1,- The residual current device:

a. Is a device featuring two triggering elements: a thermal one and an electromagnetic one.
b. Is a device that the neutral and the protective conductors are connected to.
c. Is the traditional protection element for detecting earthing faults and so protecting individuals.
d. the REBT standards require that a residual current device is installed in every domestic electric
installation.
2,- Which of the following types of damage cannot be caused by electric currents going through the
human body?

a. Death by ventricular fibrillation.

b. Death by asphyxia.
c. Asphyxia and heart attack
d. Electric-arc provoked direct burns owing .
3,- Mark the false statement (For overload and overcurrent protection purposes, the relays to be
used are...):
a. Thermal-type.
b. Electromagnetic-type
c. Overload magnetic-thermal-type
d. Residual current devices
4,- Which of the following statements about fuses is true?:
a. They offer very good protection against short-circuits.
b. They are very safe.
c. They are very cheap, taking into account the service offered.
d. All are true.
5,- Human body internal resistance basically depends :
a. On current's path through the body.
b. On skin's resistance.
c. On the individual's sex.
d. None.
6,- The factor with most influence upon the effects and damage provoked by electric accidents is:
a. Applied voltage.
b. Current frequency.
c. Human-body electric resistance.
d. None.
7,- Mark the false statement about fuses:
a. In a given application, a fuse can be replaced by a higher rated current one, so getting more
efficient protection.
b. When a single fuse gets burnt, the whole set must be replaced.
c. If a fuse gets burnt, it is necessary to replace it by any other featuring the same rated current.
d. None.
8,- In case of electric accident, the following rules are to be followed (please indicate the wrong
statement):
a. No touching the damaged person if they are under voltage.
b. To switch off power supplies as soon as possible.
c. To ask for external specialised assistance, e.g. ambulances,
d. Always to carry out the first assistance protocol, no matter if we don't know how to make it.
9,- The magnetic-thermal circuit breaker is
a. Is an automatic protection device that is frequently utilised instead of a fuse.
b. Is rated in miliamperes (mA).
c. Is the only device adequate for protecting persons in a residential building.
d. None
10,- REBT standards enforce a maximum earthing resistance of:
a. 800 O.
b. 20 O.

c. 1600 O.
d. None
