ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC SAFETY

Module/SubCourse: SS0713 Edition: 7

1. You are troubleshooting a piece of electrical equipment,

and you notice you get a tingling sensation whenever you
touch the equipment. This could be an indication of what?

improper voltage
short in the equipment
nothing; this is a normal indication
improper grounding

2. Before you begin working on electrical/electronic

equipment, what is the first thing you should remove?

your jewelry
your coat
all fuses
your glasses

3. When a person experiences electrical shock, he often has

delayed effects of electrical shock. Which of the following
is a delayed action?

Loss of muscle coordination

ventricular fibrillation
blue color of skin
heart failure

4. Posting the safety SOP is the responsibility of the

safety NCOIC.
supervisor of the shop.
unit commander.
safety OIC.

5. Antennas mounted on a tactical vehicle should always be

tied down whenever the vehicle moves. This is to prevent

the antenna from breaking off.

 the antenna accidentally hitting personnel.
the antenna accidentally hitting a power line.
All of the above.

6. When working with a radio transmitter, you must be careful

of RF burn. When would this occur?

when RT is keyed and you are within 2 inches of the

antenna
when RT is unkeyed and you are within 12 inches of
antenna
any time you touch the antenna
when RT is unkeyed and you are within 2 inches of the
antenna

7. One of the hazards of battery charging is

Lead poisoning.
acid fumes and burns.
corrosion.
unventilated work area.

8. A safety board is centrally located in any work area inside a

building. It is used for what purpose?

to aid in removing personnel from equipment when being

electrically shocked
to pass the IG inspection
to aid in removing defective equipment from the work area
to satisfy the local commander's requirements

9. When measuring voltage or current in an electronic circuit,

you should use one hand while

keeping the other free or in your pocket.

steadying the equipment with the other.
holding the test equipment with the other.
holding the power switch with the other.

10. If 5 milliamperes causes an unpleasant sensation, how

many milliamperes must flow through the body to be
considered shock potential?

5
10
15
 any amount

11. The most common electronic hazard is electrical shock,

which is the result of

high current.
voltage and current.
high voltage.
All of the above.

12. You are working with equipment that has a standard 5-amp
fuse, and you need to replace it. What type of fuse would
you use?

5-amp slow-blow fuse

standard 5-amp fuse
any slow-blow fuse
any 5-amp fuse

13. The term "high voltage" refers to voltages above

200 volts.
300 volts.
400 volts.
500 volts.

14. How far should the antenna be erected from power lines?

minimum of twice the length of the antenna

minimum of four times the length of the antenna
minimum of three times the length of the antenna
No distance is specified; it depends on the height of
antenna.

15. The degree of shock depends upon dampness of the work

area as well as

the amount of current.

the amount of voltage.
the general health of the individual.
All of the above.

16. When you are in the field and speed is required to set up
equipment, what short cut can you take in grounding
equipment?
 Use WD-1 in place of a proper ground strap.
Do not use a short cut for grounding.
Do not drive ground rod the proper depth into the ground.
Use a shorter ground rod.

17. The final application of safety principles and practices is

the responsibility of

tbe battalion commander.

the chain of command.
the individual.
All of the above.

18. What is the killer in electricity?

frequency of voltage
resistance of the body
current flow through the body
voltage across the body

19. When an individual receives an electrical shock, what

pushes the current through the body?

ohms
amperes
watts
voltage

20. When using a switchboard mounted in a tactical vehicle,

what should be grounded?

Neither one; the switchboard is protected by the shelter.

vehicle only
switchboard only
vehicle and switchboard
