When computing box fill, 3-12 AWG conductors and 2-14 AWG conductors would total __________ cubic inches.
A) 10.00
B) 10.25
C) 10.50
D) 10.75

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume allowance for a 12 AWG conductor is 2.25 cubic inches, and for a 14 AWG conductor, it is 2.00 cubic inches. Therefore, 3-12 AWG conductors equal 6.75 cubic inches (3 x 2.25), and 2-14 AWG conductors equal 4.00 cubic inches (2 x 2.00). The total is 10.75 cubic inches (6.75 + 4.00).
