Question 13054 of 749 · Maryland Journeyperson Electrician Exam
A raceway contains two 3-phase, 4-wire wye circuits, and the loads are mainly electronic (nonlinear), so the neutrals count as current-carrying. Equipment grounding conductors are also present. What adjustment factor applies?

Correct answer to question 13054
- B: 70 %
Explanation
Each circuit has three phase conductors plus a neutral that must be counted, giving 8 current-carrying conductors, and 7 to 9 conductors call for 70 %. Equipment grounding conductors are never counted.
