Seems like class assignment or test questions...

What are your answers and why?

We'll weigh in once you provide the above.

Supervisors test questions these are easier than the other thread i posted some of the test questions confused me on how and when to reduce receptacle loads because of the way they were listed and the answers provided

Didn't check the ampere calc' but everything looks good to me.

BTW, 208V x sqrt(3) is exactly 360.
208V is a rounded value of 120V x sqrt(3).

Protection is based on xfmr rated current.

The max pri ocpd rating is when you have secondary protection.
