What ampacity must all branch-circuit conductors used for wiring a ceiling outlet box be de-rated at?
Select one:
a.
150° C
b.
60° C
C.
75° C
d.
90° C
Why do ceiling outlet boxes on which a fixture may be hung require a conductor insulation rating
higher than the de-rated value of 60° C?
Select one:
а.
because of the possibility of too many outlets on the same branch circuit
b.
because of the possibility of too much heat from the fixture lamp
С.
because of the possibility of oversized fixture drawing more current
d.
because of the possibility that the thermal protective device could fail
