Continuous Current Rating - (ANSWER)The current that the fuse is intended to normally carry
indefinitely, considering load type, application, and code requirements.
Interrupting Rating - (ANSWER)The maximum short circuit current that a fuse can safely interrupt
without rupturing, as required by the National Electric Code.
Current Limiting - (ANSWER)Associated with short circuit conditions, a fuse is current limiting if it
operates quickly under short circuit conditions, limiting the peak short circuit current.
Selective Coordination - (ANSWER)The need to prevent facility blackouts by ensuring that only the
protective device nearest the faulted circuit opens, maintaining a specific ratio between upstream and
downstream continuous current ratings.
What is the formula for Xl? - (ANSWER)2(pi)fl
Ohm's Law - (ANSWER)Current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance
Kirchoff's Series Law - (ANSWER)The sum of the voltages drops around a circuit loop must be equal to
the applied voltage
Power Formula - (ANSWER)V x I
Kirchoff's parallel law - (ANSWER)The sum of the currents entering a junction must equal the sum of
currents leaving the junction
How do inductive prox. switches work? - (ANSWER)The oscillator circuit generates an electromagnetic
field, when a metallic object approaches the sensor, it disrupts the electromagnetic field and induces
eddy current in the metal object. The sensor detects the change in emf and triggers the output.
Hysteresis - (ANSWER)Prevents chattering

How do capacitive prox. switches work? - (ANSWER)When an object comes close to the sensor it alters
the electric field between the two conductive plates, the change in the dielectric constant affects the
capacitance. An oscillator inside the switch detects the changing capacitance and triggers a signal.
Light mode - (ANSWER)Output is on whenever the receiver can see light from the light source.
Dark mode - (ANSWER)Output is on whenever the receiver cannot see light from the light source.
Photocell - (ANSWER)A sensor that uses light to detect the presence or absence of an object.
Transmitted Beam Photocell - (ANSWER)A photocell that has two parts, the emitter and receiver, in two
different housings opposite each other.
Retroreflective Photocell - (ANSWER)A photocell where the emitter and receiver are in the same
housing. A reflective material is placed where the photocell is facing.
Diffuse Photocell - (ANSWER)A sensing mode in which light strikes an object surface and is diffused from
the surface at all angles and detected by the sensor.
How do ultrasonic prox. switches work? - (ANSWER)Ultrasonic sensors work by emitting and receiving
high-frequency sound waves. Uses either oppose or diffuse mode.
Where are contactors found? - (ANSWER)In both the power and the control circuit.
What is the difference between a contactor and a relay? - (ANSWER)The contacts on a contactor are
rated for a higher voltage than the relay contacts.
How are eddy currents reduced in a contactor/relay? - (ANSWER)The stationary core is constructed of
laminated steel.

How are vibrations reduced in contactors/relays? - (ANSWER)Shading rings.
What is a CRM? - (ANSWER)Control relay master, a relay used to monitor all the safety devices and de-
energize if one opens.
What are the two basic types of overload relays? - (ANSWER)Thermal type and electronic current
monitoring type.
What are the three reasons an overload trips? - (ANSWER)Prolonged overcurrent (105% to 130% full
load current), phhase unbalance, and phase loss/single phasing.
Off delay timer - (ANSWER)Closes/opens the timed contacts instantly, then timer starts after the coil gets
de-energized. Has an arrow pointing down on the symbol.
On delay timer - (ANSWER)Closes/opens the timed contacts after the set time, then when the coil is de-
energized, the contacts go back to normal instantly. Has an arrow pointing up on the symbol.
What is an auxiliary block? - (ANSWER)An addon black that adds extra contacts to a relay or contactor.
What is capacitance? - (ANSWER)A capacitor can store electrical energy and also return this electricity to
the circuit. Capacitance is the property of a component which allows it to store electrical energy
How does a solenoid work? - (ANSWER)A solenoid is an electrically controlled valve that operates a
mechanical valve.
What is peak voltage in AC? - (ANSWER)The maximum voltage, can be wrote as Vpeak or Vmax
