Why Service Equipment Requirements matters

Service Equipment Requirements is heavily tested because undersized conductors and services cause overheating, fires, and equipment failure.

Sample Practice Questions (5)

1. A commercial building has a 1,200A service with 500 kcmil copper conductors in three parallel sets per phase. Per NEC Table 250.66, the maximum size grounding electrode conductor required is:

  • 3/0 AWG copper
  • 4/0 AWG copper
  • 250 kcmil copper
  • 2/0 AWG copper

2. A service disconnect rated at 800 amperes requires the use of a ground-fault protection system per NEC 230.95. The maximum setting for this ground-fault protection is:

  • 1,200 amperes with a maximum time delay of 1 second for ground-fault currents of 3,000 amperes or more
  • 800 amperes with instantaneous trip
  • 2,400 amperes with no time limit
  • 600 amperes with a 2-second delay

3. A 400-ampere, 480Y/277V service uses two parallel sets of 350 kcmil copper service entrance conductors per phase. Per NEC Table 250.102(C)(1), what is the minimum size of the main bonding jumper?

  • 1/0 AWG copper
  • 4 AWG copper
  • 2 AWG copper
  • 3/0 AWG copper

4. Per NEC 250.28(D), the main bonding jumper at a service must be sized according to which table?

  • Table 250.66 — same as the grounding electrode conductor
  • Table 250.122 — based on overcurrent protection ahead of the service
  • Table 310.16 — based on conductor ampacity
  • Table 250.102(C)(1) — based on the size of the service entrance conductors

5. Per NEC Table 250.66, a service with 2/0 AWG copper service entrance conductors requires a minimum grounding electrode conductor size of:

  • 4 AWG copper
  • 6 AWG copper
  • 8 AWG copper
  • 2 AWG copper
