Chapter 15, Problem 9R
The 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.

QUESTION 3
We are running 3 wires and a ground in a RMC to a control panel with a 60 amp circuit breaker disconnect in the control panel. The conduit is run along the ceiling where the ambient air temperature is 100 degrees. The control panel feeds our secondary cooling pump. What size are the ungrounded conductors? All conductors have typeTHHN insulation.
Which of the following statements about equipment grounding conductors (EGCS) is true?
A. The National Electrical Code permits the EGC to also perform as a grounding electrode conductor.
B. More than one EGC must be used if multiple circuits are installed in a single raceway, cable, or cable tray.
C. No current should be present in the EGC during normal operation.
D. EGCs are required to be decreased in size to address voltage drop.
