What is an equipment ground wire?
An equipment ground wire is a safety feature in electrical systems that provides a path for safely redirecting electrical currents to the ground in the event of a fault or electrical surge. This helps prevent electric shocks and protects against fire hazards by ensuring that excess current is safely discharged.
Why is it importanr to ground static electric charges?
The basic idea is to carry off excess electric charges, before they become dangerous - to humans, or to electronic equipment, depending on the case.
What is a surge diverter and how does it works?
When a surge occur, it peaks at above the maximum supply voltage, like in the event of a lightning strike for instance. This can damage household appliances that are designed to operate at a certain AC supply voltage. So a surge diverter actually diverts excess voltages to ground to protect appliances.

What is the round prong on a cable for?
The round prong on a cable is typically used for grounding purposes. It helps to prevent electric shocks and protects sensitive electronic equipment from power surges by providing a path for excess electrical current to flow safely to the ground.
For what purpose is a gas discharge arrestor used?
A gas discharge arrestor is used to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes or voltage surges in power lines. It diverts excess voltage to the ground, preventing it from damaging the connected devices.
How often should you review your account for excess equipment?
You should review your account for excess computer equipment at least quarterly to ensure you are able to declare older assets as excess at the same time replacement equipment is ordered.
What happens if the excess equipment cannot be reutilized on the base?
You must submit an AF Form 3215 or designated local form to the BECO specifying the excess equipment. The BECO will either create an IPMS excess report in the database for reutilization screening or approve a direct turn in to DRMO of unserviceable equipment.
Who is responsible for funding the shipping of excess equipment?
The receiving agency.
What form do you use to identify excess equipment to the BECO?
AFMC Form 32
How to take care of electric equipment?
To take care of electric equipment, keep it away from excess moisture, and keep it away from extreme temperatures.
Who accounts for excess equipment until final disposition instructions are received?
The OWGM/EC
What does TMO require to ship excess computer equipment?
A DD Form 1149 with funding information
Once equipment has been identified as excess what should you do?
You must coordinate within your squadron for possible re-utilization to fulfill another system requirement
When should you use respiratory protective equipment?
You should use respiratory protective equipment when your work includes the possibility of being exposed to airborne concentrations of hazardous materials in excess of the exposure limit, or when required to do so by law, regulation, or the procedures at your workplace.
What are the causes of excess vibration in machinery?
Excess vibration in machinery can be caused by various factors such as unbalanced components, misalignment of parts, worn out bearings, loose fasteners, or improper installation. These issues can lead to increased wear and tear, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to the equipment if not addressed promptly. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help identify and mitigate these causes of excess vibration.
What type of things could I find at a Government Auction sale?
Government auction sales usually include items that the government is in excess of, such as office equipment, furniture and automobiles.
