200

This grounding system limits ground fault current

What is High Resistance Grounding (HRG)

200

This cooling method uses low outdoor air temperatures to reduce or eliminate chiller operation.

What is free cooling

200

This workstation provides fire system monitoring and control

What is FPWS

200

This redundancy model supports full load with one additional component

What is N+1

200

What is the purpose of a Task Hazard Analysis/Job Hazard Analysis?

300

This device transfers load between normal and emergency power

What is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

300

This cooling process lowers air temperature by evaporating water into the airstream.

What is evaporative cooling

300

This system detects smoke through air sampling

What is VESDA

300
This term describes the percentage of time systems are operating

What is availability

300

A critical safety control where the reader verbalizes each step and the performer confirms and executes it to prevent error.

What is the reader performer routine and how does it work?

400

This equipment distributes power closer to the IT load

What is a PDU or RPP

400

This type of cooling relies on compressors, refrigerant, and electrical power to remove heat.

500

This procedure prevents unexpected energization during maintenance

What it Lockout / Tagout (LOTO)

500

This unit uses compressors and refrigerant to remove heat from data hall air and maintain temperature when chilled water is not used.
