1. What is the maximum number of disconnects
permitted for a single service, grouped in one
location, according to the NEC?
A. 2
B. 4
🟢 C. 6
D. 8
🔴 Explanation: NEC 230.71 states that the service
disconnecting means for each service shall consist of
not more than six switches or six circuit breakers
mounted in a single enclosure or in a group of separate
enclosures.
2. In a 3-phase, 4-wire, delta-connected system
where the midpoint of one phase winding is
grounded, the conductor with the higher voltage to
ground is known as the:
,A. Neutral leg
🟢 B. High leg
C. Grounded conductor
D. Phase C leg
🔴 Explanation: The high leg (usually identified by
orange marking) is the conductor with the higher voltage
to ground in a delta-connected system where one phase
is center-tapped and grounded.
3. When calculating the load for a branch circuit, what
is the required volt-ampere rating for each linear
foot of a show window?
A. 180 VA
B. 100 VA
🟢 C. 200 VA
D. 1200 VA
🔴 Explanation: Per NEC 220.14(G), show window
loads must be calculated at 200 volt-amperes per linear
foot.
, 4. A journeyman electrician is asked to install a
receptacle in a residential bathroom. What is the
maximum distance allowed from the outside edge
of the basin to the receptacle?
🟢 A. 3 feet
B. 2 feet
C. 4 feet
D. 6 feet
🔴 Explanation: NEC 210.52(D) requires at least one
receptacle outlet to be installed within 3 feet of the
outside edge of each basin.
5. Which of the following is an example of an
"accessible" wiring method as defined by the NEC
for equipment?
A. Wiring buried under 2 feet of concrete
🟢 B. Wiring located behind a removable cover
C. Wiring inside a permanently sealed wall
D. Wiring run through a solid metal conduit
