NETA ETT Certified Level 3
2026/2027 Exam Questions and
Correct Answers | New Update



A newly installed 4160V emergency generator has an insulation

resistance value of 150 Megohms after one minute with an equipment

temperature of 32 degrees C. Is this value acceptable per NETA

standards? - ANSWER ✔✔No




NETA ATS-2017 Table 100.11

,https://testguy.net/content/240-Insulation-Resistance-Test-Values




Know the NETA-ATS Insulation Resistance tables

Which test method measures Hydrolyzable Flouride content in SF6 gas?

- ANSWER ✔✔ASTM D2284


[Standard Test Method for Acidity of Sulfur Hexafluoride]




NETA ATS-2017 Table 100.13




Know the ASTM test names what what they test

The operating speed of a protective relay is dependent on: -

ANSWER ✔✔* Spring Tension


* Armature core air gap

* Rate of flux built up

ruction




This was originally a 'not question'. This list is not necessarily conclusive.

It's simply the 'incorrect' answers to the 'not question'.

According to IEEE C57.106, which test is recommended for routine

acceptance of new, unprocessed oil from a supplier for use in circuit

breakers? - ANSWER ✔✔ASTM D877


[Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating

Liquids Using Disk Electrodes]




https://hvtechnologies.com/which-oil-testing-standard-should-you-

choose-to-determine-dielectric-breakdown-voltage/




Know IEEE C57 information. Know ASTM tests and definitions

This was originally a True/False statement question. The answer stated

that the load side is wrong. The reference above seems to imply that

meter sockets and meter disconnect switches should generally be

connected on the line side.




Know NFPA 70

What size neutral resistor would be required to limit the fault current of a

13,800-480Y/277V 1500kVA Transformer to 5A? - ANSWER ✔✔55.4




Know Ohm's Law. 277 V / 5A = 55.4 ohms
