100 ELEVATOR FINAL PAPER 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ Moving walkway Max angle is 12°
Escalator Max angle is 30° Answer: What is Maximum Incline of
Moving Walkway? (Example)
The moving walkway is at 10° in the field, how much more of an
angle could it be at?
830 Pg 6
◉ Run High Speed Answer: Ward Leonard System (See unit 425 Pg
18 Figure 17)
Question : If all three contacts close what will happen?
425 Pg 18 Figure 17
◉ Type B / Safeties which apply limited pressure on the guide rails
during stopping interval. Continuous tension in the governor rope
may or may not be required
Note: Type A are for under 150 and are instantaneous type..
,Type C are Type A with Oil Buffers.
The stopping distance is equal to the effective stroke of the buffer.
Answer: Safeties (What type of safeties would you have on a car that
goes 300 FPM?
240 Pg 36
◉ Exposed traveling Cable Answer: A car keeps blowing a 3(Amp)
fuse at the same point in the hoist way, What is the problem?
◉ Gear Oil, Non Detergent, Single Viscosity Answer: What type of oil
do you put in a machine?
◉ DO NOT TORQUE them at joints Torque limits are required to
maintain the shape of the rail. Answer: Omega Rails
220 Pg 8
◉ 3 - 225 Ohm resistors in parallel Answer: a 75 Ohm resistor has
blow and you don't have a replacement, What can you use?
◉ You open contact E to reduce the current.
,Contact E opens when the brake is lifted and inserts more of the
brake resistance in this series circuit, reducing the value of the brake
current.
This circuit places a small portion of the break resistor in series with
the brake coil at the start to limit the initial current into the coil,
After the coil is fully energized, the full resistor is introduced to
further reduce the coil current.
That is the current has to gradually build up in the coil and once it
does ,it does not require as much current to keep it energized.Like a
flywheel, it takes alot to get it going but once its rotating not much is
needed,
The final current value prevents the brake coil from saturating and
thus allow it it to drop quicker and more gently when applying
mechanical brake. Answer: Series Brake Circuit (345 Pg 8 Figure 11)

◉ The hoist can go on safeties! Answer: If a Rack and Pinion Hoist
(Outside Hoist) is not Plumb ,Level and Square what can happen?
850 Pg Unknown
◉ The extension tubes provide necessary clearance for placement of
concrete forms Answer: Extension tubes
, 850 Pg 16
◉ To help prevent distortion to the building AC supply, INDUCTORS
can be used on the AC input section of a solid state drive. These
INDUCTORS can serve dbl duty. They operate as transformers to
match input voltage or provide voltage isolation, as well as
performing filtering on notch effect Answer: If a Hoist Motor is
making noise, What is the problem

◉ (Pi) 3.1416 x (R)radius ²(squared)
Plunger diameter is 10"
So you divide ÷ by 2 = 5
3.1416 x 5² (25)= 78.54 inches Answer: Area of a plunger

◉ Block the doors up1 Answer: If you arrive at site with freight
doors and one side is hanging down, what is the first thing that you
do?
◉ The (AND) gate is manufactured so that its output is High ONLY
with all Inputs HIGH
