Exam 13: Switching Circuit Installation

Motor loads not exceeding 80% of the ampere rating of the switch at its rated voltage are permitted to be controlled by alternating current general-use snap switches.

Which of the following switches tend to generate the most heat?

When wiring a house with a conduit wiring method, a __________ insulated wire cannot be used in a traditional switch loop as a "hot" ungrounded conductor.

The brass-colored terminals on a three-way switch are called the __________ terminals.

The white wire used in a traditional switch loop wired with a two-wire cable like Type NM must be reidentified.This is normally done with black electrical tape.
