The term 'direct contact ' would apply to a person touching:

A live conductor

A normally live terminal and earth at the same time

A neutral conductor and earth

A part that has become live due to an insulation failure

What is the maximum allowable length, with regards to fault loop impedance, for a 25mm² Cu 2C+E orange circular TPS cable if it was protected by a 100A type B circuit breaker?

53m

66m

99m

124m

An over current is:

A current occurring in an electrically sound circuit

An overload current or a short circuit current

The perspective short circuit current

The maximum demand current

When an electrical circuit is protected by an HRC fuse, the current carrying capacity of the cable must be de-rated by a factor of:

1.1

0.5

0.9

0.75

The maximum demand current must be:

Greater than or equal to the rating of the protective device

Less than or equal to the current rating of the protective device

Equal to the current carrying capacity of the cable

Greater than the the current carrying capacity of the cable

Will a circuit wired with 2.5mm cable with a current carrying capacity of 18 amps, connected to a load drawing 18 amps and protected by a HRC fuse comply with AS3000 wiring rules?

Yes

The current ensuring effective operation of a circuit breaker in conventional time is:

1.45 X In

1.6 X Iz

0.9 X Iz

1.45 X Iz

The nominal perspective short circuit current at the point of supply for a suburban residential area is:

6kA

10kA

25kA

30kA

What is the full load current of a three-phase supply transformer with ratings of 230/400 volts, 509 kVA and an impedance of 0.016 ohms(

72.1 amps

650 amps

721 amps

14, 375 amps

The term discrimination when applied to circuit protection means:

The fuse circuit breaker with the highest fault current rating should operate first

Circuit protection on the main switchboard should be the first to operate

The circuit protection should be able to discriminate between a short circuit to earth and a short circuit between active conductors

The circuit protective device closest to the fault or overcurrent should operate before any upstream devices
