IMSA Traffic Signal Inspector Chapter 1 -
Introduction
Ampacity - correct answer ✔The maximum current, in amperes, that a
conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without
exceeding its temperature rating.
Bonded (Bonding) - correct answer ✔Connected to establish electrical
continuity and conductivity.
Bonding Jumper, Main - correct answer ✔The connection between the
grounded circuit conductor and the equipment grounding conductor at the
service.
Disconnecting Means - correct answer ✔A device (or group) by which the
conductors of a circuit can be disconnected from their source.
Effective Ground-Fault Current Path - correct answer ✔Intentionally
constructed, low-impedance path intended to carry current under ground-fault
conditions from the point of s ground-fault in the system to the electrical
supply source that facilitates the operation of the overcurrent device(s) of
ground fault detectors on high-impedance grounded systems.
Equipment - correct answer ✔General term: fittings, devices, appliances,
luminaries, apparatus, machinery, ect. in connection with an electrical
installation.
Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) - correct answer ✔The conductive
path(s) installed to connect normally non-current carrying metal parts of
equipment together and to the system grounded conductor to the grounding
electrode conductor, or both.
, Grounded (grounding) - correct answer ✔Connected to a ground or a
conductive body that extends to the ground connection.
Grounded Conductor - correct answer ✔What is commonly referred to as the
"neutral wire" the NEC calls this the --------- conductor. Usually white in color.
Grounding Conductor - correct answer ✔What is usually referred to as the
"ground wire", the NEC and CEC call the --------- conductor. This wire is
usually green or bare.
Grounding Electrode - correct answer ✔A conducting object through which a
direct connection with Earth is established.
Hand hole enclosure - correct answer ✔An enclosure for use in underground
systems, with an open or closed bottom, allowing workers to reach into, but
not enter for the purpose of access to wiring systems.
Location, Damp - correct answer ✔Locations protected from weather and not
subject to saturation with water or moisture, but subject to moderate degrees
of moisture.
Location, Dry - correct answer ✔Location not normally subject to wetness.
May be temporarily subjected, but not usually.
Location, Wet - correct answer ✔Installations underground or in concrete
slabs, or masonry in direct contact with earth in locations subject to saturation
with water or other liquids.
