RME REVIEWER CHAPTER 15
1. A coil has 100 turns. A current of 10 A is passed through the coil. The coil
develops 1 000 amp turns.
2. Resistance can be found directly from wattage and voltage measurements
by the equation R = V2/W.
3. Squirrel cage motor contains no commutator.
4. The total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit is expressed in ohms
as impedance.
5. To open a single-throw switch, the switch should ne mounted so that the
switch blade must move downward.
6. The main reason for laminating the core of a power transformer is to keep
the eddy current loss at a minimum.
7. In hazardous location which, flammable liquids and certain dust
particles are factor that contribute to the need to classify the location as
hazardous.
8. A good insulator for very high temperature is mica.
9. The basic unit of electrical work is the watt-hour.
10. In a 60-cycle system, what length of time does it take to go 90 degrees?
1/240 second.
11. In an area that requires explosion-proof wiring, raceways entering a box
in this area which contains equipment that may produce sparks, shall be
provided with an approved sealing compound.
12. A generator works on the basis of a conductor moving inside a
magnetic field.
13. In a three-phase circuit, the legs of the 120 electrical degrees apart.
14. Motor horsepower ratings are based on an observable safe temperature
rise above ambient temperature. The ambient temperature is taken as 40oC.
15. Comparing incandescent lighting with fluorescent lighting at the same
level of illumination, the cost of energy for fluorescent would be less.
16. For discharging lighting lamps to operate properly they would require
some sort of ballast.
17. A motor with a wide speed range is a DC motor.
18. Inductance is measured in henrys.
19. Voltaic current will the voltage when chemical.
20. To measure AC cycles per second, you would use a frequency meter.
21. The resistance of a copper conductor is inversely proportional to its
cross-sectional area.
22. The main reason for using oil in an oil circuit breaker is to quench the
arc.
23. When relay contacts make and break frequently, a condenser is used
across the relay contacts to reduce pitting of the contacts.
24. A unit of an electrical system which is intended to carry but not utilize
electrical energy is device.
25. The power factor can be determined by the use of ammeter,
wattmeter, and voltmeter.
26. The disadvantage of an autotransformer is the lack of isolation
between the primary and secondary.
27. If voltage rotation of a three-phase motor is A-B-C, the current rotation is
B-C-A.
28. To fasten a box to a terra cotta wall you would use rawl plugs.
29. An Erickson coupling is used to connect two sections of rigid conduit
when one section cannot be turned.
30. DC is current which flows through a circuit in the same direction at all
times and with almost constant strength.
31. The liquid in a battery is called the electrolyte.
32. When operated on a voltage 10% higher than nameplate rating, an
appliance will; have a shorter life, draw a higher current, and use more
power.
33. The primary purpose for grounding a raceway is to prevent the raceway
from becoming accidentally energized at a higher potential than
ground.
34. Aluminum and copper-clad aluminum of the same circular-mil and
insulation have the same ampacity.
35. A fuse puller is used to replace cartridge fuses.
36. When working on a live 600 V equipment where rubber gloves might be
damaged, an electrician should wear leather gloves over rubber ones.
37. An ammeter is disconnected from a current transformer (CT), the leads
should be shorted.
38. The advantage of a 4-wire, three phase source over a 3-wire, three-phase
source are: two voltage levels, and a grounded neutral.
39. Two one ohm resistors in parallel, the total R is ½ ohm.
40. The resistance of the filament in a light bulb is highest when bulb is
on.
41. When measuring to determine the size of a stranded conductor, you
would place the wire gauge one strand of the conductor.
42. If an AC sine wave reaches a peak voltage of 100, what is the effective
root-mean square voltage? 70.7.
43. The term pothead as used in the electrical trade means cable terminal.
44. A commutator is a function that is similar to a rectifier.
45. Open conductors run individually as service drops shall either be
insulated or covered.
46. The difference between a thread on a bolt and a thread on a conduit is
the conduit thread is tapered.
47. When one electrical circuit controls another electrical circuit through a
relay the circuit is a remote-control circuit.
48. The current will the voltage when capacitive reactance exceeds the
inductive reactance in the circuit.
49. Conductor from the service point to the service disconnecting means are
considered service conductors.
50. Electronically actuated fuses may or may not operate in a current
limiting fashion, depending on the type of control selected.
