Best Answer

Any test equipment that your life may depend on when using it must first be tested before being used. These types of test equipment usually have internal apparatus that can verify that the equipment is working perfectly before it is used by personnel. Linesmen use this type of test equipment before working on primary voltage lines.

What is the national electric code?

The National Electrical Code is the recognised standard to which all electrical wiring and installations must adhere to. It is a requirement of selling a house that all wiring and equipment must feature this code to prove it has been correctly fitted.

Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?

Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.


Can HVAC duct passing through the electrical room as per the NEC code?

Obviously, an HVAC duct or pipe can pass through an electrical room, as described in the NEC. It cannot pass directly over or under panelboards, and elctrical equipment must be protected from condensation or drips form the pipe or duct.


What is meant by switch gears in electrical engineering?

To protect the system from faults the equipment used is known as switch gearAnswerSwitchgear is the generic name for transmission and distribution equipment designed control, disconnect, and protect an electrical system. Switchgear includes circuit breakers, fuses, and isolators (US term: disconnectors). As well as being used to control circuits by opening or closing those circuits, circuit breakers are designed to interruptand to close onto electrical faults so must incorporate means of extinguishing the arcing associated with such faults. Circuit breakers, therefore, have a essential role in responding to protection systems. Isolators are non-load breaking switches, designed to isolate equipment (including circuit breakers) from high voltages, so that the equipment can be maintained.
