Quiz Preview

A fundamental PROPERTY of subatomic particles

The FLOW of electrons or electric charges in a circuit

The OPPOSITION to the flow of electrons in a circuit

The POTENTIAL difference between two points in a circuit

The RATE of doing work; the PRODUCT of VOLTAGE and CURRENT in a circuit

The CAPACITY to do work

SAFETY is its top PRIORITY

Unit is watt (W)

Unit is watt-second (Ws); we buy it from MERALCO in kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Are achieved by the use of current transformers and solid-state circuitry that monitors the current and initiates tripping through a flux shunt trip when an overload or short circuit is present.

Achived through the use of a bimetal heated by the load current. because bimetals are responsive to the heat emitted by the current flow, they allow a long time delay on light overloads, yet they have a fast response on heavier overloads.

Its function is to combine, divide, and extinguish the arc drawn between opening breaker contacts.

It consists of specially shaped steel grids isolated from each other and supported by an insulating housing.

Offers ground fault protection and improved ground fault coordination capability.

A large single panel, frame or assembly of panels consisting of switches, overcurrent and other protective devices, busbars and usually metering instruments.

It is 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.

Switching device capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal condition, making currents at specified time, and/or breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions, such as short circuits.

An overcurrent protective device with circuit-opening fusible member, which is heated and severed by passage of overcurrent through it.

A panelboard where more than 10% of its branch-circuit breakers or fuses are rated 30 amperes or less and with provisions for neutral connections and contains no more than 42 overcurrent devices.

A panelboard which has no limits on the number of overcurrent devices.

Are used to transfer the load or source of power from one point to another. It is often used in connection with standby or emergency power supplies.

Form of general-use switch for isolating an electric circuit from the source of power

It is a device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another. It is frequently used, in electric power distribution, to step-up or step down the voltage and/or isolate one electric circuit to another.

The term "UPS" means

Provides basic power at midrange prices. In addition to protection against power failures, power sags and power surges, it also protects against brownouts and electrical line noise.

Is used as a low price solution for power failures, power sags and power surges. Utility power is provided during normal operation and passed through the equipment without being regulated by the UPS.

It is designed to provide complete power protection against all nine of the common power problems and use an inverter to create 100% new, clean regulated ac power for your systems.

Two primary components of a Generator

A device that, when interrupting currents in its current-limiting range, reduces the current flowing in the faulted circuit to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the device were replaced with a solid conductor tor having comparable impedance.

A manually operated device used in conjunction with a transfer switch to provide a means of directly connecting load conductors to a power source and of disconnecting thetransfer switch.

Constructed or protected so that exposure to the weather will not interfere with successful operation.

Constructed or protected so that exposure to a beatingrain will not result in the entrance of water under specified testconditions.

A generic term for a group of nonflammable synthetic chlorinated hydrocarbons used as electrical insulating media.

All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.

A device or group of devices that serves to govern, in some predetermined manner, the electric power delivered to the apparatus to which it is connected.

A contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of an attachment plug

An enclosed channel of metal or nonmetallic materials designed expressly for holding wires, cables, or busbars, with additional functions as permitted in this Code.

Any electric circuit that controls any other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.

Device intended for the protection of personnel that functions to de-energize a circuit orportion thereof within an established period of time when a current to ground exceeds the values established for a Class A device.

To facilitate pulling

Metal box with hinge & enclosure. House or fuse box

For lighting outlet and convenience outlet

Where cable ends

The SI unit equal to one joule per second or to the power represented by a current of one ampere flowing across a potential difference of one volt.

The SI unit of electric charge equal to the quantity of electricity transferred along the conductor by a current of one ampere in one second.

An amount of power especially the power required to operate an electrical device or appliance.

The energy per unit charge available for conversion from a chemical, mechanical or other form of energy into electrical energy or vice versa in a conversion devise as a battery, generator or a motor.
