100

Define a SSOLR.

What is an electronic device that provides overload protection for electrical equipment.

100
Describe the two types open and closed circuit transitions.
What is closed circuit transition is a method of reduced-voltage starting in which the motor being controlled is NEVER removed from the source of voltage while moving from one to another. (V)


What is open circuit transition is a method in which the motor being controlled may be disconnected temporarily from the source of voltage while moving from one to another. (V)

100

What is the most common method of matching motor speed to the needs to the equipment or machinery?

What is to change the frequency coming to the motor in the AFD.

100

Explain friction braking.

What is braking force dependent on motor speed. Doesn't require operational power source, braking energy is dissipated as heat.

100

Zero on (DMM) would indicate what?

What is a good fuse.

200

How is an SSOLR mounted in the enclosure?

What is standalone mounting, starter mounting, and DIN-rail.

200

Describe an autotransformer reduced-voltage starters.

What is used on reciprocating compressors, grinding mills, pumps, and similar devices.
200

What is fluting?

What is parasitic or stray voltages, and electrical discharge machining of the bearing races, typically in the form of parallel grooves.

200

What is AFD?

What is adjustable frequency drive.

200

Ammeter is used to measure what?

What is amperage?
300

Two types of SSOLRs, what are they?

What is programmable SSOLR, and nonprogrammable SSOLR.

300

Define NCTO.

What is Normally Closed Timed Open.

300

What is slip?

What is the speed difference between the synchronous speed and the base speed. Induction motors develop their torque due to slip.
300

What is fail-safe?

What is a holding brake, and advantage of friction brakes over any others, is cost.

300

When measuring a relay coil/contactor what reading is bad?

What is zero ohms reading means a shorted coil, infinite resistance indicates an open coil.

400
What is an off delay relay?

What is an off-delay relay provides the time delay after the relay is de-energized.

400

Two types of motor connections, what are they?

What is wye start, and delta run.

400

What is a constant torque load? Give 2 examples.

What is speed independent , friction type loads, such as hoists, conveyors, printing press, wood chipper, positive displacement pump, and extruders. 

400

Describe BR.

What is a braking relay

400

Contacts that are open when the contactor/relay is energized are called?

What is normally closed contacts.

500

Two types of relays used with base, what are they?

What is 8-pin, and 11-pin relays.

500

What type of loads are soft-start? Choose two.

What is conveyors, compressors, and pumps.

500

List the six properties off a nameplate? 

What is voltage, frequency, base speed, current, service factor, and power factor.

500

Describe DC injection braking.

What is braking force is independent of motor speed. Requires a source of DC power.
500

What does IGBT stand for?

What is insulated gate bipolar transistor.
