RME REVIEWER CHAPTER 20

1. When drilling into a steel I-beam, the most likely cause for breaking a drill
bit would be too much pressure on the bit.

2. To sharpen an electrician’s knife, you would use carborumdum stone.

3. The decimal equivalent of 3/16 is 0.1875”.

4. A fuse on a 20 A branch circuit has blown. The fuse is replaced with a 20 A


fuse and the fuse blows when the switch is turned on. The electrician should
check the circuit for a problem.

5. A fusestat is different than the ordinary plug fuse because a fusestat has
different size threads.

6. The total of the following numbers 8 5/8”, 6 ¼”, 7 3/16” and 5 ¼” is 27


5/16”.

7. Article 250 of the NEC refers to grounding.

8. A 3-ohm, a 6-ohm, a 9-ohm, and 12-ohm resistor are connected in series.


The resistor that will consume the most power is the 12-ohm.

9. Stranded wire should be twisted together tightly before being place


under a screw head.

10. Before using rubber gloves when working on high voltage equipment the
gloves should be tested to withstand the high voltage.

11. When conduit or tubing nipples having a maximum length not exceed
24” are installed between boxes they shall be permitted to be filled 60% of
its total cross-sectional area.

12. Service drop conductors not in excess of 600 V shall have a minimum
clearance of 15 feet over residential property and driveways, and those
commercial areas not subject to truck traffic.

13. In order to prevent a safety hazard an electrician should never strike a


hardened steel surface with a hardened steel hammer.

14. To determine if the raceway is truly vertical an electrician would use a


level.
15. Electricians should be familiar with the rules and regulations of their job
mainly to perform their duties properly.

16. Silver is used on electrical contacts to improve continuity.

17. The best way to lay out a 40 foot long straight line a floor is to use a
chalk line.

18. Listed ceiling (paddle) fans do not exceed 35 pounds in weight, with or
without accessories, shall be permitted to be supported by outlet boxes
identified for such use.

19. A 3-ohm, a 6-ohm, a 9-ohm, and 12-ohm resistor are connected in


parallel. Which resistor will consume the most power? 3-ohm.

20. Which of the following is the most important factor contributing to an


electrician’s safety on the job? Be alert at all times.

21. A one-quarter bend in a raceway is equivalent to an angle of 90


degrees.

22. 6-32 x 1” machine screws has the smallest diameter.

23. Saber saw is the best type of saw to use to cut a 3” diameter hole
through ½” plywood.

24. Galvanized conduit has finish exterior and interior of zinc.

25. Conductors shall be not be installed in locations where the operating


temperature will exceed that specified for the type of insulation used.

26. Voltage drop in a wire is a percentage of the applied voltage.

27. Electrical equipment shall be installed according to the local code


when more stringent than the N.E.C.

28. Is it permissible to install DC and AC and conductors in the same outlet


box? Yes, if insulated for the maximum voltage of any conductor.

29. A fixture that weighs more than 50 pounds shall be supported


independently of the outlet box.

30. To cut rigid conduit you should use hack saw and ream the ends.
31. A chain wrench can be used with one hand after the chain is around
the conduit, in confined places and close to walls, and for all sizes of
conduit.

32. If you need to know the provisions for the installation of stationary
storage batteries, you would refer to article 480 of the code.

33. The service conductors between the terminals of the service equipment
and a point usually outside the building, clear of building walls, where joined
by tap or splice to the service drop is called the service-entrance
conductors.

34. An overcurrent protective device with a circuit opening fusible part of


that is heated and severed by the passage of overcurrent through it is called
a fuse.

35. Tungsten-filament lamps can be used on AC and DC circuits.

36. Insulated nonmetallic boxes are made of polyvinyl chloride and


bakelite.

37. It shall be permissible to apply a demand factor of 75% to the


nameplate-rating load of four or more appliances fastened in place served by
the same feeder in a dwelling.

38. On a delta three-phase, 4-wire secondary, how many hot wires may use
the common neutral? 2.

39. The location of a wall receptacle outlet in the bathroom of a dwelling


shall be installed within 36” of outside edge of basin.

40. An AC ammeter or voltmeter is calibrated to read RMS values; this means


the meter is reading the effective value.

41. A corroded electrical connection increases the resistance at the


connection.

42. Concrete, brick or tile walls are considered as being grounded.

43. An autotransformer has one coil.

44. A stop switch is wired series in a motor circuit.

45. Electrical current is measured in terms of electrons passing a point


per second.
46. Luminaires in class III location that shall be exposed to physical damage
shall be protected by a suitable guard.

47. For over 600 V, nominal, the motor branch circuit conductors shall have
an ampacity not less than the current at which the motor overload
protective device is selected to trip.

48. System isolation equipment shall be listed for disconnection purposes.

49. Busways shall be permitted to be installed through walls or floors.

50. In general, busways shall be securely supported at intervals not


exceeding 1 500 mm.
