QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔You approach a piece of equipment that is off or not working, the circuit breaker is in
the tripped position, what is the best way to troubleshoot? - ✔✔Inspect the load side for
obvious signs of overloading, cautiously reset the breaker, amp check the load.

✔✔What is the first thing to do if someone is being shocked? - ✔✔Remove the person
from the current
✔✔VFD works by adjusting the? - ✔✔Frequency
✔✔A soft starter works by? - ✔✔controlling the amount of voltage running through the
motors circuits. It does this by limiting torque in the motor. This in turn allows the soft
starter to reduce the voltage and allows it to gradually stop reducing the voltage to allow
for a smooth progression of current.
