Texas Journeyman exam practice question · Equipment & Devices

Replacement equipment has adequate ampacity but an insufficient short-circuit rating. May it be installed?

  • AYes, because normal load is lower
  • BYes, if a larger equipment ground is installed
  • No; its fault-current rating must be adequate for the installation
  • DYes, if a warning label is added

Why C is correct

Ampacity addresses normal current, while short-circuit rating addresses fault energy. Grounding size and labels do not increase tested withstand or interrupting capability.
