NEC Article 215 covers which electrical system component?

• A. Feeder
• B. Branch circuits
• C. Lighting
• D. Service equipment

Answer: (A)

Feeder systems are what Article 215 governs. A feeder is the set of conductors and equipment that carry power from the service equipment or distribution equipment to the next distribution point, such as a panelboard or subpanel. Article 215 defines the rules for sizing these feeders, their protection, and installation methods, distinguishing them from branch circuits (which run from a distribution point to outlets and lights) and from service equipment (which covers service disconnects and service conductors). Lighting and other loads aren’t the focus of Article 215; they’re addressed under other parts of the code. So the component described by NEC Article 215 is the feeder.
