Q

How are refrigerant cylinders oriented when in storage or transporting?

A

-refrigerant cylinders should be stored and transported in the upright position to keep the pressure relief valve in contact with the vapor space.

Q

It is 20 feet to the top of the building parapet. What is the minimum length of the extension ladder used and how far from the base of the building should the ladder be positioned?

A

5 feet from building and 24 feet minimum length. Extension ladders should extend at least 3 feet above the landing surface.
Horizontal distance should be 1/4 the working length of the ladder which would be 5 feet or 5.25 feet using Pythagorean theorem.

Q

Customer says that every time the air conditioner is turned on, the 3A fuse in the low-voltage control circuit pops. You suspect the contactor in the outdoor unit is the problem, So you disconnect power to the outdoor unit and disconnect the low-voltage wires attached to the contactor. you set your meter to resistance and check the contactor coil. your meter reads 0.8 ohms. How many amp is the contactor drawing when the contactor is energized with 27 V?

A

E= I x R————27V= I x 0.8———-I= V/R——I= 27v/0.8ohms= 33.75 amps———-

Q

You have a spare contactor in your truck to replace the bad contactor in number 16 above. before you replace the bad contactor, you check the resistance in the new contactor coil to make sure it will not draw more than 3A or the fuse in the low voltage circuit will blow. What should the resistance of the new contactor coil measure so that the 3A fuse will not blow when the circuit is energized?

A

I= V/R—-to find resistance, rearrange formula——R= V/I
R= 27/3= 9 ohms (maximum)
