An electrical panel schedule shows a 200-amp main breaker with 30 circuits each rated at 20 amps. What is the total connected load?
Correct Answer
B) 600 amps
Total connected load = 30 circuits × 20 amps = 600 amps. This exceeds the 200-amp main breaker capacity, which is acceptable due to demand factors and load diversity.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Total connected load = 30 circuits × 20 amps = 600 amps. This exceeds the 200-amp main breaker capacity, which is acceptable due to demand factors and load diversity.
