Journeyman Electrician Practice Test 2022/2023 with 100% correct answers

Document Content and Description Below

Conductors with _____ marked on the insulation are NOT approved for use in a wet location. THHN conductors with THHN insulation are approved for use in dry and damp locations only and conductors w... ith THWN, THHW, and THW insulation are recognized for use in dry and wet locations. Given: A one-family dwelling unit with a demand load of 200 amperes is supplied with a 120/240 volt, single-phase, electrical system from the local utility company. What is the MINIMUM size aluminum THW conductors required for use as service-entrance conductors for this residence? 4/0 AWG one-family dwelling 120/240 volt, single-phase, service-entrance conductors to be sized at an ampacity of not less than 83% of the service rating. Therefore, 200 amperes x 83% = 166 amperes; size 4/0 AWG THW aluminum conductors with an allowable ampacity of 180 amperes should be selected for this dwelling. 00:35 01:15 Where a 150 kVA, single-phase transformer having a secondary voltage of 120/240 is installed at a multi-family dwelling, the full-load current rating, in amperes, of the secondary is _____. 625 amperes To find the full-load current rating of the single-phase transformer apply the single-phase current formula as shown:I = (150 kVA x 1000) / 240 volts = 15,000/240 = 625 amperes Which one of the following listed circuit breakers is NOT a standard ampere rating? 75 amperes the standard ampere ratings for fuses and circuit breakers. A circuit breaker with an ampere rating of 75 amperes is not a standard ampere rating. The MINIMUM length of free conductor to be left at each junction box for the purpose of splicing conductors, or making connections to illuminares or devices shall be _____ . 6 inches free conductor is to be left at each junction box for splices or the connection of luminaires or devices. The intent of this rule is to ensure enough conductor slack for the terminal connections or splices to be made easily. In general, overhead service-drop conductors shall NOT be smaller than _____. 8 AWG copper overhead service-drop conductors to be not smaller than 8 AWG copper or 6 AWG aluminum or copper-clad aluminum. Do not get service-drop conductors, the overhead conductors between the utility electric supply system and the service point, confused with the service-entrance conductors, the conductors from the service point from the utility company to the service disconnecting means. When a galvanized eye-bolt is to be used as the point of attachment for an electrical service, the NEC requires the eye-bolt to be installed NOT less than _____ above finished grade. 10 ft. provide adequate vertical clearance of the conductors and prevent physical damage to the conductors and prevent persons from making accidental contact with the conductors which may create a shock hazard or electrocution. In no case shall the point of attachment of the service-drop conductors to be less than 10 ft. above finished grade. Why is electrical continuity [Show More]
