IMSA Traffic Signal Inspector Chapter 1 -
Introduction
Ampacity - answer The maximum current, in amperes, that a conductor can carry
continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating.
Bonded (Bonding) - answer Connected to establish electrical continuity and
conductivity.
Bonding Jumper, Main - answer The connection between the grounded circuit
conductor and the equipment grounding conductor at the service.
Disconnecting Means - answer A device (or group) by which the conductors of a circuit
can be disconnected from their source.
Effective Ground-Fault Current Path - answer Intentionally constructed, low-impedance
path intended to carry current underground-fault conditions from the point of s ground-
fault in the system to the electrical supply source that facilitates the operation of the
overcurrent device(s) of ground fault detectors on high-impedance grounded systems.
Equipment - answer General term: fittings, devices, appliances, luminaries, apparatus,
machinery, ect. in connection with an electrical installation.
Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) - answer The conductive path(s) installed to
connect normally non-current carrying metal parts of equipment together and to the
system grounded conductor to the grounding electrode conductor, or both.
Grounded (grounding) - answerConnected to a ground or a conductive body that
extends to the ground connection.
Grounded Conductor - answerWhat is commonly referred to as the "neutral wire" the
NEC calls this the --------- conductor. Usually white in color.
Grounding Conductor - answerWhat is usually referred to as the "ground wire", the NEC
and CEC call the --------- conductor. This wire is usually green or bare.
Grounding Electrode - answerA conducting object through which a direct connection
with Earth is established.
