Question 1 of 10
What is the voltage rating of a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
NEMA 14-60 receptacles are designed for 125/250V applications.
Question 2 of 10
What is the current rating of a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
The '60' in NEMA 14-60 indicates a 60-ampere rating.
Question 3 of 10
How many wires does a NEMA 14-60 receptacle typically require?
A NEMA 14-60 receptacle is a 3-pole, 4-wire configuration: two hots, neutral, and ground.
Question 4 of 10
Which terminal on a NEMA 14-60 receptacle connects to the ground wire?
The G (or U-shaped) terminal is for the ground (EGC) connection.
Question 5 of 10
What wire color is typically used for the hot (Line 1) connection to a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
Black wire is typically used for Hot 1 (Line 1).
Question 6 of 10
What is the purpose of the neutral wire in a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
The neutral wire provides a return path for current.
Question 7 of 10
What is the recommended wire size for a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
Wire size can range from #4 to #10 AWG for this application.
Question 8 of 10
What type of breaker is recommended for a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
A 60A breaker is typically used to protect a 60A circuit.
Question 9 of 10
What is the purpose of a GFCI breaker when used with a NEMA 14-60 receptacle?
A GFCI breaker protects against ground faults, which can cause electric shock.
Question 10 of 10
What is the maximum continuous load, according to NEC, that a 60A circuit can handle?
According to NEC, a continuous load should not exceed 80% of the circuit's capacity, therefore 0.8 * 60A = 48A
