#13. Where the service drop is secured to the mast, a guy wire may be installed to support the mast and provide adequate mechanical strength to support the service drop_________ are not permitted to be attached to the service mast.

#14. Actual voltage is likely to be many times the 10,000 volts calculated, because extremely low (below normal) values were assumed for both resistance to ground and current. Most insulation systems, however, are not designed to withstand even 10,000 volts. Even if the insulation system does withstand a 10,000-volt surge, it is likely to be damaged and breakdown of the insulation system will result in sparking. The same situation would exist if the current surge were on the CATV cable or on a telephone line. The only difference would be the voltage involved, which would depend on the individual resistance to ground of the grounding electrodes. What will be the solution for this problem?

Optical fiber cables and conductors for operating devices, operation and motion control, power, signaling, fire alarm, lighting, heating, and air-conditioning circuits of 600 volts or less shall be permitted to be run in the same traveling cable or raceway system if all conductors are insulated for the maximum voltage applied to any conductor within the cables or raceway system and if all live parts of the equipment are insulated from ground for this maximum voltage. Such a traveling cable or raceway shall also be permitted to include shielded conductors and/or one or more coaxial cables, if such conductors are insulated for the maximum voltage applied to any conductor within the cable or raceway system. Conductors shall be permitted to be covered with suitable shielding for the following except.

#16. In an insulation resistance test, an applied voltage ranging from _____ for systems of 600 volts or less supplied from a source of constant potential, is applied across the insulation.

#17. Determine the minimum standard size of overcurrent protective device and the minimum standard conductor size for the following circuit: 25 amperes of continuous load 60°C overcurrent device terminal rating Type THWN conductors Four current-carrying copper conductors in a raceway

#22. If the service point is specified as “at the pole” by the utility, then the service-drop conductors are considered

#23. For a 3-phase, 4-wire delta system with the center of one leg grounded, there are two voltages to ground. For example, on a 240-volt system, two legs would each have 120 volts to ground and the third, or “high” leg, would have ______ volts to ground.
