Questions and Verified Answers
| Already Graded A+
As per CAN/ULC S801, on an electrical distribution overhead utility line
circuit, verification of voltage absence can be achieved by: - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Using an approved voltage detector.
Isolation and tagging (no locks) is acceptable on an overhead distribution
circuit under some of the following conditions, EXCEPT for: - 🧠ANSWER
,✔✔The isolation can be operated from the ground directly at the base of a
structure.
Isolation and tagging (no locks) is acceptable for an overhead distribution
circuit under some of the following conditions: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1. The
isolation point is a physical and visual like a line cut or riser removed.
2. The isolation point can only be operated by the operating authority or
qualified worker.
3. The isolation point is protected from unauthorized access such as
vertical height spacing.
Consider that a circuit has been isolated, tagged and grounded. workers
returning the next day must: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Visually check grounds to
verify they are in good order, secure and test for voltage.
For lockout purposes, energy isolating devices shall be labelled or marked
using a standardized nomenclature and format to indicate their function.
Identification shall include: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The equipment type, energy
type, and magnitude.
Utilities often use a permitting system due to special circumstances of
which conventional lockout is impracticable. The following is NOT a justified
, approach to this process: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The isolation points are only
simple single step actions.
A high voltage utility or electrical company is authorized to use Complex
Lockout (tag permitting) under what regulatory condition: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A
variance application has been approved by the provincial authority.
Utilities often use a permitting system due to special circumstances of
which conventional lockout is impracticable. The following are justified
approaches to this process: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1. The isolation points are
located in remote areas with difficult or restricted access.
2. The length of time to perform the lockout is impracticable.
3. Excessive numbers of persons required to lockout.
Work on a distribution line must consider the following items when
performing isolation and de-energizing of the circuit.: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1.
Whether there are multiple sources of energy (loop feed) on the circuit.
2. Is the line isolating device capable of interrupting load.
3. Is the line to be subject to inductive or capacitive charge.
