Question

You have been hired by a company to connect an outside lighting system to a panel box located 55 ft from the point of attachment. The conductors are to have Type THWN-2 insulation and the wire is copper. The termination temperature of the connections is not known. The lighting system is rated at 20 kW. The voltage is 240 V. Because the lights are expected to operate more than three hours at a time, they are considered continuous-duty. Using the NEC, determine the wire size needed to make this connection.
