Continuous Load
A continuous load is a load where the maximum current is expected to continue for three hours or more..
-
Induction heating
- the heating of a conducting material as a result of the electric
- currents induced in it by an externally applied alternating magnetic
- field
-
What is the minimum amperage required for a main residential panel.
100A
-
What is the power delivered from the utility companies.
120/240 volts single phase.
-
Short circuits
- A low-resistance connection established by accident or intention between
- two points in an electric circuit. The current tends to flow through
- the area of low resistance, bypassing the rest of the circuit either phase to phase or phase to neutral.
-
Ground Faults
The momentary, usually accidental, grounding of a conducting wire. Usually ground to any current carry conductor.
-
What are the temperature rating of the wires for underground, indoors, and outdoors.
- 60 deg C or 140 deg F -Underground
- 75 deg C or 167 def F- Indoors
- 90 deg C 0r 195 deg F - Outdoors

Objectionable Current
- "objectionable current" is any current flow over conductors not designed
- to NORMALLY be current carrying. One cause can be from improper bonding pass the Main as in having your grounded across your grounding wire.
