What is the maximum number of allowed ampacity for a General Electrical electrician?

The maximum ampacity for a General Electrical electrician is actually 200 amps. This means an electrician certified in general electrical work is allowed to work on systems that can handle up to 200 amps of electrical current. This capacity aligns with common residential service needs and allows for a broad range of electrical work, including installations and repairs in homes.

The first option of 120 amps does not reflect the current standards and limits for general electrical work, as many residential systems require capabilities exceeding this. The other choices—150 amps and 300 amps—are also not accurate for a General Electrical electrician in Washington State. While there are situations where higher ampacity could be relevant, a General Electrical electrician’s certification typically covers systems capped at 200 amps, ensuring they're trained to handle most residential and light commercial electrical installations safely and effectively.
