a.

Find whether the code permits to install bare incandescent lamps in porcelain keyless or porcelain pull-chain lamp holders.
Answer to Problem 14R
No, the code does not permit to install bare incandescent lamps in porcelain keyless or porcelain pull-chain lamp holders.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The National Electrical Code committee develops NEC - the standard electrical code, and the main objective for the origin of the code is to protect and safeguard people and elements from the electrical hazards. The codes for defining clothes closet luminaires are explained in an article NEC 410.16.
According to an article NEC 410.16(B), the incandescent luminaires with fully open or partially enclosed lamps and the pendant luminaires or pendant lamp holders are not permitted to be installed in a closet.
Therefore, the bare incandescent lamp that is an uncovered lamp is not permitted to be installed in a closet.
Conclusion:
Thus, the code does not permit to install bare incandescent lamps in porcelain keyless or porcelain pull-chain lamp holders.
b.

Find whether the code permits to install bare fluorescent lamp luminaires in a closet.
Answer to Problem 14R
Yes, the code permits to install bare fluorescent lamp luminaires in a closet.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.16(A)(2), the recessed fluorescent luminaires or surface-mounted luminaires are permitted to be installed in a closet.
Therefore, the bare fluorescent lamp luminaires, which are uncovered lamps, are permitted to be installed in a closet.
Conclusion:
Thus, the code permits to install bare fluorescent lamp luminaires in a closet.
c.

Find whether the code permits to install pendant lamp holders in a closet.
Answer to Problem 14R
No, the code does not permit to install pendant lamp holders in a closet.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.16(B), the incandescent luminaires with fully open or partially enclosed lamps and the pendant luminaires or pendant lamp holders are not permitted to be installed in a closet.
Conclusion:
Thus, the code does not permit to install pendant lamp holders in a closet.
d.

Find the minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted incandescent luminaires.
Answer to Problem 14R
The minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted incandescent luminaires is
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.16(C)(1), the minimum clearance distance between surface-mounted incandescent or LED luminaires with fully enclosed light source that is permitted to be installed on the wall either above the ceiling or the door and the nearest point of a closet space is
Conclusion:
Thus, minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted incandescent luminaires is
e.

Find the minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires.
Answer to Problem 14R
The minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires is
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.16(C)(2), the minimum clearance distance between surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires, which are permitted to be installed on the wall either above the ceiling or the door and the nearest point of a closet space, is
Conclusion:
Thus, minimum clearance distance from the storage area to surface-mounted fluorescent luminaires is
f.

Find the minimum clearance distance between the storage area and recessed incandescent luminaires or fluorescent luminaires.
Answer to Problem 14R
The minimum clearance distance between the storage area and recessed incandescent luminaires or fluorescent luminaires is
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.16(C)(3), the minimum clearance distance between recessed incandescent luminaires or LED luminaires with fully enclosed light source that is permitted to be installed on the wall above the ceiling or the door and the nearest point of a closet space is
Conclusion:
Thus, minimum clearance distance between the storage area and recessed incandescent luminaires or fluorescent luminaires is
g.

Define the term “storage area”.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.2, the volume is bounded by the back and sides of the closet walls and the planes that extend from the closet floor in vertical to the height of
Conclusion:
Thus, the term “storage area” is defined.
h.

Find the storage area space under the clothes hanging rod.
Answer to Problem 14R
The storage area space under the clothes hanging rod is
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
According to an article NEC 410.2, the closet can provide access to both sides of the hanging rod; the space can include the volume that is below the highest rod and extends
Conclusion:
Thus, storage area space under the clothes hanging rod is
