100

This is the electrical pressure that pushes electrons through a circuit

Voltage

100

How do you reverse a motor

Switch any of the leads 

100

This device replaces relay logic and controls industrial machines 

PLC

100

This machine component reduces friction between moving parts 

Bearing 

100

The fuel source of most maintenance technicians 

Coffee, red bull, white monster, nicotine, rage 

200

This is the flow of electrons through a conductor and is measured in amps 

Current (Amperage)
200

What is one leg of 480v

277

200

Pushbuttons, prox sensors, and switches are examples of this type of PLC device 

Input

200

This mechanical device changes speed and torque using gears 

Gear box 

200

The famous words you will hear over and over while you are working 

How much longer? or What's wrong with it? 

300

This opposes the flow of electrical current and is measured in ohms 

Resistance

300

How do you wire a motor

By following the diagram provided on the motor

300

The programming language that resembles electrical schematics (what we use in class)

Ladder Logic 

300

This actuator converts compressed air into linear motion 

Pneumatic cylinder 

300

What is Colton's first name?

Thomas 

500

This formula is used to calculate voltage, current, or resistance in a DC circuit

Ohms law (V = IxR)

500

This type of maintenance is performed on schedule to reduce equipment failures 

Preventive maintenance (PM)

500

Contactors, solenoids, and lights are exmples of this type of PLC device 

Outputs 

500

A pump is making a loud rattling sound, vibrating excessively, an has reduced flow. This condition is the most likely cause. 

Cavitation 

500

Which ear is Brett missing 

Left 

1000

This fault occurs when the path for current flow is broken, causing current to stop flowing

Open Circuit 

1000

When troubleshooting an electrical cabinet where is the first place you should check

In coming power 

1000

This technique prevents two opposing outputs, such as forward and reverse, from energizing simultaneously 

Interlocking 

1000

Excessive vibration, premature bearing failure, and coupling wear are common signs of this machine condition 

Misalignment 
1000

What is the math equations that describes why one leg of 480v is 277v 

Write it on the board 

480 divided by the square root of 3
