AIR FORCE FACILITIES TEST BANK
Which statement regarding lightning protection is false? - lightning protection
system prevents lightning strikes from occurring.
How many down conductors are required for a mast LPS? - 2
Which material is preferred for ground conductors? - Copper
What does n represent in the Basic Bonding Formula? - Number of down
conductors
What does Km represent in the Basic Bonding Formula? - flashover medium
During an LPS inspection you notice a grounded metal pipe 3 feet from a
conductor. Should you write it up as a possible discrepancy? - Yes. Grounded metal
objects within 6 feet of a conductor should be considered for bonding
What does D represent in the Basic Bonding Formula? - Bonding distance
Which bonding condition applies to isolated metal objects surrounded by non-
conductive material (such as a metal door frame in a concrete wall)? - WRONG
Condition 2

Calculate the BBF to determine if bonding is required for the scenario below. Use a
calculator, the BBF equation aid, and the bonding job aid as required.
• The metal vent is 15 feet high.
• There are 2 down conductors at the proper spacing.
• The vent is 12 inches (1 foot) from a conductor through air. - Bonding distance
for the metal roof vent is 1 foot 8 inches. Bonding is required.
LPS test results must be kept on file for - 6 inspection cycles
An LPS visual inspection is required every - 12 months
Conductive floors in explosives facilities must be tested every - WRONG 6 months
At a minimum, how many individual resistance tests must be performed on this
conductive floor? Refer to DA PAM 385-64, Section C-3 as required. - Ten tests:
five electrode-to-electrode and five electrode-to-ground tests
An LPS requires three-point fall-of-potential earth resistance testing every - Every
24 months
When conducting a 3-point fall-of-potential earth resistance test, what is the
maximum allowable resistance reading? - 25 ohms
When conducting a bonding resistance test, what is the maximum allowable
reading? - 1 ohm
