IMSA Traffic Signal Inspector Introduction
questions with correct answers
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 under ground-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) - Answer Connected to a ground or a conductive body that extends to the ground connection.
Grounded Conductor - Answer What is commonly referred to as the "neutral wire"
the NEC calls this the --------- conductor. Usually white in color.
Grounding Conductor - Answer What is usually referred to as the "ground wire", the NEC and CEC call the --------- conductor. This wire is usually green or bare.
Grounding Electrode - Answer A conducting object through which a direct connection with Earth is established.
Hand hole enclosure - Answer An enclosure for use in underground systems, with an open or closed bottom, allowing workers to reach into, but not enter for the purpose of access to wiring systems.
Location, Damp - Answer Locations protected from weather and not subject to saturation with water or moisture, but subject to moderate degrees of moisture.
Location, Dry - Answer Location not normally subject to wetness. May be temporarily subjected, but not usually.
Location, Wet - Answer Installations underground or in concrete slabs, or masonry in direct contact with earth in locations subject to saturation with water or
other liquids.
Service - Answer The conductors and equipment for delivering electric energy from the serving utility to the wiring system of the premises served.
