- a. What circuit supplies the workshop lighting? ________________
- b. What circuit supplies the plug-in strip over the workbench? ________________
- c. What circuit supplies the freezer receptacle? ________________
(a)
Mention the type of circuit that is used to supply the workshop lighting.
Answer to Problem 1R
The circuit used to supply the workshop lighting is A17.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Refer to Figure 18-1 in the textbook that shows the conduit layout for workshop. In this layout, the lighting circuit is supplied by the branch circuit A17. In addition to supply the lighting, the circuit A17 also feeds the ceiling exhaust fan and chime transformer.
Conclusion:
Thus, the circuit used to supply the workshop lighting is A17.
(b)
Mention the type of circuit that is used to supply the plug-in strip over the workbench.
Answer to Problem 1R
The circuit used to supply the plug-in strip receptacles over the workbench is A18.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Refer to Figure 18-1 in the textbook that shows the conduit layout for workshop. The plug-in strip receptacles and the receptacles connected to the right of the main panelboard are supplied with circuit A18. The receptacles mounted in an unfinished basement are protected with GFCI protection and accomplished by installing GFCI receptacles or GFCI circuit breakers in panelboard A.
Conclusion:
Thus, the circuit used to supply the plug-in strip receptacles over the workbench is A18.
(c)
Mention the type of circuit that is used to supply the freezer receptacle.
Answer to Problem 1R
The circuit used to supply the freezer receptacle is A13.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
Refer to Figure 18-1 in the textbook that shows the conduit layout for workshop. In this layout, the freezer single receptacle is supplied with circuit A13. Refer to Figure 18-9 in the textbook that shows the outlet boxes (a handy box) used for the freezer receptacles.
Conclusion:
Thus, the circuit used to supply the freezer receptacle is A13.

- a. The Code requires a minimum of two small-appliance circuits in a kitchen. Is it permitted to connect a receptacle in a dining room to one of the kitchen small-appliance circuits? _______________ What Code section applies to this situation? _______________ b. Are outdoor weatherproof receptacles permitted to be connected to a 20-ampere small-appliance circuit? _______________ c. Receptacles located above the countertops in the kitchen must be supplied by at least _______________ 20-ampere small-appliance circuits.arrow_forwardThe recessed fluorescent luminaires installed in the ceiling of the recreation room of this residence are connected with trade size flexible metal conduit. These flexible connections are commonly referred to as fixture whips. Does the flexible metal conduit provide adequate grounding for the luminaires, or must a separate equipment grounding conductor be installed? ________________arrow_forwardDoes the Code permit attaching the low-voltage thermostat cable to the EMT that brings power to a furnace? (Yes) (No) (Circle the correct answer.) Give the NEC section numbers. ____________arrow_forward
- For a single, nonmotor-operated electrical appliance rated greater than 13.3 amperes that has no marking that would indicate the size of branch-circuit overcurrent device, what percentage of the nameplate rating is used to determine the maximum size branch-circuit overcurrent device? _________________arrow_forwardWhy is it permissible to omit an electric space heater, water heater, and certain other 240-volt equipment when calculating the neutral service-entrance conductor for a residence? ____arrow_forwardThe following is a layout of the lighting circuit for the Laundry, Powder Room, Rear Entry Hall, and Attic. Complete the wiring diagram using colored pens or pencils to indicate conductor insulation color. The GFCI receptacle in the Powder Room is not shown in the diagram because it is connected to a separate circuit, B21.arrow_forward
- For laundry equipment in basements, what sort of electrical circuitry is required by the Code? ________________arrow_forwardMay the 20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits in the kitchen of a residence also supply the lighting above the kitchen sink and under-cabinet lighting? Check the correct answer. Yes______ No ______arrow_forwardAssuming that an outlet box for the entry ceiling has a fixture stud but has external cable clamps, what size box could be installed? Show calculations for both metal and nonmetallic boxes. ___________arrow_forward
- What unique type of electrical protection is required for all 120-volt, single-phase, 15-and 20-ampere branch circuits in certain habitable rooms and areas in new dwellings? Where in the NEC is this requirement found? ____________________arrow_forwardConstruction sites can be dangerous because of the manner in which extension cords, portable electrical tools, and other electrical equipment are used and abused. To reduce this hazard, 590.6(A) of the NEC requires that all 125-volt, single-phase, 15-, 20-, and 30-ampere receptacle outlets used for temporary wiring during construction must be _________________ protected.arrow_forward
