Q

Conductors have 3 or less

17
Q

Insulators are

A

Materials with 5 or more electrons

18
Q

Circuit breakers

A

Considered as time delayed devices

19
Q

Switches are wired

A

In series with load

20
Q

Transformers have two windings which are?

A

Primary(incoming voltage)
Secondary(outgoing voltage)

21
Q

Solenoid valves (electrically operated)
What type of thing?
Electromagnet coil lift plunger to open or close the valve

A

It is induction

22
Q

What are relays

A

Electromagnetism to operate switch and contacts

23
Q

Contactors are control heavier loads and are

A

Normally open or close

24
Q

Slippage is the difference

A

Between calculated and real speed

25
Split Phase Motor
Has run and start Start Winding determine direction of directions -disconnects 75% of the rated RPM
26
Symbols for contactors
Are shown de-energized (no power) Normally open
27
Contactors have what elements
Coil, contacts, mechanical linkage
28
Contactors start when
Coil is energize
29
Contractors are mostly used in residential AC and what
Heat pumps
30
What is the first step in troubleshooting a contractor?
Chocolate popper voltage You can also check the mechanical linkage
31
Motors are inductive
Heaters are resistive don’t like the number 
32
Current relays are only used on six metering devices so the pressures equalize is equal
Compressor is off and starting is easier under low head pressure
33
A start capacitor adds what to the system
Starting twerk 
34
The heat bump is a reversible AC unit
AC mode it absorbs heat from the inside space injected to the outside and heat pump, mold, absorbs heat from the outside and then rejects it into the inside. Space
35
Heat pump reversing valve determines indoor outdoor coil function and control from the thermostat. What are the four pipe connections?
Discharge inlet and suction outlet and two outlets changed from indoor to outdoor coils
36
Draw the cooling and heating on the heat pump visually 
37
In cooling mode, the indoor coil absorbs heat, and the outdoor coil reject heat
38
In heating mode and the heat pump, the outdoor coil, absorbs heat, and the indoor coil rejects heat
