On a warehouse conversion at final inspection, a dwelling service calculation exceeds the proposed main rating; what is the compliant response?
- AChange the panel label
- BAssume loads never overlap
- CReduce grounding-electrode size
- Add capacity or load management
Why D is correct
Service capacity must accommodate the calculated demand; unsupported diversity assumptions and labeling do not reduce that demand. The best answer is therefore “Increase capacity or revise loads using a permitted load-management method.” The other choices either address a different system, rely on an unsafe shortcut, or make a conclusion not supported by the stated facts.
