Class test question

[RonP]

I came across a quiz question with my students that caused a heated debate. Quest.
The nec allows what maximum number of receptacle outlets to be connected on a 120 volt residential lighting or small -appliance branch circuit?
A) eight
B) ten
C) thirteen
D) unlimited


I thought it seemed really clear. When you pick out the key words eg (residential).

Any thoughts?
Thanks RonP

how many

RonP, It's an age old test question in this area and a valid one IMHO. Around here, however, it's been discussed so much, most folks know the answer even if they don't understand why.

the answer is unlimited for residential, 13 for 20 amps commercial, and 10 for 15 amps commercial. If you'd like to know why contact me:
