Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 120
The best tool ot tighten a rigid 1-inch conduit coupling ot a threaded conduit is/are.....
A. a monkey wrench
B. an adjustable wrench
C. adjustablepliers
D. a crescent wrench
CORRECT ANSWER
A. a Monkey Wrench
RATIONALE
A monkey wrench provides the necessary leverage and grip to effectively tighten rigid conduit
couplings, which are designed for secure, permanent connections. Adjustable pliers and crescent
wrenches lack the jaw design and torque capability for this specific task.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 120
Which si the best tool ot verify that equipment fastened ot a wal is parallel to the ground....
A . a level
B. a square
C. ruler
D. a laser
CORRECT ANSWER
A. a level
Page 2
, RATIONALE
A level uses a bubble in a liquid-filled tube to indicate whether a surface is horizontal (level) or
vertical (plumb) by showing when the bubble is centered between two calibration marks. This
principle makes it the precise instrument for verifying horizontal alignment of wall-mounted
equipment.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 120
Which one of the folowing hand tools has a handle, a shank, and a blade?
A. pliers
B. wrench
C. hammer
D. screwdriver
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Screwdriver
RATIONALE
A screwdriver is characterized by its handle for grip, a shank that connects the handle to the
working end, and a blade designed to engage with a screw's head. This distinct anatomical
structure differentiates it from tools like pliers, wrenches, or hammers, which have different
functional components.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 120
You are working inside a high voltage sub-station installing new equipment. What is the
best tool to verify the dimensions of the high voltage equipment room (125 ft x 75 ft, as
stated ni the engineering design)?
A. metallic measuring tape
B. wooden folding rule
C. 100-foot cloth measuring tape
D. Pacing
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Wooden folding ruler
Page 3
, RATIONALE
A wooden folding rule is the safest tool for measuring in a high-voltage environment as it is non-
conductive, preventing electrical hazards. This ensures accurate measurements without
compromising safety protocols.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 120
The best tool used to measure 15 feet of wire is a
A. slide rule
B. yard stick
C. measuring tape
D. Weight scale
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Yard stick
RATIONALE
A yardstick, measuring three feet, is the most practical tool for measuring a 15-foot length as it
requires fewer individual measurements than a slide rule or measuring tape and is designed for
linear measurement, unlike a weight scale. The key concept tested is the appropriate selection of a
measuring instrument for a given length based on practicality and precision.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 120
The best tool for measuring a very long conduit run is
A. A measuring wheel
B. A long tape measure
C. A measure pull string tape
D. Experience
CORRECT ANSWER
A. A measuring wheel
RATIONALE
A measuring wheel is the most accurate and efficient tool for measuring long, irregular distances
like conduit runs, as it allows for continuous measurement without the need for multiple tape
extensions. This method minimizes cumulative error and is more practical than a long tape measure
or a string-based system for extended lengths.
