Last week I took the WA 01 admin test and missed 4 out 10 I know i got most of cals rights in the beginning but the last 4 questions i think i got wrong. At first i thought it was an easy because it was asking me many 15 amp circuits on a X By X lighting load.
Square foot x 3
appliance x 2
laundry x1
Do a standard cal for single dwelling and than come up with the total VA lighting
I guess my question is a 15 amp 120v load in va is 1800va however, started thinking after the test and forgot that you can not use a 100% of the breaker load (1800) You can only use 80% (1440)va or 16 amps. Is this the right train of thought or am i off.:-?
Thanks
