36. Electrical explosions directly into the face of a person working on or near energized
electrical equipment can and will cause serious injury or death. OSHA laws and NFPA
70E have strict safety requirements for working on electrical equipment. The basic rules
are to turn off the power before working on the equipment and to wear the proper type of
nonflammable clothing. To further provide safety for the worker, the National Electrical
Code has a requirement pertaining to arc-flash hazard warning. This requirement is
found in
a. 110.16 (A)
b. 220.1
of the NEC
C. 330.1
d. 410.5
A computer's power supply converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer. You are building a new computer. You are deciding which type of power supply to install.
Which of the following definitions BEST describes a valid type of power supply?
Correct Answer:
A single-rail power supply provides one rail (PCB trace). This provides the best safety for the computer by providing a single point of shutdown in the event of a short circuit.
Correct Answer:
A single-rail power supply provides one rail (PCB trace) used to always provide equal wattage to all devices attached to the power supply.
Correct Answer:
A dual-rail power supply provides separate rails (PCB traces) used to provide equal wattage to the devices attached to each rail.
Correct Answer:
A dual-rail power supply provides separate rails (PCB traces) used to balance the power load between multiple circuits, which prevents any one circuit from becoming overloaded.
After reduction, the current - caring capacity of a condenser is referred to as the___.
A. ambience b. Allowable ampacity c. ampacity d. ambient rating
