D. Wiring Methods and Materials.

1. For areas subject to vehicular traffic such as streets, highways, roads, alleys,
driveways and parking, the minimum cover (distance from the top surface of the
finished grade to the top surface of the buried conductor or raceway) shall not be
less than _________ mm / __________ inches?
2. Where conductors carrying alternating current are installed in metal enclosures or
metal raceways, all phase conductors, neutral and ground conductors shall be
bundled or group together to avoid ____________________ caused by skin
effect?
3. What is the minimum copper conductor size permitted by Code, comprising of
each phase, neutral and ground, to be connected in parallel or electrically joined
at both ends?
4. What are the other five (5) conditions required for the paralleled conductors of
each phase, neutral and ground?
a. _______________ d. _______________
b. _______________ e. _______________
c. _______________
5. Permanently installed solid dielectric conductors operated above 2kV are to have
ozone-resistant insulation and are required to be shielded with a grounded
metallic sheath.

Shielding is the application of a metallic tape or non-metallic semi-conducting

tape around the conductor surface, which will prevent _______________ from
forming and will reduce high-voltage stresses?
6. What is the minimum conductor size for a voltage rating of 35kV, at Meralco
distribution service voltage?
7. What is the minimum conductor size for a voltage rating of 24kV, at Veco
distribution service voltage?
8. What is trade name, insulation and outer covering (jacket) of type THHN
conductors?
9. What is trade name, insulation and outer covering (jacket) of type THWN
conductors?
10. Which one exhibits more physical and mechanical strength, IMC or RSC?

 11. Where practicable, dissimilar metals in contact anywhere in the system (e.g.
steel conduits, aluminum fittings) shall be avoided to eliminate the possibility of
_______________ action?
12. There shall not be more than the equivalent of _____ quarter bends, _____
degrees total, between pull points, e.g. conduit bodies and boxes (to reduce
pulling tension on conductors and helps ensure easy insertion or removal of
conductors during the later phases of construction?
13. What is the standard shipping length of IMC or RSC pipes in feet or in meters?
14. Rigid non-metallic PVC conduit pipes and fittings are NOT PERMITTED and
shall not be used on these conditions?

a. ___________________________________________________________
b. ___________________________________________________________
c. ___________________________________________________________
d. ___________________________________________________________
e. ___________________________________________________________
f. ___________________________________________________________

15. What is the Code definition of places of assembly? Give examples of places of
assembly.
16. Conductors shall be permitted to be tapped, without overcurrent protection at
the tap, to a feeder as long as it complies with the following conditions for taps
not over 7.5 meters long?

a. ___________________________________________________________
b. ___________________________________________________________
c. ___________________________________________________________

17. Where the Code specifies that one equipment shall be within sight of another
equipment, the specified equipment is to be visible from the other equipment, and
not more than __________ meters or __________ feet distant from the other?

18. For a straight-pull two-way pullbox, the length of the box shall not be less than
_____ times the trade diameter size of the largest conduit?

19. The sum of the cross-sectional area of all contained conductors at any cross
section of the wireway shall not exceed _____ % (percentage fill) of the interior
cross-sectional area of the wireway.

20. Derating factors for contained current carrying conductors inside wireway shall
only apply if the quantity of conductors exceeds _____.
