If you are referring to a megohm meter, it is a test of the insulation properties of such things as
electric wiring, motor windings and high power antenna mounts.
We use a "megger" or "meg out" electrical wiring and equipment to see if it is shorted to ground or
the frame in any way.
The megger uses much higher voltages to check resistance than a normal Volt-ohm meter.
Minimum resistance is 1 Meg Ohm - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Know what a Megger is and
what it does

(1) A parallel connection. (2) A resistive element placed across the terminals of an armature to
bypass a portion of the current. (3) A flexible electrical conductor designed to conduct current
,around the mechanical joint between two conductors. (4) The resistive element (Usually of very low
resistance) used in parallel with a DC ammeter movement to bypass a calibrated portion of the total
circuit current. - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Shunt Overloads

The bridle hitch can consist of two,three, or four single hitches (fig. 3-22), used together to form a
bridle hitch for hoisting an object
A sling with two legs used to lift a 1,000 pound object will have 500 pounds of the load on each leg
when the sling angle is 90 degrees. The load stress on each leg increases as the angle decreases; and if
the sling angle was 30 degrees lifting the same 1,000 pound object, the load will be 1,000 pounds on
each leg. Try to keep all sling angles greater than 45 degrees; sling angles approaching 30 degrees are
considered extremely hazardous and must be avoided at all cost. - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔Bridal Hitch

Scaffolding should be tied to the structure using
#9 wire or tie-in devices. The first vertical tie
should be at the maximum height of 4 times the
narrowest base dimension. Additional ties are not
to exceed 26' vertically. Maximum horizontal
distance between ties is not to exceed 30'. - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Scaffolding, You have 32'

Note: We do not use wire smaller than #20 in travelling cables and #24 outside travelers.
Largest wires are feeders to Hoist /Pump motor
We always have 10 % spares
10% of 52 = 5.2
On a calculator Multiply the percent 10 by the number you have and ÷ by 100
10 X 52 ÷ 100 = 5.2 - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Pulling Spare Wires (Example) 10% of 52 Wires

Notes:(Pi) π is 3.1416 and 231 Cubic inches to the Gallon
Area:
Remember to ÷ 6" ÷ 2 = 3 to get Radius
Area = π∙ r²
Area = 3.1416 x 3 x 3 = 28.27 inches or 3.146 x 9 = 28.27
Volume
Multiple are times height to solve for Volume
V = A∙H
V = 28.27 x 300 (25" feet x 12" = 300)
V = 8481 Cubic Inches
Since we already know there are 231 cubic inches to the gallon
8481 ÷ 231 = 36.71 Gallons - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔PSI Formula and Gallons (Example)
How much oil to move a 6" jack 25'
