POSTS AND CORRECT ANSWERS FULL
REVIEW
◉ 2. What is the primary use for a circuit breaker? Answer: The
primary function of the circuit breaker is to open on fault and or
load current. Also to carry current.
◉ 2. When does a fuse OPEN? Answer: Immediately, when a
predetermined current value is exceeded. This question is on the
test twice.
◉ 2. What is Cavitation Answer: Cavitation is damage caused by the
formation and implosion of bubbles, causes pitting in blades.
◉ 22. What is a switch? Answer: A device for opening or closing an
electrical circuit.
◉ 2. What can you use to determine electrical equipment overload?
Answer: Installed metering (CT's RTD's), clamp on metering, sight,

, ◉ 2. What noise does a closed circuit breaker make? Answer: NONE
◉ 25. What is a ground as a reference? Answer: Neutral potential, a
conductor between and electrical circuit/equipment and the earth.

Have lines and affected equipment de-energized. Have clearance on
affected equipment, and then identify, isolate, test, and ground.
Grounds placed at locations and arranged in such a manner to
prevent each employee from being exposed to hazardous differences
in electrical potential.
◉ 27. What is the procedure for preliminary grounding? Answer:
Lines and equipment tested, grounding equipment shall be given a
visual inspection and all mechanical connections shall be check for
tightness before each use. Check that surface where ground will be
installed is clean.
◉ 28. What is the sequence for grounding a line? Answer: ? Last
thing on and the first thing off when taking out a line. Ground end
