1) There has been an accident and some one is hurt their heart is beating but they

have stopped breathing. The correct course of action will be

a) Report it to first aid
b) Phone for assistance
c) Apply CPR
d) Ignore them

2) There has been a chemical spillage into the warehourse. The department that
would deal with this is
a) RIDDOR
b) COSHH
c) EAWR
d) Control of dangerous chemicals and waste

3) The component part of an electrical system used to carry a supply in between

floors of a building is known as a
a) Vertical riser
b) Rising main
c) supply tails
d) busbar

4) A 1kW load is connected to a 230V supply at a power factor of 0.6 the supply
current will be
a) 4.34A
b) 7.24A
c) 230A
d) 1000A

5) In a star connected supply system the relationship between Line and Phase
voltages are
a) VL = VP x ?3
b) VL = VP ? ?3
c) VP = VL x ?3
d) VP = VL ? ?3
VL = VP x the square root of 3 or VP = VL divided by the square root of 3

6) On a 33Kv/ 400v star delta transformer the transformer earth will be connected
to
a) The transformer core
b) The star point c) To the delta connection
d) There will be no earth connection

7) A transformer has a input power of 10kVA and a power factor 0f 0.8 if the
losses are 490 Watts the overall efficiency is
a) 96%
b) 93%
c) 95.1%
d) 90%
I'm assuming that the power factor is a red herring, if the manufacturer has
stated 10kvA as the input power then surely they would be aware of its reactive
component and assuming it is for a 50Hz supply they would now its pf and the
stated 10kvA would be after the power factor is taken into consideration

c) P = V Cos �
I
d) P = I Sin �
V
