RCDD/TDMM Chapter 9) Power
Distribution 2025/2026 Exam All Answers
and Illustrations Given
AHJ - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Authority having jurisdiction
Alternate Current (ac) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A current flow that alternates
periodically (usually sinusoidal) in magnitude and direction
Apparent Power - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The product of the measured voltage and
measured amperage. Expressed in volt amperes
Arc Flash - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A short circuit through the air. When insulation
and isolation between electrified conductors is breached or can no longer
withstand the applied voltage, an arc flash occurs
AWG - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔American Wire Gauge; the greater the wire
diameter, the smaller the AWG value
Capacitance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1) The ability of an electronic component to
store electrical energy 2) The opposition to a change in voltage

1
,Delta - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The difference between two values, symbolized with
a triangle
Direct Current (dc) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Current flow that has a constant
direction. The letters dc are also used to generically refer to any constant
waveform or signal. (EG; a batter voltage of 3 volts direct current [3Vdc])
Frequency - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The number of cycles that a periodic signal
completes in a given time. If the unit of time is one second, the frequency is
stated in hertz (Hz). One Hz is equal to one cycle per second
Harmonics - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Multiples of the basic frequency of a sine wave
(eg the 3rd harmonic of 60 Hz power frequency is 180 Hz)
Impedance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The total opposition to ac flow, measured in
ohms.
Inductance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1) The property of an electric force field built
around a conductor when current flows through it. 2) The resistance to
change in current
ITE Power - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Information Technology Equipment Power; the
power consumed by ICT to manage, monitor, control, process, store, and

,route data within a data center, excluding all infrastructure technology
equipment
LOTO - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Lockout/ Tagout, a means to protect personnel
from the unexpected startup or re-energization of equipment by ensuring
that equipment remains completely off during routing maintenance and
repairs.
LVD - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Low voltage disconnect; a device that is used to
disconnect the battery at a preset voltage during battery discharge and
allow reconnection only when utility power has been restored. Called a 'no
volt release' in the UK
Noise - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Unwanted electrical signals that were induced onto
or superimposed upon the power line
PDU - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Power distribution unit; a device that has a
transformer, surge suppression, single point ground, panelboards, and
monitoring under a single enclosure
Phase difference - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The relationship in time between two
waveforms with the same frequency

3
, Phase configuration - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The number of phases and the type
of connection between the utility and the user
Power - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1) The rate of transfer or absorption of energy per
unit time into a system 2) The energy required to operate an electrical
device (EG: Motor, amplifier, transmitter)
Reactance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The opposition to the flow of ac current
caused by unductance and capacitance. Expressed in ohms.
Redundancy - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Providing secondary components that either
become instantly operational or are continuously operational so that the
failure of a primary component will not result in mission failure
Resistance - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A measure of opposition a material offers to
the flow of direct current. Measured in ohms.
RPP - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Remote Power Panel; a power distribution cabinet
downstream from a PDU or UPS, typically containing circuits or breakers,
without a transformer located near the load.
SDS - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Safety Data Sheet; a document prepared by the
manufacturer describing all known chemical, radiological, and other
