When the electrical service is less than 100 amps at 110/220 volts, which of the following is MOST LIKELY to occur?
  1. Power distribution becomes uneven.
  2. Circuit breaker trips more frequently.
  3. Major electrical appliances don't run.
  4. Electrical fuses blow more often.
Explanation
Answer: B - When the electrical service is less than 100 amps at 110/220 volts, it is most likely that circuit breakers will trip more frequently. Electrical systems rely on circuit breakers to prevent electricity flow overloads. When there is too much pressure on the electrical system because of insufficient amperage, circuit breakers interrupt or shut off access to electricity. Breakers for the affected area flip to the off position so the system is not damaged.
