Sample questions

  1. 01What is the purpose of a protective conductor continuity test?
    • ATo confirm the protective device will trip within 0.4 seconds
    • BTo measure the prospective fault current at the origin
    • CTo verify the integrity of the protective conductor
    • DTo verify insulation between live conductors and earth

    Why: Protective conductor continuity testing verifies that the protective conductor provides a continuous low resistance path.

  2. 02What is the maximum permissible resistance for the R1+R2 measurement on a ring final circuit?
    • AA fixed maximum of 1 ohm for all ring circuits
    • BNo more than 0.05 ohms in every case
    • CExactly half of the measured Ze value
    • DThe calculated design value

    Why: R1+R2 should not exceed the calculated design value based on cable length and CSA.

  3. 03What test current is typically used for continuity testing?
    • AAt least 200mA
    • BAny current
    • CExactly 1A
    • DLess than 10mA

    Why: Continuity testing should use a test current of at least 200mA to ensure good contact and accurate readings.
