The Kansas Standard Master Electrician ICC KGD examination is an open book test. Candidates may use approved reference materials in accordance with ICC examination rules.
The designated references are NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 Edition and Ugly's Electrical References.
The examination supplies 300 minutes for 100 questions. If time is divided evenly, candidates have an average of approximately three minutes per question. Familiarity with the NEC can help reduce the amount of time required for individual lookups.
The NEC is organized by chapters and articles covering general requirements, wiring and protection, wiring methods and materials, equipment, special occupancies, special equipment, special conditions, and communications systems. Candidates should understand this overall structure before test day.
A useful strategy is to identify the exact electrical subject before searching. Determine whether the question involves a service, feeder, branch circuit, conductor, wiring method, motor, controller, device, or special occupancy. Then move directly toward the relevant NEC article or table.
Calculations should be approached in the same organized way. Identify what the problem is asking for, determine the applicable NEC rules and values, and then complete the arithmetic. Avoid performing calculations before confirming that you are using the correct code criteria.
Ugly's Electrical References can support quick access to commonly used formulas, electrical data, conversions, motor information, and other reference material. Practice using it before the exam so that you know when it offers a faster path than searching the NEC.
Master electrician licensing in Kansas can be administered by individual cities and counties. Candidates should review the licensing requirements of the jurisdiction where they intend to work.
Electrical licensing in Kansas can be administered locally. Cities and counties may establish electrical trade classifications, qualification standards, accepted examinations, applications, and renewal requirements.
The ICC KGD examination serves as a Kansas Standard Master Electrician competency exam for participating jurisdictions. Passing the examination demonstrates performance on the designated test, but it does not automatically create an electrical license valid throughout every Kansas jurisdiction.
Local authorities may establish additional qualification requirements involving electrical trade experience, previous journeyman credentials, training records, employment verification, and application documentation. Candidates should review the requirements of the jurisdiction where the master electrician credential will be used.
Electrical professionals should also distinguish between the NEC edition used for the exam and the electrical code currently enforced on active projects. The KGD examination described here uses the 2017 National Electrical Code. Field installations must comply with the code edition and amendments adopted by the authority having jurisdiction.
A master electrician is expected to understand the relationships among electrical services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, conductors, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, motors, equipment, controls, and specialized installations.
The KGD exam reflects this broad responsibility by testing both general and specialized electrical knowledge. Candidates benefit from studying systems as connected parts rather than treating each NEC article as an isolated subject.
A productive study plan for the Kansas Standard Master Electrician KGD exam should follow the published content outline while also recognizing that many topics overlap. Conductor selection, grounding, overcurrent protection, services, feeders, and equipment requirements can appear together within the same practical electrical problem.
Begin with NEC organization. Learn the major chapters and become comfortable using the table of contents and index. The ability to recognize where a subject belongs can save time throughout the entire examination.
Study electrical theory and general calculations. General Knowledge includes electrical theory and general electrical load calculations. Review basic electrical relationships and practice applying formulas to realistic problems.
Include plan reading. The General Knowledge category includes plan reading. Practice interpreting electrical plans, symbols, circuit information, loads, and equipment details and relating that information to NEC requirements.
Give Wiring Methods and Materials substantial attention. At 26 percent, this is the largest content category. Review raceways, underground installations, boxes, enclosures, cabinets, panelboards, switchboards, guarding, clearances, flexible cords, and cable systems.
Study branch circuits and conductors. This category represents 19 percent of the exam. Practice branch-circuit calculations, conductor selection, overcurrent protection, required outlets, GFCI and AFCI requirements, and equipment grounding.
Practice conductor sizing. Become comfortable using NEC ampacity information and recognizing when installation conditions affect conductor selection. Pay close attention to conductor material, insulation, temperature limitations, and other conditions stated in each question.
Study services and service equipment. Review service-load calculations, fault-current concepts, service conductors, disconnects, transformers, grounding and bonding, and temporary service wiring.
