Question

Generally, branch- circuit conductors shall have an ampacity sufficient for the loads served and shall be or large? A. 22AWG B. 4 AWG C. 24 AWG D. 14 AWG

Answer 1

D. 14 AWG

Step-by-step explanation:

Ampacity is defined as the maximum current carry by a conductor without increasing the temperature rating.

All branch circuit conductors shall have an ampacity of at least 14 AWG.

That is why 14 AWG electric wire is a stranded copper wire widely used in circuits.

Hence, the correct option is D. 14 AWG.
