NCII EIM Questions:

 Explain how grounding system can prevent someone from receiving an electric shock

 Grounding system has a lower resistance compared to the body. If there is a ground current,
the current will lead to the lower resistance, thereby preventing someone receiving shock.

 What do you mean by a wiring diagram in auxiliary device system?

 A diagram that shows the location and actual termination of the auxiliary devices.

 How do you protect the electrical system from lightning?

 By installing Transient Voltage surge Suppressors or Lightning arresters

 Explain why fuses and circuit breakers cannot be used solely to protect against overload?

 In a short circuit, the fuse elements burn open in just a fraction of a second. The higher the
values of fault current, the faster the fuse will react. In an overload situation, the fuse
elements can take many seconds or even minutes before thermal actions cause the fuse link
to melt open.

 What are the tools and equipment do you need in installing pipe supports and fittings?

 Welding Machines
 Electric Drill
 Electric Grinder

 GFCI outlet is use and installed in wet locations, or location that is exposed in water or
wetness.
 Identify the basic components of lightning protection system?

 Lightning Terminal
 Down Conductors
 Grounding rod

 As a safety measure, why is it not advisable to use water in extinguishing electrical fires?

 It is not advisable to use water because water is electrically conductive that may cause
electrocution to the user.

 What is the best move using power tools in the installation?

 Inspect and Test power tools if it is good or safe before using.

 Examples of fittings used in the installation of conduit?

 Lock nut
 Bushing
 Straight Connector
 Coupling
 Conduit strap

 What do you mean by “ENCLOSURE”?

 Enclosure simply means that a part where an electronic equipment or device that is
protected such as boxes, cabinet, etc. to prevent electrocution and make contacts to other
components.
