Answer 1

Source
Conductor
Load

Question 2

What does an open circuit refer to as

Answer 2

Electrons are unable to flow through a conductor to provide power

Question 3

What is a load?

Answer 3

A device that uses the electrical energy from a source to accomplish some useful purpose

Question 4

What is a short circuit?

Answer 4

A circuit that does not have a load or in which the load has been bypassed

Question 5

What is a fuse and what does it do?

Answer 5

A fuse is an intentionally weakened point in a circuit that burns open when current flow is excessive

Question 6

How are fuses connected?

Answer 6

In series with a load so the circuit will open if the current ratting is exceeded

Combination circuit type

Question 16

What is a parallel circuit?

Answer 16

Circuit that has multiple current paths to flow through

Question 17

What does the term in series mean?

Answer 17

Anything connected directly across two points of different potential is said to be in series

Question 18

Anything connected in series has what?

Answer 18

Current flow through it unless the resistance is sufficient to prevent it

Question 19

A worker should never do what when doing hot work?

Answer 19

Place himself in series

Question 20

What type of equipment is connected in series with the line?

Answer 20

Regulators
Reclosers
Sectionalizers
And switches

Question 21

What happens to the current flow when a device is connected further down the line

Answer 21

The current will pass through the device witch cause an increase of current flow through them

Question 22

If a certain amount of current flow is required for the circuit what must the voltage be?

Answer 22

The voltage must be high enough to maintain the proper current flow

Question 23

In a series circuit is the current high lower or is it the same through the whole circuit

Answer 23

The current is the same at any given point

Question 24

What must a transformer do to to maintain the amperage

Answer 24

Supply enough voltage

Question 25

What is voltage drop?

Answer 25

A certain amount of voltage to push current through a load with a given amount of resistance

Question 26

In a series circuit what will happen to the voltage as it comes across resistance.

Answer 26

The voltage will drop

Question 27

What must the voltage drops across all resistors equal ?

Answer 27

The voltage applied to the circuit

Question 28

Each section in the over all power system is considered having what?

Answer 28

Source Conductors And loads

Question 29

What type of circuit is power lines considered having? And why? But what is the layout of the system predominantly considered as?

Answer 29

Combination type circuit because of the equipment that is connected in series with the line Parallel

Question 30

Parallel circuits are considered to have their own source conductors and loads at what point are these sections divided it?

Answer 30

Where the voltage is transformed from one level to another

Question 31

When leaving the substation on a transmission line what type of circuit is used? And why

Answer 31

Parallel circuit and because each line has its own path to and from the substation of one transmission line goes down the protective equipment will disconnect it from the circuit.

Question 32

Sub transmission substations are what to the transmission line

Answer 32

Parallel

Question 33

At each point that the voltage changes a new blank can be viewed

Answer 33

Parallel circuit

Question 34

How can you find out that the entire layout is a parallel circuit

Answer 34

Point of utilization

Question 35

Circuits are also considered what type of circuit

Answer 35

Parallel circuit

Question 36

Each load Connected in a parallel circuit will have what to the applied voltage?

Answer 36

Voltage drop

Question 37

Each blank connect to a parallel circuit draws a certain amount of current

Answer 37

Device

Question 38

In a parallel circuit as a device is added to the line current flow through the conductors will decrease true or false

Answer 38

False the current will increase

Question 39

In order to properly size a line switch fuse what must you do?

Answer 39

Determine the current drawn by each load connected to he circuit The currents are added to find the overall current drawn by the circuit The sum is then rounded to the next available fuse size
