P Connection of metal parts to establish electrical continuity and conductivity.

Bonded

100

kitchen countertop receptacles must be installed so that no point along the wall line is more than this distance from an outlet.


24 inches

100

This NEC article primarily governs the installation, design, wire methods, etc. of solar photovoltaic systems


690

100

The acronym EVSE stands for this

Electric Vehicle supply equipment

200

Locations protected from weather and not subject to saturation with water or other liquids but subject to moderate degrees of moisture are this type of location

Damp

200

receptacles in dwelling unit habitable rooms must be installed so that no point along the floor line is more than this far from an outlet.


6 feet

200

PV system disconnecting means must be readily accessible and capable of disconnecting all current-carrying conductors except this one.


Grounded conductor

200

This type of transfer switch allows for the installation of circuit breakers and generator conductors all in the same panel.

Load center transfer switch

200

A 48 amp hardwired EV charger must be installed on this size breaker

60

300

All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.

Feeder

300

In a dwelling unit, at least two of these are required to serve the kitchen, pantry, dining, and similar areas.


Small appliance branch circuits

300

This device converts DC power from the PV array to AC power to be compatible with the utility grid.


Inverter

300

A transfer switch prevents this dangerous condition when a generator is connected to a utility-fed panel.


Backfeeding

300

A level 3 charger is powered by a _____ volt system

480

400

An organization, office, or individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of a code or standard, or for approving equipment, materials, an installation, or a procedure is known as this.

AHJ

400

at least one outdoor receptacle must be installed at the front and back of a dwelling unit and must be accessible at or below this height.


6 1/2 feet

400

load-side connections or (backfed breakers) are only allowed when the sum of the ampere ratings of all overcurrent devices supplying power to a busbar does not exceed this percentage of the busbar rating.


120%

400

To allow for expansion as temperatures fluctuate, propane tanks are filled to this percentage.

80%

400

Dedicated circuits are required for all EVSE outlets greater than this many amperes

16

500

two or more ungrounded conductors that have a voltage between them, and a grounded conductor that has equal voltage between it and each ungrounded conductor are this type of circuit

MWBC

500

When determining the maximum number of receptacle outlets permitted on a branch circuit in a commercial occupancy, the load per outlet is calculated at this volt-ampere rating


180

500

In a DC-coupled system, the PV array charges the battery bank through this device, rather than routing power through the inverter first.


Charge controller

500

The Fuel shut off valve must be installed in a readily accessible location and within this many feet of the generator fuel inlet

6 feet

500

Unless equipped with a charging cable management system, the maximum length of a level 2 charger cord is this many feet.
