NFPA 70E ELECTRICAL HAZARD SAFETY
EXAM SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⫸ Accessible (as applied to wiring methods) - Capable of being
removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish or
not permanently closed in by the structure or finish of the building.
⫸ Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible) - Capable of being reached
quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to
whom ready access is requisite to take actions such as to use tools (other
than keys), to climb over or under, to remove obstacles, or to resort to
portable ladders, and so forth.
⫸ Arc Flash Hazard - A source of possible injury or damage to health
associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc.
⫸ What elements increase the likelihood of an arc flash incident? -
When energized electrical conductors or circuit parts are exposed or
when they are within equipment in a guarded or enclosed condition,
provided a person is interacting with the equipment in such a manner
that could cause an electric arc.
⫸ Arc Flash Suit - A complete arc-rated clothing and equipment system
that covers the entire body, except for the hands and feet.
, ⫸ Arc Rating - The value attributed to materials that describes their
performance to exposure to an electrical arc discharge. This is expressed
in cal/cm2 and is derived from the determined value of the arc thermal
performance value or energy of breakopen threshold.
⫸ How is arc rating reported? - ATPV (arc thermal performance value)
or Ebt (energy of breakopen threshold), whichever is the lower value.
⫸ Attachment Plug (Plug Cap) - A device that, by insertion in a
receptacle, establishes a connection between the conductors of the
attached flexible cord and the conductors connected permanently to the
receptacle.
⫸ Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) - An organization, office, or
individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of a code or
standard, or for approving equipment, materials, an installation, or a
procedure.
⫸ Automatic - Performing a function without the necessity of human
intervention.
⫸ Balaclava (Sock Hood). - An arc-rated hood that protects the neck
and head except for the facial area of the eyes and nose.
