    Study Notes

    Prioritization of Quality, Safety, Waste, and Efficiency

    • Quality, Safety, Waste, and Efficiency should be prioritized in the following order: Safety, Quality, Efficiency, and Waste.

    3-Phase Motor Running in the Wrong Direction

    • If a 3-phase motor is running in the wrong direction, the steps to be taken are:
      • Check the motor wiring diagram to ensure correct connections.
      • Verify the motor rotation direction using a multimeter or other test equipment.
      • Correct the wiring connections to match the motor wiring diagram.

    Wiring a New Receptacle

    • The silver screw on a receptacle is for: Neutral wire.

    Troubleshooting a Standing Pilot Water Heater

    • If the pilot light on a standing pilot water heater won't stay lit, the possible cause is: Thermocouple.

    Series Resistance Calculation

    • 35 resistors of 15 ohms each connected in a series have a total resistance of: 525 ohms.

    Discrete Input Card vs. Analog Card

    • A discrete input card is used for digital signals, while an analog card is used for analog signals.

    Positive Displacement Pump Cavitation

    • If a positive displacement pump is cavitating, a high likely cause is: Air in the pump.

    3-Phase System Voltage Measurement

    • In a 480V 3-phase system, the meter reading from one leg to ground would be: 277V.

    Grease Fire Extinguisher

    • The best type of fire extinguisher to use for putting out a grease fire is: Baking soda.

    Automatically Operated Electrical Switch

    • An automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload is called: Circuit breaker.

    Painting a Room

    • The number of gallons of paint required to paint the walls of a 7'6" x 9' room with an 8' ceiling height is: ½ gallon.

    Neutral Wire Color

    • In a 100-220 volt three-wire circuit, the neutral wire is usually: White.

    Tubing Dimensions

    • Tubing with an outside diameter of 2" and a wall thickness of 1/16" has an inside diameter of: 1 ¾".

    Testing Elements on a Forced Air Electric Heater

    • The best way to test if the elements on a forced air electric heater work or come on properly is by using: Continuity tester.

    Thermocouple Operation

    • The thermocouple on a gas heater operates: Gas valve.

    Electrical Fire Extinguisher

    • The correct substance to use in putting out an electrical fire is: Co2 or Baking soda.
