Electrical JATC Code Definitions Test
Questions and Verified Correct Answers
Ampacity answer - The maximum current in amprees that a conductor can carry continuously
under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating
Appliance 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 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 answer - Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction
Arc-fault circuit interrupter 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) 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) answer - Connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity
, Bonding jumper, equipment answer - The connection between two or more portions of
equipment grounding conductor
Bonding jumper, main answer - The connection between the grounded circuit conductor and
thr equipment grounding conductor At the service
Bonding jumper, system 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 answer - The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent device protecting
the circuit and the outlet
Building 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 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 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 answer - Rendered inaccessible by the structure or the finish of the building
Continuous duty answer - Operation at a substantially constant load for ideffentially long time
Continuous load answer - A load were maximum current is expected to last 3 hours or more
