SACA C 202 ELECTRIC MOTOR
CONTROL SYSTEMS STUDY GUIDE
2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS
◉ When a metal part is not grounded, what could the operator risk.
Answer: The operator could risk shock, or the voltage in the metal object
discharging through them.
◉ What is the purpose of the National Electrical Code? Answer: The
National Electrical Code creates electrical system codes and laws to
protect systems and operators.
◉ What is the purpose of the National Electrical Manufacturer's
Association? Answer: To create laws and codes on how to manage an
electrical motor.
◉ True or False: It is encouraged to work with one hand while working
with an electrical system. Answer: True! Working with one hand
reduces the risk of electrical shock and allows an operator to disengage
quickly.
◉ Define Lockout/Tagout. Answer: A lockout/tagout is an item used to
prevent the powering or energizing a system while a person works on it.
, ◉ 3-phase motors have alternators placed every: Answer: 120 degrees.
◉ Define Wye-Configuration. Answer: The windings of a motor is
connected by a single winding: in the middle. This leads to the Y-shaped
windings.
◉ Define Delta-Configuration. Answer: The windings of a motors is
connected end-to-end, leadinging to a triangle-shaped windings.
◉ Define a disconnect. Answer: A disconnect is manual input that shuts
off a system to prevent discharge or shorts.
◉ True or False: a fusible disconnect is not a safe protective device.
Answer: False! A fusible disconnect is a very safe protective device, as
it opens the circuit during a short.
◉ What is a circuit breaker? Answer: A circuit breaker is a resetable
system that can automatically open a circuit manually, magnetically, or
thermally.
◉ True or False: A fuse is cheaper and simpler than a circuit breaker.
Answer: True! A fuse is easy to plug in and cheap, but needs to be
replaced after opened.
◉ What is the rated full-load current? Answer: The rated full-load
current is the current level a motor is able to steadily run at.
