This NEIEP 200 Final Review Study set consists of 73 comprehensive questions and
answers engineered to test an elevator apprentice's knowledge on elevator tools, rigging,
safety, and installation procedures. This critical exam preparation resource focuses heavily on
structural math calculations, rope configuration mechanics, and elevator counterweight safety
guidelines.
Below is a breakdown of core sample questions, technical descriptions, and mathematical formulas
directly evaluated in this study unit.
Core Exam Topics & High-Value Questions
1. Rigging & Wire Rope Mechanics
• Question: Which lay of wire rope has the strand wires in line with the rope axis?
o Answer: Regular Lay.
• Question: What type of core is generally used in elevator hoist rope construction?
o Answer: Fiber Core (provides flexibility and cushions the outer steel strands).
2. Elevators Safeties & Components
• Counterweight Safeties: Set to trip up to 10% higher than the car governor.
• Type C Safety: Utilizes an oil buffer between the car and safety planks.
• Terminal Motion Switch: Purpose is to automatically slow and stop the car near
terminal landings.
Math Formulas and Study Tips for Unit 200
Key focus areas for the final review include:
• Counterweight Calculation: \ (\text {Total Weight} = \text {Empty Car} + (\text
{Capacity} \times \ text {Percentage}) \).
• Study Focus: Master rigging, safety device types, and terminal motion switch functions.
