Qus 1:- in class 1, division 1, location, transformer and capacitors containing a liquid

that will burn, shall be installed on

Ans:- NFPA Third Edition para

Qus 2:- In class 1, division 1, location, threaded rigid metal conduits and explosion
proof enclosure used threaded joins between the conduits and enclosures shall be
made up with at least.
Ans: - NFPA 70 NEC article 505.9(E) (1) or (E) (2).
Threading: All NPT threaded conduit and fittings referred to herein shall be
threaded with a National (American) Standard Pipe Taper (NPT) thread that
provides a taper of 1 in 16 (3 4-in. taper per foot). Conduit and fittings shall be made
wrench tight to prevent sparking when fault current flows through the conduit
system, and to ensure the explosion proof integrity of the conduit system where
applicable. Equipment provided with threaded entries for field wiring connections
shall be installed in accordance with 500.8(E) (1) or (E) (2). Threaded entries into
explosion proof equipment shall be made up with at least five threads fully engaged.

Qus 3:- In class 1, division 1, location, conduits seals shall be installed within.
Ans: - NFPA 70 NEC article 501.15(A) (1) through (A) (4). Factory-sealed
enclosures shall not be considered to serve as a seal for another adjacent explosion
proof enclosure that is required to have a conduit seal. Conduit seals shall be
installed within 450 mm (18 in.) from the enclosure. Only explosion proof unions,
couplings, reducers, elbows, capped elbows, and conduit bodies similar to L, T, and
Cross types that are not larger than the trade size of the conduit shall be permitted
between the sealing fitting and the explosion proof enclosure.

Qus 4:- In class 1, division 1, location pendent fixtures shall be suspended through
rigid metal conduit stems. Stems length should be
Ans:-

Qus 5:- What is the maximum depth of direct buried low voltage cable?

burial requirements for low voltage underground cable installation is 610 mm.
The maximum depth of burial requirements for low voltage cable could exceed up
to 760 mm.

Qus 6:- Incorrect duct bank?

Ans: - SAES-P-104 Paragraph 10.2
Incorrect Duct bank Concrete tiles shall be used
Correct Duct bank top layer of concrete mixed with red dye.

Qus 7:- For new 15 kV cable, while test, voltage should be.
Ans: - For new 15 kV cable, when tested the test voltage is 64 kV DC.
For new 15 kV cable, when tested with elbows, the test voltage is reduced from 64
kV to 53 kV DC.
Qus 8:- Minimum separation (above or below ground, between (a) power cable
operating at 1000 v or above and (b) power or control cables operating at less than
1000 v, shall
Ans: - SAES-P-104 Paragraph 14.3
Minimum separation (above or below ground) between a power cable operating at
1000 V or above, up to 34.5 kV, and a parallel or crossing power or control cable
operating at less than 1000 V, shall be 300 mm.

Qus 9: - Conductor shall not be bent radius less than.

Ans: - The maximum bending radius allowance is 8 time of Cable OD.

Qus 10:- A transformer containing 2000 gal (7571L) or more insulating oil should be

transformer to another Transformer 1 hour fire rated wall is required.
Building none rated 15.25 mtr 50.03281 feet from the building and from one
transformer to another transformer 9.1 mtr 29.85564 feet without fire rated wall.

Qus 11:- What is the minimum size of conductor required for?

(1) 600 V and below (Control)
(2) 600 V and below (Power)
Ans: - SAES-P-104 Paragraph 5.8 & 5.8.1 Table 1
600 V and below (Control) 2.5 mm² (14 AWG)
600 V and below (Power) 4.0 mm² (12 AWG)
