EXAM QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
ANSWERS
⩥ Grounding (5.5.5.5). Answer: Establishing a physical wire path that
gives electricity a path to earth/ground.
⩥ Bonding (5.5.5.5). Answer: Connection of non-current carrying
conductive elements ie. enclosures and structures.
⩥ Conductor plating (5.5.5.1). Answer: Copper wire plated with Tin,
Silver, or Nickel. Tin is the most common. wire plating has a slower
oxidation rate than bare copper.
⩥ Voltage drop in wires (5.5.5.1). Answer: Should not exceed 2% of the
regulated voltage when the generator is carrying rated current or the
battery is being discharged at 5 minute rate.
⩥ The allowable voltage drop in a 28 volt continuous circuit is:
a. 1 volt
b. 2 volts
c. 5 volts
d. 4 volts. Answer: a. 1 volt
, ⩥ Voltage rating (5.5.5.1). Answer: The voltage rating of a cable is the
highest voltage that may be continuously applied to a completed cable
construction in compliance with the relevant cable standard or
specification
⩥ Shielded wire (5.5.5.1). Answer: Electrical wire that is enclosed in a
braided metal jacket. Electromagnetic energy radiated from the wire is
trapped by the braid and is carried to ground.
⩥ Receiving Inspection (5.4.1.1). Answer: ensure that incoming parts
are checked against purchase orders, manufacturers specifications,
drawings and dimensions and other available documentation to
CONFIRM AUTHENTICITY of the material. Conformance to
applicable technical standards will be verified. Incoming material must
be separated from previously inspected material
⩥ cable (5.5.5.1). Answer: A bundle of wires covered by rubber or
plastic along which an electric current can pass.
⩥ New Equipment Acceptance (5.4.1). Answer: Receiving inspection,
physical condition, inventory of equipment and accessories for
installation
⩥ Visual inspections (5.4.1.2). Answer: New parts will be visually
inspected to confirm the PN and SN, the part markings, and general
