Sample 1 — Wiring Methods and Materials
Question: You are an electrical contractor installing Type MI cable in a hospital. The cable will pass through areas that are continuously moist, areas exposed to oil, and areas embedded in concrete. Per NEC 332.10, which of these installation conditions is NOT permitted for Type MI cable?
- A. Continuously moist locations
- B. Where exposed to oil and gasoline
- C. Where embedded in concrete
- D. All of these conditions are permitted for Type MI cable
Correct Answer: D
Per NEC 332.10, Type MI cable is permitted in dry, wet, or continuously moist locations (item 3), where exposed to oil and gasoline (item 8), and where embedded in plaster, concrete, fill, or other masonry (item 6). All three conditions listed are permitted uses for Type MI cable.
Reference: NEC 2017 Section 332.10
Sample 2 — Services and Service Equipment
Question: For a grounded AC system, the grounded conductor brought to each service disconnecting means enclosure shall not be smaller than the size specified in which table?
- A. Table 250.102(C)(1)
- B. Table 310.16
- C. Table 250.66
- D. Table 250.122
Correct Answer: A
Per NEC 250.24(C)(1), the grounded conductor shall not be smaller than specified in Table 250.102(C)(1). This table is also used for sizing main bonding jumpers and supply-side bonding jumpers. The grounded conductor serves as the ground-fault return path on the line side of the service disconnecting means.
Reference: NEC 2017 Section 250.24(C)(1)
Sample 3 — Branch Circuits and Conductors
Question: What is the minimum copper service-entrance conductor size for a 200 A, 120/240-volt, single-phase service to a one-family dwelling, using THHN conductors with 75°C terminals?
- A. 2/0 AWG
- B. 3/0 AWG
- C. 250 kcmil
- D. 300 kcmil
Correct Answer: A
For a 120/240-volt, single-phase service supplying the entire load of a one-family dwelling, 310.12(A) (310.15(B)(7) in NEC 2017) permits service conductors with an ampacity of not less than 83 percent of the service rating: 200 A x 0.83 = 166 A. In the 75°C column of Table 310.16, 2/0 AWG copper is rated 175 A, so 2/0 AWG is the minimum. Without that dwelling allowance, 3/0 AWG copper (rated 200 A) would be required.
Reference: NEC 2017 Section 310.15(B)(7) and Table 310.15(B)(16)
