When he reached the third rung of the ladder, he received an electrical shock that killed him. An investigation showed the grounding prong was missing from the extension cord attached to the drill. Also, the cord's green grounding wire was, at times, contacting the energized black wire. Because of this contact with the “hot” wire, the entire length of the ounding wire and the drill's frame became energized. The drill was not double-i 77- To avoid deadly incidents like this one, make sure at construction sites that GFCI's are used a. True b.

False | Questions 86 to 93 refer to data given below: Aworker from an electrical service company was changing bulbs in pole-mounted light fixtures in a shopping center parking lot. The procedure for installing the bulbs was as follows: The worker would park the truck near the first light pole. The truck was equipped with a roof mounted ladder. ‘The worker would extend the ladder high enough to change the bulb, and then drive to the next pole without lowering the ladder. After the worker replaced the first bulb, he got back in the truck and drove toward the next light pole. As the truck moved along, a steel cable attached to the top of the ladder contacted an | overhead powerline. The worker realized something was wrong, stopped the truck and stepped | onto the pavement while still holding onto the door of the truck. He was covered and surrounded by flames as the truck caught fire. Fire, police, and paramedic units arrived within five minutes. Utility workers arrived in about 10 minutes and de-energized the powerline. The victim burned to death at the scene, : = 186- Truck tires are good insulators. a. True b. False 87-_ The fire is triggered when the worker completed the path to ground for the current in the truck. a. True b. False 88- The current source in this accident is the electrostatic charges accumulated on the truck surface, which found a path to ground for discharge. a. True b. False 89- A safe distance must be maintained between ladders and overhead powerlines. OSHA requires a clearance of at least _ be maintained between aerial ladders and overhead powerlines of up to 50 KV. a, Sfeet b. 10 feet ©. 15 feet d. 20 feet 90- Moving a truck with the ladder is a dangerous practice.

True b. False Questions 94 to 100 refer to data given below: Five technicians were performing preventive maintenance on the electrical system of a railroad maintenance facility. One of the technicians was assigned to clean the lower compartment of an electrical cabinet using cleaning fluid in an aerosol can. But, he began to clean the upper compartment as well, The upper compartment was filled with live circuitry. When the cleaning spray contacted the live circuitry, a conductive path for the current was created. The current passed through the stream of fluid, into the technician's arm, and across his chest. The current caused a loud explosion. Co-workers found the victim with his clothes on fire. One worker put out the fire with an extinguisher and another pulled the victim away from the compartment with a plastic vacuum cleaner hose. The paramedics responded in five minutes. Although the victim survived the shock, he died 24 hours later because of the burns.
