Correct answer to question 6059
- C: Same length, material, size, insulation, and termination
Explanation
Paralleled conductors in each phase, polarity, or grounded conductor set must be the same length, same conductor material, same size, same insulation type, and terminated the same way so the current divides equally. See 310.10(H) in NEC 2020 and 310.10(G) in NEC 2023 and 2026.
