- 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.
