ELECTRICAL JATC CODE
DEFINITIONS TEST
Ampacity - Correct Answers -The maximum current in amprees that a conductor can
carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating
Appliance - Correct Answers -Utilization equipment, generally other than industrial, that
is normally built in standardize sizes or types and it's installed or connected as a unit to
perform one or more functions such as clothes washing, air-conditioning, food mixing,
deep frying and so forth
Appliance branch circuit - Correct Answers -A branch circuit that supplies energy to one
or more outlets to which appliances are to be connected and that has no permanently
connected luminaires that are not a part of an appliance
Approved - Correct Answers -Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction
Arc-fault circuit interrupter - Correct Answers -A device intended to provide protection
from the effects of arc fault by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by
functioning to De-energize the circuit when the fault is detected
Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) - Correct Answers -An organization, office, or
individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of the code or standard, or for
approving equipment, materials, and installation or procedure
Bonded (bonding) - Correct Answers -Connected to establish electrical continuity and
conductivity
Bonding jumper, equipment - Correct Answers -The connection between two or more
portions of equipment grounding conductor
Bonding jumper, main - Correct Answers -The connection between the grounded circuit
conductor and thr equipment grounding conductor At the service
Service lateral - Correct Answers -The underground conductors between the utility
electric supply system and the service point
Service point - Correct Answers -The point of connection between the utility in the
premises wiring
, Short-circuit current rating - Correct Answers -The perspective symmetrical fault current
at the normal voltage to which. And apparatus or system is able to be connected without
sustaining damage exceeding defined acceptance criteria
Bonding jumper, system - Correct Answers -The connection between the grounded
circuit conductor and the supply side bonding jumper or the equipment grounding
conductor or both at a separately derived system
Branch circuit - Correct Answers -The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent
device protecting the circuit and the outlet
Building - Correct Answers -A structure that stands alone or that is cut off from ajoining
structures by firewalls with all openings therein protected by approved fire doors
Cabinet - Correct Answers -And enclosure that is designed for either surface mount or
flush mounting and is provided with a frame mat or trim and which a swingingdoor or
doors are or can be hung
Circuit breaker - Correct Answers -Hey device designed to open and close a circuit by
non-automatic means and open the circuit automatically on a predetermined
overcurrent without damage to itself when properly applied within its rating
Concealed - Correct Answers -Rendered inaccessible by the structure or the finish of
the building
Continuous duty - Correct Answers -Operation at a substantially constant load for
ideffentially long time
Continuous load - Correct Answers -A load were maximum current is expected to last 3
hours or more
Controller - Correct Answers -A device or group of devices that serves to govern, in
some pre-determined manner, the electric power delivered to the apparatus to which it
is connected
Covered conductor - Correct Answers -A conductor encased within material of
composition
Cutout box - Correct Answers -And enclosure designed for surface mounting that has
swinging doors or covers secured directly to and telescoping with the walls of the
enclosure
Damp location - Correct Answers -Locations protected from weather and not subject to
saturation with water or other liquids but subject to moderate degrees of moisture
