Introduction
The Kansas Journeyworker Electrician Examination is a
comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate the
,competency, technical proficiency, and safety awareness of
aspiring electricians. This exam ensures that candidates
possess the requisite knowledge of the National Electrical
Code and foundational electrical principles necessary for
the safe installation and maintenance of electrical
systems. The assessment comprises multiple-choice
questions and complex, scenario-based problems that
reflect real-world challenges encountered in residential,
commercial, and industrial settings. Candidates must
demonstrate critical thinking and precise decision-making
skills to navigate regulatory requirements and technical
calculations. Success on this exam confirms a
professional’s readiness to uphold industry standards and
protect public safety through expert electrical practice.
1. What is the minimum clear working space depth
required for equipment operating at 480 volts to
ground where there are exposed live parts on one
side and grounded parts on the other (Condition
2)?
,A. 3 feet
B. 3.5 feet
C. 4 feet
D. 6 feet
🟢 B. 3.5 feet
🔴 Explanation: According to NEC Table 110.26(A)(1), for
voltages between 151-600V to ground, Condition 2
requires a minimum clear distance of 3.5 feet.
2. A 120-volt branch circuit supplies a continuous
load of 16 amperes. What is the minimum size
overcurrent protective device required for this
circuit?
A. 15 amperes
B. 20 amperes
C. 25 amperes
D. 30 amperes
🟢 B. 20 amperes
, 🔴 Explanation: Continuous loads must be calculated at
125% of the load. 16A x 1.25 = 20A. Therefore, a 20-
ampere breaker is required.
3. Which of the following conductor types is
specifically rated for use in wet locations?
A. THHN
B. THW
C. TW
D. THWN
🟢 D. THWN
🔴 Explanation: The "W" in THWN stands for "Wet,"
indicating the insulation is moisture-resistant and
suitable for wet locations.
4. What is the maximum distance that a manual pull
station for a fire alarm system should be located
from the exit doorway?
