You have an old DC motor and are adding an SCR drive, what
do you do to the interpoles? ......ANSWER........Leave the
interpoles alone. When adding a SCR drive to the generator,
the series loop is removed, as are the 3 resistors. Everything else
remains the same.
A hydro runs up with no load, but will not run with a full load.
What is the issue? ......ANSWER........The relief valve is set too low

1. A contractor wants to raise the car speed from 100fpm to
125fpm, it currently has a 12" sheave. What sheave is required?
......ANSWER........100fpm / 125fpm = 12" / X= 15"
2. A MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) burns out. You replace it, but
cannot read voltage or resistance. What should you do?
......ANSWER........Replace it with a larger MOV 630
3. On a Ward-Leonard circuit the break is set, but the motor is
trying to slip through the break. What is the issue?
......ANSWER........Suicide Circuit 425
6. Runby for a 1:1 hits the CWT buffer 4" below the top
landing. CWT runby should be set at 18". How much should the
ropes be shortened? ......ANSWER........22" 235
7. You need to work on a freight door retiring cam, you LOTO
the main line but there is still power on the cam. What circuit is
,age 3 of 69
still hot? ......ANSWER........Door Operator Disconnect/ Main Line
Disconnect 535
8. The contractor requests that the vertical center of a Rack and
Pinion hoist be moved. How do you do this?
......ANSWER........Adjust Tie Downs and Wall Ties 850
9. Working pressure on a Hydro is 400psi. What is the
maximum relief valve setting? ......ANSWER........400psi x 150%=
600psi 815
10. What must be installed on a false car before operation?
......ANSWER........Spring Loaded Safeties 110
11. There is slight arcing between the brush and commutator.
What action must be taken? ......ANSWER........None
, age 4 of 69
Note: Heavy arcing=Light brush pressure, Heavy bush
pressure=mechanical wear 430
12. If rigging gear is roped 3:1 and a BEAM CLAMP is used to
lift a 6,000lb load. What is the beam capacity requirement?
......ANSWER........18,000lbs.
Note: Beam capacity is cut in half with use of clamp, when
rigging all blocks, rope, and clamps will be Equal to the lowest
load rating 210
13. How much resistance is measured over a normally closed
switch? ......ANSWER........1.2ohms. should be zero, but will never
be that low
14. A car traveling in the hoistway always stops at the same
spot and blows a fuse. What causes this
