What does the acronym EVSE stand for?
A) Electric Vehicle Service Equipment
B) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
C) Electric Vehicle System Electronics
D) Electric Vehicle Safety Equipment
Correct Answer: B) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
Rationale: EVSE is defined in NEC Article 100 as the equipment that conducts
energy from the premises wiring to the electric vehicle, which includes the power
block, pedestal, charging cables, wiring, and accessories necessary for energy transfer
.
,What is the primary purpose of a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) in
EVSE installations?
A) To prevent the EV battery from overcharging
B) To protect against electric shock by detecting ground faults
C) To reduce the voltage drop in the circuit
D) To increase the charging speed of the vehicle
Correct Answer: B) To protect against electric shock by detecting ground faults
Rationale: GFCI protection is critical for safety as it detects imbalances between the
hot and neutral conductors. If a fault is detected, it quickly interrupts the circuit to
prevent severe electric shock .
According to NEC Article 625, what is the minimum branch circuit size
required for a Level 2 EVSE with a 32-ampere current rating?
A) 32 A
B) 35 A
C) 40 A
D) 55 A
Correct Answer: C) 40 A
Rationale: NEC Article 625 requires that EVSE be considered a continuous load.
The branch circuit must be sized at 125% of the maximum load, so 32 A × 1.25 =
40 A .
What is the minimum arc flash rating for PPE when performing live voltage
testing on a high-capacity Level 2 EVSE?
A) 0 cal/cm²
B) 4 cal/cm²
,C) 40 cal/cm²
D) 100 cal/cm²
Correct Answer: C) 40 cal/cm²
Rationale: While EVSEs are often "dead front," working inside enclosures with
potential fault currents exceeding 10kA creates an arc flash hazard. Category 4
PPE, which is rated at 40 cal/cm², is often required for protection against arc flash
burns in commercial and residential installations .
What is the primary function of regenerative braking in an electric vehicle?
A) To reduce brake pad wear only
B) To capture kinetic energy and convert it into electrical energy to recharge
the battery
C) To apply the brakes automatically in an emergency
D) To increase the top speed of the vehicle
Correct Answer: B) To capture kinetic energy and convert it into electrical
energy to recharge the battery
Rationale: Regenerative braking allows the EV's motor to act as a generator,
converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then stored
back in the battery pack to increase efficiency and range .
What is the primary safety risk specific to Level 3 DC Fast Chargers (DCFC)
that differs from Level 2 AC chargers?
A) High amperage AC shock
B) High voltage DC stored in capacitors
C) Refrigerant leaks from cooling systems
D) Electromagnetic interference with pacemakers
, Correct Answer: B) High voltage DC stored in capacitors
Rationale: DCFC units contain high-voltage DC bus capacitors that remain charged
even after the AC supply is disconnected. EVITP training highlights the need to wait
for the "bleed-off" time or use a ground stick to discharge these capacitors before
servicing .
Which article of the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifically covers the
requirements for "Electric Vehicle Charging Systems"?
A) Article 250
B) Article 300
C) Article 625
D) Article 690
Correct Answer: C) Article 625
Rationale: Article 625 is the dedicated section within the NEC that provides the
specific requirements for the installation of electric vehicle charging systems and
equipment .
What does "NFPA 70E" primarily govern in the context of EVSE installation?
A) The color of the EVSE housing
B) Electrical safety in the workplace, including arc flash and shock protection
C) Wiring methods for parking lots
D) Utility metering standards
Correct Answer: B) Electrical safety in the workplace, including arc flash and
shock protection
Rationale: NFPA 70E is the standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. It
establishes safety procedures, boundary requirements, and PPE guidelines to protect
workers from electrical hazards like arc flash and shock .
