PJM TRANSMISSION EXAM STUDY GUIDE
BRAND NEW OFFICIAL QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS.
What is the minimum notice PJM requires for a non-emergency
transmission outage work request?
1) 6 hours
2) 24 hours
3) 3 working days
4) 7 working days - correct answer -3
True or False: During Black Start restoration, priority access to
cranking power should be given to: Hot units that can return to
service immediately - correct answer -True

Increased load on a circuit causes lower voltage at the remote
end. What can be done to increase this voltage?
1) Raise the stepdown transformer tap position
2) Turn reactors on near load
3) Turn capacitors on near generation
4) Set AVR to manual control - correct answer -1
PJM schedules enough generation to coverall of following
EXCEPT:
1) Internal Load
2) External Load
3) Interchange
4) Reserve Requirement - correct answer -2
True or False: If a PJM Member detects or suspects actual or
attempted sabotage on the BES they should: Notify PJM and
NERC - correct answer -False, Notify PJM and DOE

True or False: PJM Member actions during a Primary Reserve
Warning include: Ensuring all deferrable: maintenance, testing
affecting capacity or critical transmission is halted - correct
answer -True
True or False: If presented with an opportunity to reconnect with
the Eastern Interconnection you should? Pursue this opportunity
as quick as possible - correct answer -True
True or False: PJM considers a facility to be in violation of
Standard Operating Limits (SOL) when: Flow is above the normal
limit for 24 hours and the Long Term Emergency limit for 4 hours -
correct answer -True
