Basic Concepts
The flow of electrons is
Current
What type of circuit is one path?
Series
What measures low voltage
Voltmeter
What does PPE stand for?
Personal Protective Equipment
What pushes the electrons?
Voltage
What type of circuit has multiple paths?
Parallel
What measures amperage?
Amp clamp/ ammeter
Why is grounding important?
Provides a safe path for fault current
What is measured in Ohms?
Resistance
What happens if there is an open circuit?
Current will not flow
What protects transformers from being overloaded?
Fuses/ Breakers
What is the danger of touching energized lines?
Electrical shock/ electrocution
What allows flow?
Conductor
What is a short circuit?
Low resistance path
When do we use phasing sticks?
Test voltages and phasing
What should you always verify before working on a line?
The voltage/ make sure it is de-energized and grounded
What resists flow?
Insulators
What happens if a light bulb in a series circuit fails?
The rest of the circuit stops
When do we use a load break?
What is minimum approach distance based on?
Voltage level
