MECHANICS EXAM NEIEP (2025/2026) OVER 100 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS || 100% GUARANTEED PASS |VERIFIED UPDATED VERSION| Where should you point the fire extinguisher when putting out a fire? - CORRECT ANSAt the base of the fire A car with a "Selective Collective" controller is moving to the lobby to pick up a call. An up call is put in at the second floor. What happens? - CORRECT ANSCall is bypassed till the car is moving in the up direction. How is a Class 1 (yearly) buffer test performed? - CORRECT ANSAt slow speed and the buffer must return in 90 seconds. (555) (60 seconds is acceptable) (90 seconds is code) 5-year test (Class 5) is car at rated load and speed. Buffer must return in 90 seconds. CWT at rated speed and buffer must return in 90 seconds. What are the required amount of clips for Wedge Shackles and what is their spacing? - CORRECT ANSAt least 2, with the first being 4 times the diameter of the rope from the top of shackle. Second is 8 times the diameter of the rope from the first. On a Ward-Leonard circuit, the brake is set but the motor is trying to slip through the brake. What circuit is the issue? - CORRECT ANSSuicide circuit (425) A Hydro runs up with no load but does not run up with a full load. What is the issue? - CORRECT ANSThe relief valve is set too low (805) You are sent to restart an elevator that's been off for a long time. When the generator starts it trips the overload. Why? - CORRECT ANSDry sleeve bearing Runby for a 1:1 car hits the CWT buffer 4" below the top landing. The CWT runby should be set at 18". How much should the ropes be shortened? - CORRECT ANS22" for 1:1. For a 2:1 with the same issue is 44". You need to work on a freight door retiring cam. You LOTO the mainline disconnect but there is still power to the cam. What circuit is still hot? - CORRECT ANSMainline disconnect (535) The contractor requests that the vertical center of the Rack and Pinion hoist be moved. How is this accomplished? - CORRECT ANSAdjust Tie downs/Wall ties (805) Working pressure on a Hydro is 400 PSI. What is the correct Relief Valve Setting? - CORRECT ANS600 PSI Max. (805) 400 psi x 150% = 600 psi A contractor wants to raise the car speed from 100 FPM to 125 FPM. It currently has a 12" sheave. What size sheave is required? - CORRECT ANS15" (125 /100 = 1.25 1.25 x 12 = 15) There is slight arcing at the Brushes and Commutator. What actions must be taken? - CORRECT ANSNone. (430) "Heavy arcing is due to light brush pressure. Mechanical wear indicates heavy brush pressure. How much resistance is normally measured across a normally closed switch? - CORRECT ANS1.2 ohms or 1 to 2 ohms A car traveling in the hoistway always stops at the same point and blows a fuse. What is the problem? - CORRECT ANSTraveling cable has a cut or short An MOV burns out, you replace it but cannot read voltage or resistance. What should you do? - CORRECT ANSReplace it with a larger one (630) How many Strain Supports are required on a 350' raceway? - CORRECT ANS4 One for every 100' How is Stainless steel drilled out? - CORRECT ANSSlow speed and constant pressure (205) Car is loaded with 125% and sinks. Why? - CORRECT ANSSlipped through the brake. A 300 Ohm resistor burns out. You don't have a 300 Ohm resistor to replace it. What can you use to make up the resistor? - CORRECT ANS2 600 Ohms resistors in Parallel. "The resistance is half of the highest rating in a parallel circuit. 3, 225 Ohm resistors in parallel equal 75 Ohms. A 480 VAC Step Down Transformer is connected to a 3 phase rectifier. What will the output be? - CORRECT ANS320 VDC 480 - 33.33% = 320 If you find a broken or missing barricade, what do you do? - CORRECT ANSWrite up a formal inspection request. If a Dumbwaiter has 9 square feet in Area, 4 ' High and the rated Capacity is 13.9 lb/ft3, what is the total capacity? - CORRECT ANS500 lb/ft3. "The area of a Dumbwaiter is 9 sq' max and is 4' High. Multiply that by 13.9. 9x4 = 36. 36 x 13.9 = 500 What are the consequences of a misaligned Rack and Pinion hoist joint? - CORRECT ANSBroken Gear Teeth (850) Motor not aligned. You enter a Pit where toxic fumes are present. How do you proceed? - CORRECT ANSFollow proper procedures. "Confined Space entry procedures are now guided by OSHA for pit entry". When changing a 1:1 car rated at 600 FPM and 2000 lb capacity to a 2:1, what will the new ratings be? - CORRECT ANS300 FPM and 4000 lb capacity. "Halves the speed and doubles the capacity ". A "Vertical" platform lift has a clearance of 1". How much will it need to be moved to meet code? - CORRECT ANSDeduct 1/4". ( 3/4" ) is needed. A car weighs 2500 lbs with a capacity of 2500 lbs. The CWT is weighed at 40%. How much is the motor lifting at 100% load? - CORRECT ANS1500 lbs 2500 x .40 = 1000 lbs 2500 + 1000 = 3500 lbs = 1500 lbs When drilling a Jack Hole in sandy conditions, what type of drill rig is required? - CORRECT ANSRotary or Auger bit (805) Rotary = Compacted soil Percussion = Rocky conditions Percussion Rotary = Solid rock A customer does not want an Escape Hatch on his residential elevator. Under what conditions is this legal? - CORRECT ANSManual Operation must be provided (850) You wired the Down Direction and Final Limit switches. Now the car only runs up. What is the problem? - CORRECT ANSYou wired the Down Direction Limit wrong.
