; use RMC through rated assemblies and ignore the water.
C. Both standing water (NEC 300.5 / NEMA enclosure rating) and fire-rating (NEC 300.21) must be
documented, with appropriate enclosure ratings and fire-stopping methods. *[CORRECT]*
D. Neither; EVSE in garages is exempt from enclosure rating requirements under NEC Article 625.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: EVITP site assessment requires documenting ALL conditions affecting installation: standing water drives NEMA 3R/4/4X
enclosure selection and conduit placement per NEC 314.15/300.5, while fire-rated assemblies require listed firestop assemblies per
NEC 300.21. Option C captures both obligations. A and B each omit a critical condition, and D is false — NEC 625.50 still requires
enclosures suitable for the environment.
Q2: An installer is routing 3/0 AWG THHN copper feeders to a 60 A Level 2 EVSE pedestal located 220 ft from
a 480/277 V panel. Conduit will be RMC under a parking lot slab. What is the MOST appropriate raceway
selection and burial depth justification?
A. PVC Schedule 40 at 18 in. — lowest cost and adequate for direct burial.
B. RMC at 6 in. minimum under a slab, but 24 in. recommended because vehicles impose vehicle loads per
NEC 300.5(D)(3) Table 300.5 Column 5. *[CORRECT]*
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A

C. EMT at 24 in. — corrosion-protected when coated.
D. LFMC at 12 in. — flexible raceway reduces slab stress.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 300.5 Table 300.5 Column 5 (under streets, highways, roads, alleys, driveways, parking lots) requires 24 in. for
direct-buried RMC/rigid metal conduit under vehicle traffic; 6 in. is only allowed under buildings or slabs with no vehicle traffic. RMC
is the correct raceway for slab-penetrating vehicle-loaded runs. PVC Sch 40 is not rated for vehicle loading without concrete
encasement, EMT is forbidden underground (NEC 358.12), and LFMC is not approved for slab burial.
Q3: A wall-mounted Level 2 EVSE is being installed in a public parking garage. The connector, when parked in
its holster, must be accessible and reachable from a van-accessible ADA parking space. What mounting height
range satisfies both NEC 625.30/625.50 and ADA reach-range requirements (2026/2027 standards)?
A. 24 in. to 36 in. measured to the connector holster centerline.
B. 15 in. to 48 in. forward reach; 36 in. min to holster top to satisfy operable parts per ADA 308 and NEC
625.30(B) ready accessibility. *[CORRECT]*
C. Max 60 in. to the connector — only accessibility counts, not operability.
D. 48 in. centerline regardless of occupant posture.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ADA Section 308 sets reach ranges (15-48 in. for forward reach, 15-54 in. for side reach over obstruction ≤ 25 in. depth);
NEC 625.30(B) requires EVSE to be accessible and operable. The intersection requires the connector holster/operating controls at 36-48
in. maximum with bottom at ≥ 15 in., giving option B. A's 36 in. max may be unreachable for tall users and contradicts the 48 in.
forward-reach ceiling, C omits operable-parts compliance, and D ignores the lower reach-range bound.
Q4: A customer requests a NEMA 14-50 receptacle on a 50 A circuit for a plug-in Level 2 EVSE in an attached
residential garage. Which combination of overcurrent protection, conductor sizing, and GFCI is REQUIRED
under the 2026 NEC?
A. 50 A breaker, 6 AWG copper, GFCI not required because it is a dwelling garage.
B. 50 A breaker, 6 AWG copper, GFCI protection required per NEC 625.54 and 210.8(A) for dwelling
garages — actually 210.8(A) covers 120 V only; 625.54 still mandates GFCI for receptacles ≤ 250 V for
EVSE, but 14-50 is 250 V so GFCI is not required by 625.54 until the next cycle. *[CORRECT]*
C. 40 A breaker, 8 AWG copper, GFCI required.
D. 60 A breaker, 4 AWG copper, GFCI required.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 625.54 historically required GFCI only for 120/240 V receptacles ≤ 50 A used for EV charging; the 250 V 14-50
receptacle is included in the EVITP 2026/2027 expectation that GFCI is provided where listed EVSE requires it (and many EVSE
installations now require listed GFCI receptacles per manufacturer instructions and NEC 625.25). The correct answer recognizes
625.54 GFCI applicability and the 6 AWG copper + 50 A breaker pairing per NEC 210.50(C) and 625.40/625.42. A omits GFCI, C
undersizes, D oversizes the breaker relative to the 14-50 rating.
Q5: During wire pulling of a 250 ft run of 4/0 AWG aluminum feeder through 4 in. PVC Schedule 40 with four
90-degree sweeps, the installer reports 'pulling tension is rising fast' at about 215 ft. Which action MUST be
taken to avoid insulation damage and reduce pulling tension per industry practice and the National Electrical
Code?
A. Apply pulling lubricant compatible with THHN insulation and add an intermediate pull box at midpoint;
verify total bend angle ≤ 360° per NEC 314.71 / CEC Chapter 9. *[CORRECT]*
B. Pull harder — the conductor can tolerate the tension because it is aluminum.
C. Switch to a smaller conductor to reduce tension.
D. Eliminate one 90-degree sweep; pulling lubricants are forbidden on THWN-2.
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A
,EVITP Modules 5-7 Certification Exam | 2026/2027 Edition Page 3
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Per NEC Chapter 9 Notes to Tables and industry standards, the cumulative bend angle of any single pull shall not exceed
360°; intermediate pull boxes split the run and reduce tension. Pulling lubricant must be listed/compatible with the cable insulation
(THWN-2 compatible lubes are widely available). Pulling harder risks insulation damage (B), reducing conductor size is unsafe and
ineffective for tension (C), and D's claim about lubricants is false.
Q6: An EVSE installer is terminating 2 AWG stranded copper conductors in a set-screw lug on a Level 2 EVSE
terminal block. Which combination of preparation and torque practice is REQUIRED for a code-compliant,
low-resistance termination?
A. Strip, twist the strands tightly, insert, and tighten by feel.
B. Strip, twist and tin the strands with solder, insert, tighten to manufacturer-listed torque using a calibrated torque
wrench.
C. Strip, twist the strands, insert, tighten to manufacturer-listed torque using a calibrated torque
screwdriver/wrench; do NOT tin stranded conductors under set-screw lugs per NEC 110.14. *[CORRECT]*
D. Strip and crimp on a copper lug, then tighten by feel.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: NEC 110.14(D) requires terminations to be tightened to the manufacturer-listed torque value with a calibrated tool, and
110.14 prohibits soldered (tinned) terminations under set-screw mechanical lugs because solder cold-flows under pressure and
overheats. Option C is the only choice that meets both requirements. A and D omit torque, and B uses tinning which is non-compliant.
Q7: A junction box must be installed to splice a 4 AWG copper EVSE feeder run. Conductors will be 4 in. long

the MINIMUM box volume required by NEC 314.16?
A. 18 cu in. (4 AWG = 2.0 cu in. each × 4 conductors + 1 EGC = 0.15 × 4 + double-device allowance).
B. Per NEC 314.16(B): 4 AWG = 2.25 cu in. each; four current-carrying + 1 EGC counted same size + 1
device/clamp allowance (× volume of largest conductor) → 2.25 × 6 = 13.5 cu in. minimum, but real-world
minimum is ≥ the next standard size up; use Table 314.16(A) for metal box 4×4×2.5 = 30 cu in. minimum
safe. *[CORRECT]*
C. 10 cu in. — counts only current-carrying conductors.
D. Bigger than 12 cu in. because of the splice.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 314.16(B)(1)-(6) sum: each 4 AWG conductor = 2.25 cu in. (Table 314.16(B)); 4 current-carrying + 1 EGC counted
at 2.25 + 1 device/yoke allowance of 2 × 2.25 = 13.5 cu in. minimum; standard metal box 4×4×1.5 (30 cu in.) or 4×4×2.5 safely
exceeds minimum. A miscounts 4 AWG volume (uses 2.0 instead of 2.25), C ignores EGC/splice/device allowances, and D offers no
quantitative basis.
Q8: A Level 2 EVSE requires a separate disconnecting means. The installation is a commercial parking lot,
with the EVSE mounted 6 ft from a 60 A breaker panel. Which disconnect location and rating is REQUIRED
by NEC 625.37?
A. Disconnect in the panel is sufficient because the EVSE is within sight.
B. Disconnect rated ≥ branch-circuit rating, located within sight and ≤ 50 ft of the EVSE, lockable open per
NEC 625..25. *[CORRECT]*
C. Lockable fused 100 A safety switch outside regardless of distance.
D. No separate disconnect required for hardwired EVSE under 60 A.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 625.37 requires a listed disconnecting means for EVSE, located within sight and not exceeding 50 ft, rated for the
circuit, and lockable open per 110.25. B is the only option that captures all these elements. A omits the lockable-open requirement; C's
EVITP / NEC Article 625 / NFPA 70E Aligned | Verified Answers — Grade A

oversizing/distance logic is wrong; D contradicts 625.37 which requires a disconnecting means for EVSE regardless of amperage.
Q9: A pedestal-mounted Level 2 EVSE is to be installed in a sidewalk-adjacent curb lane. Which mounting
method and footing detail satisfies both structural support and pedestrian-accessibility requirements?
A. Bolt pedestal directly to existing sidewalk with four 1/2 in. expansion anchors.
B. Pour a 24×24×24 in. concrete footing with embedded 5/8 in. stainless J-bolts, set pedestal plumb, ≥ 36 in.
clear pedestrian path around pedestal per PROWAG/ADA. *[CORRECT]*
C. Use a freestanding weighted base — no concrete work needed.
D. Surface-mount to a thin-set concrete pad with chemical anchors only.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pedestal EVSE must resist vehicular and wind loads; an embedded-J-bolt concrete footing (typ. 24-36 in. cube) provides
overturning and shear resistance. PROWAG/ADA requires a clear pedestrian path (≥ 36 in., preferred 48 in.) around any curb-lane
obstruction. A's expansion anchors in sidewalk lack overturning resistance; C provides no fixed support and creates a vehicle-impact
hazard; D may fail under wind load and lacks overturning calculation.
Q10: An installer proposes mounting a wall-penetrating hardwired Level 2 EVSE in a single-family attached
garage on the shared wall with the living space. What fire-rating and penetration-treatment requirement
MUST be met?
A. No special treatment required — EVSE enclosures are fire-rated.
B. Use a listed firestop assembly for ALL wall penetrations (conduit, mounting bolts) per NEC 300.21 and
the building's rated-assembly listing; verify UL 263 / ASTM E811 compatibility. *[CORRECT]*
C. Caulk with ordinary silicone — sufficient for a residential wall.
D. Mount only on a non-rated wall to bypass firestop requirements.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: NEC 300.21 requires that fire-rated assemblies be restored to their original fire rating after penetration; this means listed
firestop devices or assemblies rated to the wall's fire-resistance rating (typ. 1-hr for attached garage). A is false (EVSE enclosures are
not fire-rated assemblies); C's silicone caulk is not a listed firestop; D bypasses code rather than complying.
Q11: A 40 A Level 2 EVSE is being installed 180 ft from a 240 V single-phase 100 A residential panel. Voltage
drop budget is 3% feeder + 2% branch. Which conductor size and rationale are CORRECT?
A. 8 AWG copper — rated 50 A at 75 °C and meets voltage drop.
B. 6 AWG copper — meets ampacity (65 A @ 75 °C) but voltage drop ≈ 3.6% exceeds budget; increase to 4
AWG copper to satisfy 3% feeder. *[CORRECT]*
C. 10 AWG copper — sufficient because the EVSE is rated 32 A continuous.
D. 4 AWG aluminum — cheaper and lighter, 50 A at 75 °C is fine.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Voltage drop for single-phase at 180 ft, 40 A, 240 V: VD = (2 × L × R × I) / 1000 ft. Using NEC Chapter 9 Table 8
resistance (Cu, 6 AWG ≈ 0.491 Ω/1000 ft): VD = (2 × 180 × 0.491 × 40)/1000 = 7.07 V → 2.95% (borderline). At 4 AWG (≈ 0.308
Ω/1000 ft): VD = (2 × 180 × 0.308 × 40)/1000 = 4.44 V → 1.85%, well under 3%. Option B's analytical reasoning is correct. A's 8
AWG under-supports voltage drop, C's 10 AWG is too small for 40 A continuous, and D's aluminum at 75 °C is 50 A but aluminum
ampacity must be verified and adds a different connection-termination consideration.
Q12: An installer plans to use a NEMA 5-15 receptacle to feed a portable Level 1 EVSE on a dedicated 20 A
circuit. Which arrangement is REQUIRED by NEC Article 625 and NEC 210.8?
