The NEC defines terms in which article?

The NEC defines terms in which article?

• A. Article 100
• B. Article 430
• C. Article 200
• D. Article 310

Answer: (A)

Definitions are laid out in the article that collects and standardizes terminology used throughout the NEC. This article lists terms and their precise meanings so everyone reads and applies them consistently, no matter which part of the code you’re working with. The other articles focus on specific topics—motor circuits and controllers, use and identification of conductors, or general wiring methods—rather than defining terms. So the article that provides the official definitions is where terms are defined.
