NASCLA Electrical exam practice question · Wiring & Protection

Plan review establishes that the calculated service demand exceeds the proposed main rating. Which response addresses the design mismatch?

  • AChange the panel label
  • BAssume loads never overlap
  • CReduce grounding-electrode size
  • Add capacity or load management

Where to look it up

Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.

Why D is correct

Revise the design so the service capacity accommodates the applicable calculated demand, or use a load revision or management method only where permitted and properly evaluated. Relabeling equipment, reducing grounding size or unsupported assumptions about simultaneous use do not resolve the mismatch.
