100% GRADED AT A +
1. As per CAN/ULC S801, on an electrical distribution overhead utility line
circuit, verification of voltage absence can be achieved by: - ANSWER ✔
Using an approved voltage detector.
2. Working on an energized lattice tower requires emergency response
consistent with the associated hazards. What is NOT required as part of the
emergency planning: - ANSWER ✔ Daily practice of tower rescue method.
3. Working on an energized lattice tower requires emergency response
consistent with the associated hazards, including: - ANSWER ✔ 1. A means
to contact the operating authority to de-energize the circuit.
2. Rescue equipment readily available to quickly and safely lower the
worker.
3. Regular rescue practices on tower rescue at an appropriate frequency.
4. Z259.14 wooden pole choker devices that are designed and tested to restrict
a workers fall distance under dry, wet, and icy conditions are classified as: -
ANSWER ✔ Type AB device.
5. The voltage limits and mechanical strength of a live line tool is best
specified by: - ANSWER ✔ The manufacturers requirements.
,6. Live line tools can be modified to meet the needs of the work. What is NOT
an acceptable strategy for tool modification: - ANSWER ✔ A utility worker
has evaluated the tool modification and approved the change.
7. Live line tools can be modified to meet the needs of the work. Acceptable
strategies for tool modification include: - ANSWER ✔ 1. Changes to the
tool do not violate other applicable standards.
2. The tool has been inspected and tested by a professional engineer.
3. The tool modification was approved by an engineer using applicable
standards.
8. Insulating hot rope (live line rope) is tested in accordance to ASTM F1701.
The purpose of this test is to: - ANSWER ✔ Determine the current leakage
under dry and wet rope conditions.
9. Isolation and tagging (no locks) is acceptable on an overhead distribution
circuit under some of the following conditions, EXCEPT for: - ANSWER ✔
The isolation can be operated from the ground directly at the base of a
structure.
10.Isolation and tagging (no locks) is acceptable for an overhead distribution
circuit under some of the following conditions: - ANSWER ✔ 1. The
isolation point is a physical and visual like a line cut or riser removed.
2. The isolation point can only be operated by the operating authority or
qualified worker.
3. The isolation point is protected from unauthorized access such as vertical
height spacing.
, 11.Consider that a circuit has been isolated, tagged and grounded. workers
returning the next day must: - ANSWER ✔ Visually check grounds to verify
they are in good order, secure and test for voltage.
12.For lockout purposes, energy isolating devices shall be labelled or marked
using a standardized nomenclature and format to indicate their function.
Identification shall include: - ANSWER ✔ The equipment type, energy type,
and magnitude.
13.Utilities often use a permitting system due to special circumstances of which
conventional lockout is impracticable. The following is NOT a justified
approach to this process: - ANSWER ✔ The isolation points are only simple
single step actions.
14.A high voltage utility or electrical company is authorized to use Complex
Lockout (tag permitting) under what regulatory condition: - ANSWER ✔ A
variance application has been approved by the provincial authority.
15.Utilities often use a permitting system due to special circumstances of which
conventional lockout is impracticable. The following are justified
approaches to this process: - ANSWER ✔ 1. The isolation points are located
in remote areas with difficult or restricted access.
2. The length of time to perform the lockout is impracticable.
3. Excessive numbers of persons required to lockout.
16.Work on a distribution line must consider the following items when
performing isolation and de-energizing of the circuit.: - ANSWER ✔ 1.
Whether there are multiple sources of energy (loop feed) on the circuit.
