1. The National Electrical Code (NEC) is primarily intended to:
A. Provide design specifications for electrical engineers
B. Establish minimum standards for electrical safety
C. Replace local electrical codes
D. Regulate electrical utility companies
Correct Answer: B. Establish minimum standards for electrical safety
The NEC sets minimum safety standards to protect people and property from
electrical hazards. It does not replace local codes but is widely adopted as the
safety benchmark.
, 2. According to NEC requirements, electrical equipment must be installed in a
neat and workmanlike manner. This requirement appears in:
A. Article 90
B. Article 110
C. Article 210
D. Article 250
Correct Answer: B. Article 110
NEC 110.12 requires electrical equipment to be installed in a neat and
workmanlike manner to ensure reliability and safety.
3. A conductor used to connect metal parts of electrical equipment to the
grounding electrode system is called:
A. Neutral conductor
B. Grounded conductor
C. Equipment grounding conductor
D. Bonding jumper
Correct Answer: C. Equipment grounding conductor
The equipment grounding conductor provides a path for fault current and
connects non–current-carrying metal parts to ground.
4. What is the minimum cover depth for direct-burial residential branch
circuits rated 120 volts or less with GFCI protection?
A. 6 inches
B. 12 inches
C. 18 inches
D. 24 inches
Correct Answer: B. 12 inches
NEC Table 300.5 permits reduced burial depth for circuits that are GFCI protected
and under specific conditions.
5. The NEC requires that receptacles in dwelling unit bathrooms be protected
by:
A. AFCI
, B. GFCI
C. Surge protection
D. Ground rods
Correct Answer: B. GFCI
Ground-fault circuit interrupter protection is required in bathrooms because of
the increased shock hazard from moisture.
6. Which conductor is intentionally grounded under normal operating
conditions?
A. Equipment grounding conductor
B. Grounded conductor
C. Bonding jumper
D. Equipment bonding conductor
Correct Answer: B. Grounded conductor
The grounded conductor, commonly called the neutral, is intentionally connected
to ground in the electrical system.
7. When installing NM cable through bored holes in wood framing, the cable
must be at least how far from the edge of the framing member?
A. 1 inch
B. 1.25 inches
C. 1.5 inches
D. 2 inches
Correct Answer: B. 1.25 inches
NEC requires cables to be at least 1.25 inches from the edge of framing to
prevent nail or screw damage.
8. A continuous path for fault current designed to facilitate operation of
overcurrent devices is known as:
A. Grounding system
B. Ground-fault circuit
C. Effective ground-fault current path
D. Service conductor
