Electrical JATC code definitions test
correctly answered to pass
Ampacity - correct answer ✔✔The maximum current in amperes that a conductor can carry
continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating
Appliance - correct answer ✔✔Utilization equipment, generally other than industrial, that is normally
built in standardize sizes or types and it's installed or connected as a unit to perform one or more
functions such as clothes washing, air-conditioning, food mixing, deep frying and so forth
Appliance branch circuit - correct answer ✔✔A branch circuit that supplies energy to one or more
outlets to which appliances are to be connected and that has no permanently connected luminaires that
are not a part of an appliance
Approved - correct answer ✔✔Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction
Arc-fault circuit interrupter - correct answer ✔✔A device intended to provide protection from the effects
of arc fault by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by functioning to De-energize the circuit
when the fault is detected
Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) - correct answer ✔✔An organization, office, or individual responsible
for enforcing the requirements of the code or standard, or for approving equipment, materials, and
installation or procedure
Bonded (bonding) - correct answer ✔✔Connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity
Bonding jumper, equipment - correct answer ✔✔The connection between two or more portions of
equipment grounding conductor
Bonding jumper, main - correct answer ✔✔The connection between the grounded circuit conductor and
thr equipment grounding conductor At the service
, Bonding jumper, system - correct answer ✔✔The connection between the grounded circuit conductor
and the supply side bonding jumper or the equipment grounding conductor or both at a separately
derived system
Branch circuit - correct answer ✔✔The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent device
protecting the circuit and the outlet
Building - correct answer ✔✔A structure that stands alone or that is cut off from ajoining structures by
firewalls with all openings therein protected by approved fire doors
Cabinet - correct answer ✔✔And enclosure that is designed for either surface mount or flush mounting
and is provided with a frame mat or trim and which a swingingdoor or doors are or can be hung
Circuit breaker - correct answer ✔✔Hey device designed to open and close a circuit by non-automatic
means and open the circuit automatically on a predetermined overcurrent without damage to itself
when properly applied within its rating
Concealed - correct answer ✔✔Rendered inaccessible by the structure or the finish of the building
Continuous duty - correct answer ✔✔Operation at a substantially constant load for ideffentially long
time
Continuous load - correct answer ✔✔A load were maximum current is expected to last 3 hours or more
Controller - correct answer ✔✔A device or group of devices that serves to govern, in some pre-
determined manner, the electric power delivered to the apparatus to which it is connected
Covered conductor - correct answer ✔✔A conductor encased within material of composition
Cutout box - correct answer ✔✔And enclosure designed for surface mounting that has swinging doors or
covers secured directly to and telescoping with the walls of the enclosure
