Introduction
This NEIEP 700 Exam format for 2026/2027 reflects the standardized competency assessment
administered by the National Elevator Industry Educational Program to evaluate proficiency in
electrical fundamentals and code compliance for elevator constructor apprentices and technicians.
The exam measures knowledge of electrical theory, NEC application specific to vertical transportation,
safety protocols, control systems, grounding, troubleshooting, and scenario-based decision-making
essential for safe, lawful, and effective electrical work in the elevator industry.
The standard NEIEP 700 module examination consists of approximately 50 multiple-choice questions
covering critical electrical trade domains aligned with industry standards and regulatory
requirements.
Exam Structure
• 50 multiple-choice questions covering core electrical trade domains
• Single-best-answer and scenario-based electrical/elevator trade items
• Focus on NEC compliance, evidence-based wiring practices, safety protocols, and technical judgment
• Total testing time: Approximately 90-120 minutes (computer-based or proctored written format)
• Passing score: Typically 75-80% required per NEIEP program policy
Answer Format
All correct answers are presented in bold and green. Each question appears in bold. All rationales
explaining electrical principles, NEC code applications, safety protocols, and scenario-based technical
reasoning are written in italic font.
1. In a series circuit, what happens to total resistance when more resistors are added?
A. Total resistance decreases
B. Total resistance increases
C. Total resistance remains the same
D. Total resistance becomes zero
Rationale: In a series circuit, total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances. When more
resistors are added in series, each resistor adds its value to the total, causing total resistance to
increase. This is expressed by the formula RT = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... Rn. The increase in total
resistance causes a decrease in total current flow according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R).
2. What is the unit of measurement for electrical power?
A. Volt
B. Ampere
C. Watt
D. Ohm
Rationale: The watt (W) is the unit of electrical power, representing the rate of energy
consumption or conversion in an electrical circuit. Power is calculated as P = V × I (voltage
times current), or alternatively as P = I²R or P = V²/R. One watt equals one joule per second.
Volts measure electrical potential difference, amperes measure current flow, and ohms measure
resistance.
3. What is the total current in a parallel circuit with three branches carrying 2A, 3A, and
5A respectively?
A. 10A
B. 2.67A
C. 30A
