1
A circuit breaker that uses SF
6
gas and is frequently used by European manufacturers employs the __________ method for arc extinguishing.
Stretching
Breaking
Blowing out
Enclosed contacts
2
In a thermal overload, temperature build-up occurs between the insulation and the conductor.
True
False
3
A trip unit is the circuit breaker's "intelligence", which trips the operating mechanism open in the event of an overcurrent condition.
True
False
4
The key to a circuit breaker's short circuit interrupting capability is its ability to extinguish an arc quickly.
True
False
5
Peak value sensing in an analog trip unit never causes false tripping and offers more accuracy than digital trip units.
True
False
6
Circuit breaker frames are usually constructed of bolted and welded metal or molded insulating material.
True
False
7
he current transformer of an electronic trip unit is used in each phase to monitor and __________ the current to the proper input level.
Increase
Decrease
Keep the same
8
Digital trip units look at selected discrete points on a curve and make a summation of those points. This helps reduce false tripping.
True
False
9
The two steps in the two-step stored energy mechanism are charging the closing spring (storing the energy) and releasing energy to close the breaker.
True
False
10
A circuit breaker that is bolted in and hard wired to the frame is known to be _____________. Power must be turned off to remove and replace the breaker.
Fixed Mounted
Removable
Drawout
Bolt-on
Plug-in
11
As a circuit breaker opens or closes, the moveable contact maintains its position, while the fixed contact makes or breaks the circuit.
True
False
12
The two types of trip units are _______________ and ____________.
Current transformer, electromechanical
Flux-transfer shunt, current transformer
Electronic, flux-transfer shunt
Electromechanical, electronic
13
A method for extinguishing arcs that moves the arc through an arc divider, splitting and cooling it is known as ____________.
Stretching
Breaking
Blowing out
Enclosed contacts
14
Circuit breakers are commonly used in loadcenters, panelboards, and switchboards.
True
False
15
Electromechanical trip units have increased accuracy, repeatability, and discrimination over electronic trip units.
True
False
16
Circuit breakers are only used in loadcenters, panelboards, and switchboards. They are never to mounted in separate enclosures.
True
False
17
Electromagnetic trip units are both temperature and harmonic insensitive.
True
False
18
Molded insulated frames are made from materials such as glass-polyester or thermoset composite resins.
True
False
19
Thermal magnetic trip units act to protect the circuit breaker itself.
True
False
20
The surge of amperage created during an electrical failing is called the __________.
Fault current
Ampere rating
Voltage surge
Interrupt rating
