Question 1: 18.Size the maximum primary and secondary overcurrent devices for a
100-kilovolt-amperes, 3-phase transformer, a 480-volt primary, and a 208/120 volts secondary (Only consider the transformer and not conductor protection or panelboard protection).a.
Answer:
- 300 A (primary) / 350 A (secondary)
Question 2: 12.According to 430.32, if a continuous-duty motor nameplate does not have a 1.15 or greater service factor or temperature rise of 40°C or less, then a separate overload protection device must be set at no more than ? (assuming that this selection wil
Answer:
- 115%
Question 3: 14.Using 430.52 and Table 430.248, what is the maximum size dual-element fuse short-circuit and ground-fault protective device allowed for a 10-horsepower, 230-volt, single-phase motor, assuming the motor starts with this size?
- 50 A
- 70 A
- 8
Answer:
- 90 A Correct
Note: 50 × 1.75 = 87.5 A
430.52(C)(1) Exception 1 allows rounding-up to next size standard fuse. 87.5 = 90 ampere fuse.
The correct answer is: 90 A
Question 4: When an AC motor is started across the line, a high inrush current occurs.
Answer:
True Question 5: 20.Overcurrent protection is required in each ungrounded conductor supplying a capacitor. The conductor ampacity shall not be less than ? of the rated current of the capacitor.
- 100%
- 125%
- 135%Correct
- 150%
Answer:
- 135%
The correct answer is: 460.8
Question 6: Which of the following is typically true regarding motor overcurrent protection?
- Motor branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection is located at the beginning of a
motor branch circuit in order to provide short-circuit and ground-fault
Answer:
- Both I. and II.
Question 7: 15.Using Table 430.52, what is the maximum instantaneous trip circuit breaker setting allowed for the motor installation using a 460-volt, 25-horsepower, 3-phase motor marked with a 115% service factor and a nameplate current of 32 amperes based upon 430.
Answer:
272 A
Note: 34 × 800% = 272 A
The circuit breaker in this question is an instantaneous trip only circuit breaker which does not have an overload sensing element. Do not confuse this with a thermal magnetic circuit breaker. This result is the setting of Question 8: In some cases, momentary high inrush currents during motor starting can reach as high as ? times the normal running current amperes during the first 1/2 cycle.
Select one:
- 2
- 4
- 10
- 20
Answer:
- 20
Question 9: In addition to determining the proper OCPD ampere rating for an application, what criteria is/are important when selecting overcurrent devices?
Select one:
- Interrupting rating
- Short-circuit current ratings
- Voltage rating
- All of the abov
Answer:
- All of the above
Question 10: 9.Separate motor and branch-circuit overload protection is sized based upon the ?
- Full load current based on motor horsepower in NEC Tables 430.247 to 430.250
- maximum locked-rotor current
- motor nameplate full-load current
- start-up curr
Answer:
motor nameplate full-load current Question 11: 16. Instantaneous trip circuit breakers are also referred to as motor circuit protectors (MCPs) and are intended only for motor branch circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection.True False
Answer:
True Question 12: 11. Using the conductor sizing guide in this lesson, what conductor ampacity is needed for a 10-horsepower, 230-volt single phase motor?
Answer:
- 62.5 A Correct
Note: Motor ampacity from Table 430.248: 50 A
Minimum conductor ampacity calculated = 50 × 1.25 = 62.5 A using Conductor Ampacity Selection Guide 6, 7, 8.
The correct answer is: 62.5 A
Question 13: Most circuit breakers and fuses would "nuisance open" on motor startup if sized to provide motor and branch-circuit overload protection. As a result, motor branch circuits are permitted by NEC requirements to have two separate overcurrent protective devic
