- In order to wire a post light, a homeowner purchased some single-conductor cable that was marked as suitable for direct burial in the ground. A separate equipment grounding conductor to the post light was not carried. Instead, the bottom of the metal post, buried 2 ft (0.6 m) into the ground, was used as a ground for the post light.

And if you would be installing the wire inside an EMT conduit, what size would you use assuming that there would be 4 wires inside the EMTarrow_forwardAssume you are an electrical apprentice. The electrical foreman on the job tells you to connect some equipment grounding conductors to the ground bus that runs along the front bottom of a dead-front switchboard. The system is 480Y/277-volt solidly grounded wye. The building is still under construction, and a number of other trades are working in the building. The switchboard has already been energized, and it is totally enclosed except for two access covers near the front bottom where the ground bus runs. The ground bus already has the proper number of and size of lugs for the equipment gtrounding conductors. You ask permission to turn off the main power so that you can work on the connecdting the equipment grounding conductors to the ground bus without having to worry about accidentally touching the phase buses with your hands or with a screwdriver or wrench. The foreman says, :No” What wound you do?arrow_forwardFour electricians are discussing wiring under raised floors in information technology equipment rooms. Electrician A says that wiring under the raised floor requires fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings between other occupancies. Electrician B says that wiring under the raised floor requires fire resistant halfway up the walls and floors between other occupancies. Electrician C says that the room must employ a disconnecting means that removes half of the power to all equipment in the room. Electrician D says that a disconnecting means isn't necessary for the room. Which of the following statements is correct? A. Electrician B is correct. B. Electrician D is correct. C.
