What Part Of Article 230 Addresses Services Exceeding 1,000 Volts, Nominal?

From PSI practice test, What is the minimum size copper conductor permitted for use for a vi,000 volt service? Reply is 6AWG. Where is a lawmaking reference to sizing wire based on voltage?
Other than that I think I'm ready. head only moderately spinning from the last month of study.:blink: Thanks, Don

Never heard of a 6000V service. Y'all don't size wires based on voltage, you size them based on amperage. I've taken about nine PSI exams and never seen that question.

Could be they were thinking of this:

VIII. Services Exceeding 1000 Volts, Nominal230.200 General. Service conductors and equipment used
on circuits exceeding yard volts, nominal, shall comply
with all the applicable provisions of the preceding sections
of this article and with the following sections that supple-
ment or modify the preceding sections. In no case shall the
provisions of Part VIII apply to equipment on the supply
side of the service point.

I recall that since many of us don't deal with it on a regular basis that we tend to overlook the over 1000 volt stuff. IMO the 6000 volts is just there for confusion.

How about 310.106(A) and Table 310.106(A).

At 5001 to 8000 Volts the minimum copper conductor size is #6.

How about 310.106(A) and Table 310.106(A).

At 5001 to 8000 Volts the minimum copper conductor size is #half-dozen.

I guess that backs upwards what Trevor stated
