The optional method of calculation for dwelling units is reserved for ___.

a. multifamily dwelling
units only
b. dwelling units with
over 3,000 sq. ft. of
usable space
c. dwelling units
supplied by service
conductors with an
ampacity of 100 amperes
or greater.
d. dwelling units with a
208Y/120-volt, 3-phase,
electrical system only
According to Section 220.82(A) the optional method of calculation is permitted only if the dwelling
unit service-entrance conductors or feeder conductors have an ampacity of at least 100 amperes.
This calculation method applies to a single dwelling unit, whether it is a separate building or located
in a multifamily dwelling. It applies to dwellings served by a 120/240- volt, single phase system or a
208Y/120- volt, 3-phase system. Generally, the optional calculation method provides an easier and
less complex calculation method than the standard (general) method for computing the total
demand load for feeders and service-entrance conductors.

2. When calculating the service-entrance conductors of a farm where all the buildings,
including the dwelling, are supplied from a common service, the second largest individual
load in the group shall be calculated at _____.
a. 60
percent
b. 75
percent
c. 80
percent
d. 90
percent
Due to the fact all the equipment on a farm will not be used simultaneously for an extended length
of time, it is permitted to apply the demand factors shown in Table 220.103 when calculating the
farm service-entrance conductors. This table shows the second largest individual load may be
calculated at 75%.

3. The entire area of a service pit located in a commercial major repair garage that is not
provided with mechanical ventilation is classified as a _____ location.
a. Class I, Division 1
b. Class I, Division 2
c. Class II, Division 1
d. Class II, Division 2

Section 511.3(C)(3)(b) indicates where mechanical ventilation is not provided in the below floor level
service pit of a major repair garage it shall be a Class I, Division 1 location. The Class I, Division 1
location below grade extends from the floor of the pit to the service area floor level.

4. The MAXIMUM distance conduit seals are permitted to be installed from an enclosure that
houses devices that produces arcs or high-temperatures in a Class I, Division 1 location is
_____.
a. 6
inches
b. 24
inches
c. 12
inches
d. 18
inches
The requirements for the location of conduit seals are to prevent an explosion from traveling through
the conduit to another enclosure and to minimize the passage of gases or vapors from hazardous
locations to nonhazardous locations. In Class 1, Division 1 locations, if the conduit enters an
enclosure that contains arcing or high-temperature equipment, as required by Section 501.15(A)(1),
conduit seals shall be installed within 18 inches of the enclosure.

5. Where three (3) switches are

grouped or ganged in an
outlet box without permanent
barriers, the voltage between
the adjacent switches shall
NOT exceed _____.
a.
150
volts
b.
250
volts
c.
300
volts
d.
240
volts
As addressed in Section 404.8(B),
permanent barriers are required
between switches grouped in a
box where the voltage exceeds
300 volts between the switches.
Barriers are required between
switches that are ganged in a box

and used to switch 277-volt

luminaires on 480Y/277-volt
systems where two or more phase
conductors enter the box. The
barriers are required between the
switches fed from two different
phases of this system because the
voltage between the phase
conductors would be 480 volts and
would exceed the 300-volt limit.

6. In order to determine the

adequate size of a junction
box containing size 4 AWG
THWN copper conductors,
the volume allowance, in
cubic inches, required per
conductor is _____.
a.
5.00
cu.
in.
b.
5.50
cu.
in.
c.
6.25

cu.
in.
d.
none
of
these
For the purpose of determining
box size and fill, Table 314.16(B)
shows the volume allowance, in
cubic inches, required per
conductor from sizes 18 AWG to 6
AWG. However, when sizing pull
and junction boxes containing
conductors of size 4 AWG and
larger, the box dimension is to be
calculated based on the diameter
of the raceways entering the
enclosure and the rules specified
in Section 314.28 are to be
applied.

7. You are to install an underground run of trade size 2 in. Schedule 40 PVC conduit containing
120/240-volt, single-phase service-entrance conductors supplying a one-family dwelling.
The PVC will not cross under any public streets, roads, driveways or alleys. The conduit is
to have a burial depth of at LEAST _____ from final grade.
a. 12
inches
b. 18
inches
c. 24
inches
d. 30
inches
Column 3 of Table 300.5, shows the conduit to have a permitted burial depth of not less than 18
inches from final grade, where given the conditions specified in the question.

8. Where an eye-bolt is provided as a means of attachment of 120/240-volt, single-phase

residential service-drop conductors, in no case shall this point of attachment be less than
_____ above finished grade.
a.
10
feet
b.
12
feet

c.
15
feet
d.
18
feet
The intent of Section 230.26, requiring the point of attachment of overhead service-drop conductors
to be not less than 10 feet, is to prevent inadvertent contact with the conductors by persons, which
may cause a shock hazard or electrocution and prevent physical damage to the conductors.

9. You are to install four (4) size 350 kcmil THWN copper conductors in a run of rigid metal
conduit (RMC). What is the MINIMUM trade size RMC required to enclose the conductors
for this installation?
a.
2
in.
b.
3
in.
c.
3
in.
d.
4
in.
When electrical conduit or tubing enclose conductors of the same size, with the same type of
insulation, where the raceway is more than 24 inches in length, Tables C.1 through C.12(A) of
Annex C are permitted to be used when determining the maximum number of conductors permitted
in the raceways. Table C.8 in this Annex indicates a trade size 3 in. RMC is required to enclose four
(4) size 350 kcmil THWN copper conductors.

10. Where size 2 AWG THWN/THHN copper conductors, protected by a 100 ampere rated
circuit breaker, are enclosed in a Schedule 40 PVC conduit to supply an air-conditioning
unit, what is the MINIMUM size copper equipment grounding conductor required for this
installation?
a. 2
AWG
b. 4
AWG
c. 6
AWG
d. 8
AWG
The general requirement for selecting the minimum size equipment grounding conductor is to select

directly from Table 250.122 based on the rating or setting of the feeder or branch circuit overcurrent
protective device(s). In this situation, the circuit breaker has a rating of 100 amperes, therefore a
minimum size 8 AWG copper equipment grounding conductor is required to be routed with the airconditioning unit supply conductors.

11.

Potential transformers measure _______________.

impedance
voltage
current
frequency

Potential transformers measure voltage.

12.

A first aid kit should be provided for what jobs?

Electrician Exam Secrets

Study Guide

How to Pass the Electrician Test, using our easy step-bystep Electrician Exam study guide, without weeks and
months of endless studying...
Dear Friend,
On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young man received
the devastating news. He had just gotten back his result on the Electrician
Exam. It was not what he had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the
expectations he had considering his past experience and educational
background.
He had failed.
Then he remembered his friends and felt even worse. He did not look forward
to having to tell them the embarrassing news, especially after he had
boasted that it was no big deal. He had been procrastinating about taking
the exam because he hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed his
hatred.
"What will I do now?" he thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh
reality of his predicament and its upsetting implications on his future.

How to Solve the Problem

Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone
thought they were going to breeze through the examination, told all their
friends, made plans for their future, and then got an embarrassing reality
check from the Electrician Exam.
The Electrician Test is quite simply an objective assessment of a test taker's
requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.
Electrician Exam scores are used as a uniform standard of qualification.
While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be
dependent upon needing a certain Electrician Exam score.
That is the whole purpose of the Electrician Exam Secrets study guide: to
give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the Electrician
Exam.

Our Study Guide for the Electrician

Exam Is Unlike Any Other

If you'd like to get the Electrician Exam score you deserve, to quit worrying
about whether your score on the Electrician Exam is "good enough," and to
beat the test taking game, then this might be the most important message
you read this year.
Our comprehensive study guide for the Electrician Exam is written by our
exam experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts
that you need to know to do your best on the Electrician Exam. Our original
research into the Electrician Test reveals the specific content areas and the
essential skills that are critical for you to know on the Electrician Exam.
We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed
to help you be successful on the Electrician Exam.
Now, we know you may be skeptical, so let us give you three good reasons
we can back up what we claim:

The Three Reasons To Believe What We

Say
The First Reason:
Our company's name is Mometrix Test Preparation, and we have a team of
standardized test researchers who have worked on developing our study
guide for the Electrician Exam. The standards for who gets to work on the
team are very strict- we demand the best for our customers, and only those
who met our exacting standards made the cut. The dedicated research staff
have years of combined experience in mastering the content and skills
necessary to succeed on the toughest exams.
The Second Reason:
Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit
from the traditional test preparation process. But we knew there had to be a
solution- if test takers were not doing well on the Electrician Exam despite
high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would
open the door of success for these test takers.
We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of the exam. What
we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once
explained to the average test taker.
We put the findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we
believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her
results dramatically with a minimum of effort.
The Third Reason:
We created the product in part because we were frustrated by the options
available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the Electrician Exam.

A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE

TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the Electrician Exam- you have
to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general
knowledge of the material that will be covered on the exam.
One reason some test takers do well on the day of the test is that they have
made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to
use the material to succeed on the Electrician Exam.
Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material
and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day.
You're going to save time, money, and aggravation. You'll learn to avoid the
mistakes and the bad strategies that you've been vulnerable to. Just for
starters, here are some ways our product can help your score on the
Electrician Exam...

Listen to what our customers say about other Mometrix
test preparation products.
I purchased the Secrets file, and I just wanted to let you know that I passed
my test. I just want to thank you again, and hope you have continued
success in your ventures. Sincerely, Paul L.

My name is Chris. I used the Secrets study guide for five days. The study
guide made the test so easy to understand. Like you said this program is
worth 100's of dollars. To me 1,000's!! THANKS, Chris G.
I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last
minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO
preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I
needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to
say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!! Brian
I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course,
and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead
spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you! Zac L.

Warning: Always Look for These 6 Criteria

There is a lot of confusion surrounding studying for the Electrician Exam, and
standardized tests in general. In our opinion, these are the 6 criteria you
should always look for in a study guide for the Electrician Exam:
One: The guide must be written by writers who have painstakingly
researched the topics and concepts needed to succeed on the Electrician
Exam. The blind cannot hope to lead the blind.
Two: The guide must be written in easy-to-use everyday language so all test
takers can access the information.
Three: The guide must be to-the-point, with no fluff to distract the test taker
from the truly important information.
Four: The guide must address the test first, the material second. If the
material was the only thing that was important, then every test taker that
understood the material should get a perfect score- that doesn't happen
because there's a difference between simply knowing what's on the test and
the way you perform on the test. You want a study guide to close that gap.
Five: The guide must motivate the test taker to actually study for the exam.
If the guide is hard to read, the time spent studying will be slow and painful,
and the results will be meager.
Six: The guide must be guaranteed- if you don't pass with flying colors, you
get your money back- no questions asked.

You get at least 10 times your money's

worth!

When you consider what's at stake with the exam, we believe the value of
our study guide gives you at least ten times your money's worth.
In summary, here's what you get:
