G0B07

Which of these choices should be observed when climbing a tower using a safety harness?

  1. A Always hold on to the tower with one hand
  2. B Confirm that the harness is rated for the weight of the climber and that it is within its allowable service life
  3. C Ensure that all heavy tools are securely fastened to the harness
  4. D All these choices are correct
G0B08

What should be done before climbing a tower that supports electrically powered devices?

  1. A Notify the electric company that a person will be working on the tower
  2. B Make sure all circuits that supply power to the tower are locked out and tagged
  3. C Unground the base of the tower
  4. D All these choices are correct
G0B09

Which of the following is true of an emergency generator installation?

  1. A The generator should be operated in a well-ventilated area
  2. B The generator must be insulated from ground

  4. D All these choices are correct
G0B10

Which of the following is a danger from lead-tin solder?

  1. A Lead can contaminate food if hands are not washed carefully after handling the solder
  2. B High voltages can cause lead-tin solder to disintegrate suddenly
  3. C Tin in the solder can "cold flow," causing shorts in the circuit
  4. D RF energy can convert the lead into a poisonous gas
G0B11

Which of the following is required for lightning protection ground rods?

  1. A They must be bonded to all buried water and gas lines
  2. B Bends in ground wires must be made as close as possible to a right angle

  4. D They must be bonded together with all other grounds
G0B12

What is the purpose of a power supply interlock?

  1. A To prevent unauthorized changes to the circuit that would void the manufacturer's warranty
  2. B To shut down the unit if it becomes too hot
  3. C To ensure that dangerous voltages are removed if the cabinet is opened
  4. D To shut off the power supply if too much voltage is produced
G0B13
