    Study Notes

    Electrical Code Requirements

    • Fluorescent light fixtures supported independently of an outlet box must be connected by a metal raceway, nonmetallic sheathed romex cable, or a nonmetallic raceway: all of the above are acceptable.
    • Service entrance equipment includes panelboards, meter enclosures, and service disconnecting means.
    • Medium voltage cable insulation is rated for 2001 volts and higher.
    • Single-phase loads connected to the load side of a phase converter should not be connected to the high leg.
    • A 480 volt motor with a full-load current of 34 amperes requires a standard disconnecting means of 40 amps.
    • For a 150 square meter single-family, one-bath dwelling with a calculated neutral load of 14550 VA, the calculated load for the neutral is approximately 77.5 amps.
    • A 12 kW range in a 145 square meter single-family, one-bath dwelling requires two 2-wire 20 amp circuits.
    • If building "A" is supplied with 120/240 volt single-phase power from building "B" on the same property, where "B" is supplied from a three-wire system with two ungrounded conductors and one neutral, the neutral conductor must be bonded to the disconnect enclosure in the second building and connected to a grounding electrode.
    • A copper THHN feeder conductor with 40 amps of continuous load, 35 amps of non-continuous load, and three current-carrying conductors in a raceway with terminations rated at 75 degrees C requires a minimum overcurrent device of 86 amps.
    • Wiring installed to meet the minimum electrical code requirements must be safe and free from hazards.
    • The lowest point of the drip loop of a 208/120 volt, 3-phase, 4-wire electrical system must have a minimum clearance above a pedestrian sidewalk of at least 1900 mm.
    • The grounding electrode conductor connection to a driven ground rod must be accessible, directly buried, and should not require accessibility by wire taps.
    • Photovoltaic system currents are considered to be continuous currents.
