Q

What means should you use to minimize the stroboscopic effect of fluorescent lamps that are operating on the three-phase ac circuits?

Study These Flashcards
A

Operate the lamps in different circuits on different phases

25
You have closed the circuit switch to a fluorescent lamp, when does the current start to flow between the lamps electrodes?
Immediately
26
In what way do fluorescent lamps produce light?
Invisible short wave radiation is produced by the discharge through the mercury vapor
27
Which of the following is a type of bulb finish available through the navy supply system?
Inside frosted Silver bowl Clear
28
Lamps rated at (a) what apx. Power are of the vacuum type because inert gas would have(b) hat effect on there luminous output?
50 | Decrease
29
What type of lighting fixtures are provided for illuminating crane and hoist areas?
Permanently installed flood lights
30
When door switches are connected in series or in parallel, in what location are lock-in devices installed?
On the outer door only in both series and parallel door switch circuits
31
The use of light traps to prevent a light from being shown topside is preferred over door switches when which of the following situations exists?
The possibility of exposing light from hatches on deck above the compartment
32
What material should you use to clean the reflector of a searchlight?
Standard navy brightwork polish
33
The mercury- xenon arc lamp starting current is landed by what component
The five parallel connected resistors
34
When the mercury-xenon arc searchlight is turned on what amount of voltage is supplied to the spark gap?
50,000 V
35
The safety switch of the 12in mercury- xenon searchlight has what total number of contacts
3
36
To increase the light intensity and range of a 12in search light a small amount of what element is added to the lamp by the manufacturer
Mercury
37
Which of the following is the primary use of the 12in incandescent searchlight
Signaling
38
What is the purpose of station marking lights
To identify the stores that are to be sent to a replenishment station
39
You are disposing if a low-pressure sodium lamp I’ve the side of the ship which of the following PPE must be worn
Eye protection, protective clothing, a face shield
40
You should use a few drops of ammonia in the rinse water when cleaning light fixtures for what reason
To remove the soap film
41
What undesirable effect results when fluorescent lamps are operated on AC circuits
A flicker that may cause a stroboscopic effect on rotating machinery
42
What is the purpose of the phosphor coating in fluorescent lamps?
To absorb the invisible short-wave radiant energy produced by the lamp and repeat it over a band of wavelengths visible to the eye
43
The number and type of regular permanent lighting fixtures installed in a compartment for general illumination is determined by what factors
Light, intensity
44
The Low pressure sodium lamp requires what amount of time to reach full brilliance
7-15min
45
You are looking at a lamp symbol and see a black dot inside the symbol. What does this symbol tell you about the lamp?
Gas filled
46
The starting gas used in low-pressure sodium lamps includes which of the following gases?
Argon Neon Xenon
47
You need to determine whether a 120V lighting fixture is energized by ac or dc. What means should you use to make this determination?
A glow lamp
48
When you operate a lamp at a higher than rated voltage what is the effect on the lamp life
Decrease
49
What type of base issued for incandescent lamps rated above 300W
Mogul
50
Medium base lamps are commonly used for what type of illumination
For general lighting on lamps rated at 300 watts or less
51
In incandescent lamps above 50W the inert gas allows the lamp to operate in which of the following ways?
Higher temp and efficiency
52
Why do you connect lighting transformer banks in a delta delta connection
If one of the transformers is damaged or fails the remaining two transformers will carry about 58% of the initial load
53
If a glow lamp is operated on alternating current, when, if ever, is light produced
During a portion of each half cycle
54
You can operate a fluorescent lamp rated at 120V at which if the following voltages without seriously effecting the operation or life of the lamp
130V
55
A vital lighting load receives its power from what total number of sources
Two
