Definitions
A conducter having no covering or electrical insulation whatsoever.
What is a bare conducter?
This device is intended for the protection of personnel that functions to de-energize a circuit or portion thereof within an established period of time.
What is a GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter)?
This is the difference in potential between any two conductors
What is voltage?
This is the maximum current that a conductor can carry under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating.
What is Ampacity?
Connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity.
What is bonding? (bonded)
This household area requires ground fault protection even though it is inside, typically finshed with no A/C.
What is a garage?
A String of outdoor lights that is suspended between two points.
What is Festoon Lighting?
this device shall be installed such that at least 8 feet of length is in contact with the soil and provides the connection to earth.
What is a grounding electrode or rod electrode?
This classification of a conduit section allows an installer to use 60% of a conduit's fill rather than 40% of the conduit when running wire.
What is a nipple?
The overhead conductors between the serving utility and the service point.
What is a Service Drop?
This important electrical component shall be used to connect the equipment grounding conductor(s) and the service-disconnect enclosure to the grounded conductor within the enclosure for each service disconnect.
What is a Main Bonding Jumper?
The professional practice used when more than 3 current carrying conducters share a conduit.
what is derating?
Capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring certified professionals to take actions such as to use tools (other than keys), to climb over or under, to remove obstacles, or to resort to portable ladders, and so forth.
What is readily accessible?
A low impedence circuit capable of safely carrying the maximum ground-fault current likely to be imposed on it from any point on the wiring system where a ground fault occurs to the electrical supply source.
What is an Effective Ground-Fault Current Path?
The formula to calculate the wattage (power) used by device, fixture, or appliance
What is watts = volts x amps
