Chapter 28, Problem 16R
While working on the main panelboard that is energized, the electrician inadvertently causes a direct short circuit (line to ground) on one of the branch-circuit breakers. The available fault current at the main service equipment is rather high. The panelboard is labelled “Series-Connected.” The main breaker is rated 100 amperes. Both branch-circuit breaker and main breaker trip OFF. This condition is referred to as being (selective) (nonselective). (Circle the correct answer.)
