BC ELECTRICAL FIELD SAFETY
REPRESENTATIVE UPDATED ACTUAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE
◉ Circuit breaker
Answer: An enclosed switch with arc extinguishing capabilities;
operated manually or automatically to open or close a circuit
◉ Electric field coupling
Answer: The transfer of electricity from an energized conductor to a
de-energize conductor through a medium such as air
◉ Electrical fault
Answer: A defective point in a circuit that can't interrupt the normal
flow of current
◉ Established ground
Answer: A fixed electrical power to ground built into an electrical
system primarily to protect the system from faults
, ◉ Fuse
Answer: A protective device that operates automatically to de-
energize a circuit when current levels exceed the rating of the device
◉ Ground faults
Answer: A defect in a circuit that creates an unintentional path for
current to flow to ground
◉ Ground switch
Answer: A device connected to an established ground that can open
or close the electrical path between a circuit and ground
◉ Isolation
Answer: The process of creating a physical and visible break in an
electrical circuit
◉ Load - break disconnect switch
Answer: A protective device designed to de-energize and isolate a
circuit underload; also has arc extinguishing capability
◉ Magnetic field coupling
Answer: The transfer of electrical charges from an energized line to
a de-energize line through a magnetic field
