RME REVIEWER CHAPTER 12
1. Three conductors ( phase A, B, and neutral) run from a busway to a load
center should not be installed in three separate raceway because of
inductance.
2. The proper way to mount and instrument meter is to use a template.
3. Stranded conductors shall be used for wiring on fixture chains.
4. Class III locations are those that are hazardous because of the presence
of easily ignitable fibers or flyings.
5. When three light bulbs are wired in a single fixture, they are connected in
parallel.
6. A voltage of 2 000 microvolts is the same as 0.002 volts.
7. The advantage of AC over DC includes the ease of voltage variation.
8. A branch-circuit that supplies a number of outlets for lighting and
appliances is known as a general purpose branch-circuit.
9. In a multiple motor circuit there is feeder protection, branch-circuit
protection and motor protection. If the feeder protection trips, fault would be
expected to be in the feeder.
10. Metal underground water pipe is the only grounding electrode that
shall be supplemented by an additional electrode.
11. The main reason that water should not be used to extinguish fires
involving electrical equipment is that water may transmit shock to the
user.
12. A type of transformer that has only a single winding is called an auto-
transformer.
13. Conductors, such as non-metallic cable, when in the space between
studs are defined as concealed.
14. The opposite of resistance would be conductance.
15. Grounding the metallic cover of flexible metal conduit and armored, is for
protection against shock or injury.
16. Which of the following breaks down rubber insulation? Oil.
17. Which of the following would have the least amount of resistance?
Conductor.
18. True power is always voltage times current in a DC circuit.
19. The words “thermally protected” appearing on the nameplate of a motor
indicates that the motor is provided with a heat sensing element.
20. Primary winding of a current transformer will carry more current.
21. The purpose of locknuts in making electrical connections on studs is to
prevent the connection from loosening under vibration.
22. A clamp-on ammeter will measure accurately only when clamped
perpendicular to a conductor.
23. Ohm’s law states E is equal to I times R.
24. The sum of the voltage drop around a circuit is equal to the source
voltage is Kirchhoff’s law.
25. A galvanometer is used to indicate current.
26. Wound rotor and squirrel cage are two types of induction motors.
27. New brushes for a generator should be fitted to the commutator by using
calculated a strip of sandpaper.
28. In other than residential calcualtions, an ordinary outlet shall be
calculated at 180 VA.
29. In a high inductive AC circuit, capacitor is used to correct the power
factor towards unity.
30. XL, Xc, and R in its own branch circuit will flow in three directions.
31. The disadvantage of AC compared to DC would be cannot be used in
electro-plating.
32. To reverse the rotation of a three-phase motor you would reverse any
two of the three leads.
33. Weatherproof means so constructed or protected that the exposure to
the weather will not interfere with successful operation.
34. A pendant fixture is a hanging fixture.
35. A soldering iron should not be heated to excess because it will ruin the
tin on the surface of the tip.
36. Galvanized rigid conduit is made of iron.
37. The conductor used to connect the grounded circuit of a wiring system to
a grounding electrode is the grounding conductor.
38. The N.E.C. covers audio signal generation, speech-input systems,
and electronic organs.
39. Two 120 V light bulbs connected in series across 240 V will burn at full
brightness.
40. A multimeter is a combination of voltmeter, ammeter, and
ohmmeter.
41. AC voltage of the system is not the average voltage.
42. The cross sectional area of the bus bar is .375 square inch.
43. What would be the advantage of 240 V rather than 120 V on a load with
the same wattage? Less voltage drop.
44. An outlet box should be fastened to a solid concrete wall by means of
expansion bolts.
45. In the course of normal operation the instrument which will be least
effective in indicating that a generator may overheat because it is overload a
voltage.
46. A hydrometer is used for testing specific gravity.
47. Electrical current is measured in terms of electrons passing a point
per second.
48. If the voltages are 120 degrees apart, the line voltage will be 120
degrees apart.
49. Spray booth is an enclosure or insert within a larger room used for
spray/coating/dipping application.
50. In automated operation, the area limits shall be the maximum area in
the direct path of spray operation.
