Accessible (as applied to equipment) - (ANSWER)Admitting close approach; not guarded by
locked doors, elevation, or other effective means.
Accessible (as applied to wiring methods) - (ANSWER)Capable of being removed or exposed
without damaging the building structure or finish or not permanently closed in by the structure or
finish of the building.
Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible) - (ANSWER)Capable of being reached quickly for
operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to
actions such as to use tools, to climb over or remove obstacles, or to resort to portable ladders,
and so forth.
Adjustable speed drive - (ANSWER)Power conversion equipment that provides a means of
adjusting the speed of an electric motor.
Adjustable speed drive system - (ANSWER)A combination of an adjustable speed drive, its
associated motor(s), and auxiliary equipment.
Ampacity - (ANSWER)The maximum current, in amperes, that a conductor can carry
continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating.
Appliance - (ANSWER)Utilization equipment, generally other than industrial, that is normally
built in standardized sizes or types and is installed or connected as a unit to perform one or more
functions such as clothes washing, air-conditioning, food mixing, deep frying etc.
Approved - (ANSWER)Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) - (ANSWER)A device intended to provide protection from
the effects of arc faults by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by functioning to de-
energize the circuit when an arc fault is detected.
,Askarel - (ANSWER)A generic term for a group of nonflammable synthetic chlorinated
hydrocarbons used as electrical insulating media.
Associated Apparatus [as applied to Hazardous (Classified) Locations] - (ANSWER)Apparatus
in which circuits are not necessarily interest simply safe themselves but that affects the energy in
the intrinsically safe circuits and is relied on to maintain intrinsic safety. Such apparatus is one of
the following:
(1) electrical apparatus that has an alternative type of protection for use in the appropriate
hazardous parentheses (classified) location
(2) electrical apparatus not so protected that shall not be used within a hazardous (classified)
location
Associated nonicendive feild apparatus [as applied to hazardous (Classified) locations] -
(ANSWER)Apparatus in which the circuits are not necessarily nonincendive send of themselves
but that affect the energy in nonincendive field wiring circuits in our relied upon to maintain
non-incentive energy levels. Such apparatuses are one of the following:
(1) electrical apparatus that has an alternative type of protection for use in the appropriate
hazardous (classified) location
(2) electrical apparatus not so protected that shall not be used in a hazardous (classified) location
Attachment Plug (Plug Cap) (Plug) - (ANSWER)A device that, by insertion in a receptacle,
establishes a connection between the conductors of the attached flexible cord and the conductors
connected permanently to the receptacle.

urinal, a tub, a shower, a bidet, or similar plumbing fixtures.
Battery System - (ANSWER)Interconnected battery subsystems consisting of one or more
storage batteries and battery chargers, and can include inverters, converters, and associated
electrical equipment.
Bonded (Bonding) - (ANSWER)Connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity.
Bonding Conductor or Jumper - (ANSWER)A reliable conductor to ensure the required electrical
conductivity between metal parts required to be electrically connected.
Bonding Jumper, Equipment - (ANSWER)The connection between two or more portions of the
equipment grounding conductor.
Bonding Jumper, Main - (ANSWER)The connection between the grounded circuit conductor and
the equipment grounding conductor at the service.
Bonding Jumper, System - (ANSWER)The connection between the grounded circuit conductor
and the supply-side bonding jumper, or the equipment grounding conductor, or both, at a
separately derived system.
Branch Circuit - (ANSWER)The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent device
protecting the circuit and the outlet(s).
Branch Circuit, Appliance - (ANSWER)A branch circuit that supplies energy to one or more
outlets to which appliances are to be connected and that has no permanently connected
luminaires that are not a part of an appliance.
