Planning & EstimatingQuestion 401 of 521
A dwelling's standard-method net calculated load is 28,600 VA on a 240 V service. What is the smallest standard service size that will carry it?
a.100 A
b.125 A
c.150 A
d.110 A
Explanation
28,600 ÷ 240 = 119 A, so the service must exceed 119 A; the next standard size is 125 A. A 100 A or 110 A service would be too small for a 119 A demand.
