MIDTERM EXAM

I Identify the following lighting terms: (3 points each)

Thermal Radiation 1) The release of electromagnetic radiation from a hot body due to its high temperature.

Tungsten Filament 2) Part of a lamp that consists of a wire with a very high melting point.

Lumen Depreciation 3) Term given to the definition of how light output decreases as lamp ages.

Efficacy 4) Term given to the light output per unit power input.

Color Rendering Index 5) Lamp characteristic that defines how light from the lamp affects the color
appearance of objects being illuminated.

Average Rated Life 6) Lamp characteristic that is expressed as rated average life in hours of operation.

Halogen 7) Term given to any of the five electronegative elements, fluorine, chlorine, iodine, bromine, or
astatine.

Translucent Diffuser 8) Type of lighting system whose upward component of distributed light is 40-60%.

Ballast 9) A transformer that steps AC line voltage down and frequency up for use by fluorescent and HID
lamps to achieve the necessary voltage, current and waveform for starting and operating the lamps.

Fluorescent lamp 10) High-efficiency lamps that produce visible light as a result of an interaction of the
ultraviolet energy they produce with the phosphor coating on the insides of their glass envelopes.

II Identify the following cables or cable assemblies: (3 points each)

Flat Conductor Cable 1) Cable that consists of three or more flat conductors placed edge to edge,
separated and enclosed within an insulating assembly.

Flat Cable Assemblies 2) Assembly of parallel conductors formed integrally with an insulating material web.
Armored Cable 3) Fabricated assembly of insulated conductors enclosed in flexible metal sheath.

Mineral Insulated Cable 4) Factory assembly of one or more conductors insulated with a highly compressed
refractory mineral insulation and enclosed in a liquid-tight and gas-tight continuous copper sheath.

Metal Clad Cable 5) Factory-assembled cable of one or more conductors, each individually insulated and
enclosed in a metallic sheath of interlocking tape, or a smooth or corrugated tube.

Nonmetallic Sheathed Cable 6) Assembly of two or more insulated conductors having an outer sheath that
is moisture resistant, flame-retardant and nonmetallic.

Direct Burial Telephone Cable 7) Cable used for underground works, including direct burial in the ground.

Service Entrance Cable 8) Single conductor or multi-conductor assembly provided with or without an
overall covering primarily used for services.

Medium Voltage Cable 9) Single or multi-conductor solid dielectric insulated cable rated 2001 volts or
higher and is used for power systems up to 35,000 volts.

Shielded Nonmetallic Sheathed Cable 10) Factory assembly of two or more insulated conductors in an
extruded core of moisture resistant and flame-retardant material, covered within an overlapping spiral metal
tape used in hazardous locations and in cable trays or in raceways.

III Identify the following wires and switches: (3 points each)

Double Pole, Single Throw 1) A pair of on-off switches that operate together, often used in mains electricity
since it is able to isolate both the live and the neutral connections.

Single Pole, Double Throw 2) A switch that can be ON in both positions, switching ON a separate device in
each case.

Single Pole, Single Throw 3) The simplest type of switch used to switch the power supply in a circuit.

Double Pole, Double Throw 4) A pair of on-on switches that operate together.
Push-Push Switch 5) A switch that looks like a momentary action push switch but is a standard on-off
switch.

Multi-Way Switch 6) Switches that have three or more conducting positions and may have several poles.

Tilt Switch 7) Switches that contain a conductive liquid and when tilted bridges the contacts inside, closing
the switch.

Toggle Switch 8) Switch where a tumbler, pull chain or a push button compact switch is mounted in the
canopy to control the lamps.

Four-way switch 9) Switches used to control an electric circuit from three points.

THW Wire 10) An interior house wiring wire that can operate at 75°C in dry or wet location.

Durex Wire 11) A building wire designed specifically for use as an internal 600 volts building wire installed
aboveground and in any location at maximum operating temperature of 60°C.

TW Wire 12) An interior house wiring wire that can operate at 60°C in dry or wet location.

TFN Wire 13) Used as a lighting fixture or interior appliance wire and comes in a
nylon jacket.

Intercom Cable 14) Used in intercom network systems at a maximum temperature of 60°C.

TF Wire 15) Used as a lighting fixture or interior appliance wire in circuits not exceeding 60°C
