Metal barrier assembly
None of the above

10.) The rotary arc technology is not effective over as wide a range of short circuit currents and
voltages as the puffer technology.
True
False

11.) Which enclosure assembly method does not necessarily separate compartments within the
switchgear by metal barriers, and is common among low voltage equipment?
Metal-clad assembly
Metal-enclosed assembly
Metal barrier assembly
None of the above

a defective line or apparatus and dangerous or undesirable system conditions is called a
______________.
Arc extinguisher
Protective relay
Vacuum interrupter
None of the above

14.) The puffer extinguishing method is far less complicated than the rotary arc method.
True
