I would like to thank you. I crammed last night and watched this video and a couple of your other videos. I went in today and took my Texas Masters test, passed both portions of the test. I did pretty good for a first time, no test prep course and about 4 hours of sleep. your lectures really helped with the all the calc.

My Master Exam in Harrisburg PA is scheduled for August 17th, i bought a practice exam for 35$ off electrician U and bought a 2400 code generator from Mike Holt for 35$. Between you and those 2 items I think I got this. I scored a 64% on my practice test before I started studying for my masters, 2nd attempt after 3 weeks of studying I got a 76%. Thank you for breaking these videos down so well for us to use to prepare for our exams. Last test I took was 2015 for my Journeymans, if I had to do it all over again, Id of taken the masters right after, not 7 years later!

@@electrical1019 THANK YOU!! Thank you for all the videos, I officially passed my Masters Exam on 8/17. Your videos helped big time with the way you broke everything down for us to follow. The code generator from mike holt helped me increase my speed navigating through the code book, but the breakdown of the calculations made my life 100% easier.

Great video! Couple of questions: Since 220.44 states that we can use either T220.42 or T220.44 for calculating receptacle loads, 1) Why did you choose to use T220.44? 2) How do we know which table the exam will expect us to use? Are we supposed to calculate both ways and take the larger? That can make a big difference in the total outcome. Or am I reading that wrong? Thanks for all your work! James

Table 220.42 applies to the general lighting load as determined by by table 220.12 as well as the receptacle load, where as table 220.44 applies to non-dwelling receptacle loads only. Since for warehouses the demand factors are based 12,500VA in table 220.42 and 10,000VA in table 220.44, it is more effective to apply table 220.44 to the receptacle loads instead of table 220.42. Hope that helps!

@@electrical1019 Thanks for the response! So it appears that we have some discretion as to which method we choose to implement. I guess I'll just hope that the multiple choice answers will make it clear which way the exam expects us to calculate it. Thanks for the confirmation. I was pulling my hair out over this!

So if no other "motor loads" are given, we don't ever apply the 25% increase to the ac or heater motor whichever is greater? It's only referring to a separate motor if givin?
@electrical1019
Жыл бұрын
Correct, however in the 2020 NEC this is updated so that we do have to include the AC or heater motor even if we did not select it while evaluating 220.60. For 2017, however, we would not include them.

According to Table 220.12, what kind of occupancy are commercial bakeries or kitchens (no associated restaurant)?
@electrical1019
Жыл бұрын
Often times it can be a little vague as to which occupancy a certain building will actually be, and usually the inspector or AHJ will need to make a call on what it should be. Personally, I would probably classify a bakery or kitchen as a restaurant for the purpose of a load calculation since the actual load of a restaurant will really be in the cooking area rather than the dining area, and a bakery or kitchen would have a similar cooking area to that of a restaurant. Hope that helps!

Where in this would you add electric water heaters?

That would be included under 220.14(A) which states for loads not covered under 220.14(B) through (L) we include the ampere rating of the appliance. Hope that helps!

How would someone figure out the heating load and a.c. load if it was not given to us?
@electrical1019

Ji Jorge, if that AC/Heating load(s) are not provided to you, then you would not include them. It is the responsibility of the property owner and/or constructor to provide the electrician with this information.

You're posting this in mid 2021 using 2017 code. The table 220.12 is completely different than the same 220.12 table in 2017. Hard to actually learn and follow along, can't watch this... The updated code book is so much more confusing to me, need to find a video that goes over the 2020 version. :(

Hi Jason, these videos are primarily made for use in the state of Kentucky, which is currently under the 2017 code. In addition to Kentucky, around 25 other states are still on the 2017 code, and less than 10 have actually adopted the 2020 code (for the time being anyway, hopefully we'll see more states adopt the 2020 soon). We've been working on some versions of these videos for our viewers in states that do use the 2020 code. Thank you for the feedback!

This course is designed for students who intend to take an electrical licensing examination in the state of Kentucky. At the time of these videos being released, the newest edition of the NEC that Kentucky has adopted is the 2017 edition.

Heck Washington DC still tests the 2011 for master examination. Your examples are really simple to follow. Thanks for clarification
