the unit of measurement for frequency
How many “hot” legs are in a three phase service?
3
Should there be any voltage between the neutral and the ground?
No
What 3 elements of electricity does every working circuit have?
Voltage
Current
Resistance
Conductor
simply a material made of an element that freely transfers electrons.
Insulator
a material that is made of an element that does not freely transfer electrons.
In order of tie-in, label and what colors are the wires used in a 3-phase service disconnect?
Neutral- White Ground- Green X - Black Y - Red Z - Blue
Ohms law is a collection of formulas that state the relationships among Voltage, Resistance, and also Power. The relationship is such that 1 ohm will maintain 1 amp of current at 1 volt.
True
When using a multi-meter, what setting do we use when measuring continuity of a cable?
Diode checker or Resistance
P
_____ (Power Pie Chart)
I I E
P= I E I= P/E E= P/I
V
_____
I I R
V= I R I= V/R R= V/I
