- The NEC requires that a ____________ means be provided for standby power systems. In the case of portable gen sets, this might be as simple as pulling out the plug on the extension cord that is plugged into the receptacle on the gen set. For permanently installed standby power generators, this might be on the gen set and/or separately provided inside or outside of the home.arrow_forwardHow many lighting branch circuits are provided in this dwelling? __________ a. What is the minimum load allowance for small-appliance circuits for dwellings? See NEC 220.52(A). __________ b. An individual 15-ampere branch circuit is run to the receptacle outlet behind the refrigerator instead of connecting it to one of the two 20-ampere small-appliance branch circuits that are required in kitchens. For this separate circuit, an additional 1500 volt-amperes (shall) (does not have to) be added to the load calculations for dwellings. (Circle the correct answer.)arrow_forward13.

- Question.arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardAs an Electrical Safety person, exposed wires should be recognized as a hazard.
