A PV source circuit has a calculated maximum current of 12 amperes before the conductor continuous-current factor is applied. What conductor ampacity results from a 125-percent factor?
- 15 amperes
- B12 amperes
- C24 amperes
- D9.6 amperes
Why A is correct
The question states that 12 amperes is already the calculated maximum current before the conductor factor. Multiplying 12 by 1.25 gives 15 amperes, avoiding an unsupported second factor.
