Texas Journeyman exam practice question · Services & Separately Derived Systems

Field documentation shows available fault current greater than the service equipment short-circuit rating. What is required before energizing?

  • AReplace only the panel directory
  • Increase equipment rating or reduce fault current by an approved design
  • CAdd warning tape to the service raceway
  • DIncrease the normal-load ampacity label

Why B is correct

Equipment must be suitable for the available fault current. Labels do not provide withstand capability; the design must use adequately rated equipment or an engineered, permitted method that limits the fault exposure.
