Answer options:

  • any load greater than 1000 VA. ✅ a circuit at 150 volts-to-ground or less.
  • a load to a building or structure.
  • any 3-phase load.

Correct answer: a circuit at 150 volts-to-ground or less.

Explanation: CEC Rule 10-204(1)(a) mandates that a separately derived AC system must be grounded if the system can be so connected that the circuit conductors can supply a load at 150 volts-to-ground or less.
