the term backfeed refers to a condition whereby
- A.
The primary fuse, due to a defect does not blow during a short circuit
- B.
Another source energizes the supply line after the line had been de energized by the supply
- C.
The reversing of generator rotation causes a reverse in line polarity
- D.
The secondary terminals of a transformer remain energized after the secondary is disconnected from the line
Correct Answer(s)
A. The primary fuse, due to a defect does not blow during a short circuit
B. Another source energizes the supply line after the line had been de energized by the supplyExplanation
Backfeed refers to a condition where another source energizes the supply line after it has been de-energized by the main supply. In this case, the primary fuse does not blow during a short circuit due to a defect. This means that even though there is a fault in the circuit, the primary fuse fails to protect the system by interrupting the current flow. As a result, another source is able to energize the supply line and potentially cause further damage or safety hazards.Rate this question:

Rubber blankets should always be stored
- A.
Folded and tied
- B.
In a roll and never folded
- C.
Not rolled or folded
- D.
Rolled, folded, and tied.
Correct Answer
B. In a roll and never foldedExplanation
Rubber blankets should always be stored in a roll and never folded because folding can cause permanent creases and damage to the rubber material. Rolling the blankets helps to maintain their shape and integrity, preventing any potential issues that may arise from folding. Additionally, tying the rolled blankets ensures that they stay compact and organized, making them easier to store and retrieve when needed.Rate this question:

When working on a de energized line saftey grounds must be placed
- A.
Between the work location and any possible sources
- B.
As close as possibly on both sides of the work location
- C.
On the substation structure
- D.
At the substation and the end of the line
Correct Answer
B. As close as possibly on both sides of the work locationExplanation
When working on a de-energized line, safety grounds must be placed as close as possible on both sides of the work location. This is important because safety grounds provide a direct path for electrical current to flow in the event of an accidental energization, protecting workers from electric shock. By placing safety grounds as close as possible on both sides of the work location, the risk of current flowing through the work area and potentially causing harm to the workers is minimized.Rate this question:

When opening a lightning arrestor ground be sure to
- A.
Check the potential on the ground connection first
- B.
Provide a jumper to the ground
- C.
Remove the hot line connection first
- D.
Ground the hot line first
Correct Answer
A. Check the potential on the ground connection firstExplanation
Before opening a lightning arrestor ground, it is important to check the potential on the ground connection first. This is necessary to ensure that the ground is safe and does not pose any risk of electric shock. By checking the potential, one can determine if there is any residual voltage or electrical charge present in the ground connection. This step is crucial for the safety of the person opening the ground, as well as for the protection of the equipment and surrounding environment.Rate this question:

Fused cutouts are generally are of an expulsion typse this principle is
- A.
Expulsion of the arc due to the deionizing fibre line of tube
- B.
Interupting of an arc due to quick release of a fuse hider
- C.
Elongation of the arc in the tube until extinguishing
- D.
Expulsion of the arc due to explosive power in the fuse link.
Correct Answer
A. Expulsion of the arc due to the deionizing fibre line of tubeExplanation
Fused cutouts are generally of an expulsion type, which means that the arc is expelled or extinguished by the deionizing fiber line in the tube. The deionizing fiber line is designed to quickly remove the ionized particles and gases that form during the arc, effectively interrupting the flow of current and extinguishing the arc. This expulsion mechanism ensures the safe and efficient operation of the fused cutout by preventing the arc from causing further damage or hazards.Rate this question:
