31. 3 motors with full load amp ratings of 10 20 and 30 are fed by one feeder. The motor feeder conductors must have an ampacity of at least how many amps?


32. Branch circuit ECGs serving receptacles for sensitive electronic equipment shall be grounded. The ECG shal be run to the bus marked what?


33. Instrumentation tray cable with 22 awg conductors is permitted to be used for circuits operating at a max of how many amps?




Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!

You posted this same question at electricians talk and we asked you there to try and answer the questions. We gave you art. numbers and all-- we are not going to do your homework. Sorry

If you try to find the answers you will learn better.

It is like driving, the more you drive the streets the better you will learn the streets. If someone drives you around town, you will not learn what street leads to what.

The more practice you do with the code book the better you will learn how the books works.

If we give you the answer, what are you going to do if someone asks you a question on a job site? Who are going to call?

No problem...

~Autocorrect is My Worst Enema.~
If you wanna call me up and explain every answer
to me ill pay ya 85 bucks. Not even joking. Let me know

*explain* every answer?

"engineering support" presumes the client has some
familiarity with the work, and needs a capable set
of experienced eyes to help out.

"tuition" is a whole 'nother thang altogether.

what you have is a code test, commonly inflicted
upon apprentices, and people sitting for a masters,
or contractors, license.

this is a professional forum. you have to have some familiarity
with the work, for this to be a useful experience for you.

and no, we aren't gonna do your homework for you.
this isn't mommyNdaddy.com

sorry.

you could try electriciantalk.com

ask for frunkslammer.... tell him i sent you.

Thanks for the homework. I think I might just do this on my own to sharpen my skills and remind me of things I may have forgotten.

We will close it now.

To the OP, your answers or directions to find them should be in your study materials.
