CORRECT ANSWERS|GRADED A+|BRAND NEW 2026/2027 UPDATE
Arc Flash Hazard - ANSWER A dangerous condition associated with the possible release
of energy caused by an electric arc
Arc Rating - ANSWER The value attributed to materials that describes their performance
to exposure to an electrical arc discharge. The arc rating is expressed in cal/cm^2 and is
derived from the determined value of the arc thermal performance value (ATPV) or energy
of breakopen threshold (E BT) (should a material system exhibit a breakopen resoponce
below the APTV value). Arc rating is reported as either APTV or E bt, whichever is the lower
value.
Barricade - ANSWER A physical obstruction such as tapes, cones, or A-frame-type wood
or metal structures intended to provide a warning and to limit access.
Barrier - ANSWER A physical obstruction that is intended to prevent contact with
equipment or energized electrical conductors and circuit parts or to prevent unauthorized
access to a work area.
Shock boundaries - ANSWER Limited approach boundary,
Restricted approach boundary,
Prohibited approach boundary (not in 2015)
Limited approach boundary - ANSWER An approach limit at a distance from an exposed
energized electrical conductor or circtuit part within which a shock hazard exists.
Restricted approach boundary - ANSWER An approach limit at a distance from an
exposed energized electrical conductor or circuit part within which there is an increased
likelihood of electric shock, due to electrical arc-over combined with inadvertent movement,
for personnel working in close proximity to the energized electrical conductor or circuit part.
