700 NEIEP FINAL REVIEW EXAM SCRIPT Questions with
Correct Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: A MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) burns out. You replace it, but cannot read voltage or
resistance. What should you do?
Answer: Replace it with a larger MOV - 630
Question 2: On a Ward-Leonard circuit the brake is set, but the motor is trying to slip through the
brake. What is the issue?
Answer: Suicide Circuit - 425
Question 3: You have an old DC motor and are adding an SCR drive, what do you do to the interpoles?
Answer: Leave the interpoles alone. When adding a SCR drive to the generator, the series loop is removed,
as are the 3 resistors. Everything else remains the same
Question 4: A hydro runs up with no load but will not run with a full load. What is the issue?
Answer: The relief valve is set too low - 815
Question 5: Runby for a 1:1 hits the CWT buffer 4" below the top landing. CWT runby should be set at
18". How much should the ropes be shortened?
Answer: 22" - 235
Question 6: You need to work on a freight door retiring cam, you LOTO the main line but there is still
power on the cam. What circuit is still hot?
Answer: Door Operator disconnect -535
Question 7: The contractor requests that the vertical center of a Rack and Pinion hoist be moved. How
do you do this?
Answer: Adjust tie downs and wall ties - 850
Question 8: Working pressure on a Hydro is 400 PSI. What is the maximum relief valve setting?
Answer: 400 x 150%= 600 PSI - 815
Question 9: What must be installed on a false care before operation?
Answer: Spring Loaded safeties - 110

,Question 10: There is slight arcing between the brush and commutator. What action must be taken?
Answer: None Note: Heavy arcing= light brush pressure, Heavy brush pressure= mechanical wear
Question 11: If rigging is roped 3:1 and a BEAM CLAMP is used to lift a 6,000lb load. What is the
beam capacity?
Answer: 18,000lbs -210
Question 12: How much resistance is measured over a normally closed switch?
Answer: .2 Ohms- should be zero but will never be that low

causes this?
Answer: traveling cable has a cut/exposed wire or a short - 515

Answer:
1. Car at the bottom landing and on inspection
2. jump out direction and final limits. With pit clear
3. run down to compress the buffers
4. buffers should fully extend within 90 seconds. Note: 5 yr is Full load
5. full speed - 555
Question 15: How many strain supports are required on a 350 ft raceway?
Answer: 4 1 every 100ft - 505-510
Question 16: How is stainless steel drilled out?
Answer: Slow speed and constant pressure - 205
Question 17: What is the required amout of retainer clips for wedge shackles and what is the spacing?
Answer: At least 2. First clip being 4 times the diameter of the rope from the top of the shackle, and the
second clip is 8 times the diameter of the rope away from the shackle. - 245
Question 18: A 300 ohm resistor burns out, but you dont have another one. How can you make one?
Answer: 2- 600 ohms resistors in parallel is 300 ohms. Resistance is half of the highest resistor in the
parallel circuit. 3- 225 ohms is 75 ohms. - 345

, Question 19: When cutting laminated panels, which direction should the finish side face?
Answer: Finish side facing the cutting edge of the tool. Blade will burr the backside. - 225
Question 20: How do you cut a finished floor?
Answer: Cutting blade away from the finished side - 255
Question 21: A 480 VAC stepdown 240 VAC transformer is connected to a 3 phase rectifier, what is the
output voltage?
Answer: 320 VAC 3 phase full wave= 1.33 x output voltage. - 715
Question 22: A car is loaded with 125% and sinks, why?
Answer: Slipping through the brake
