Question 32Electricity/Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
As shown in figures "E" and "F" of the pictured high voltage rack mounted circuit breaker, which figure represents the circuit breaker position when in the open or tripped position? Illustration EL-0167
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C.
Figure C represents the circuit breaker position when in the open or tripped position. This is because in the open or tripped position, the circuit breaker handle or lever is positioned perpendicular to the direction of the electrical current flow, which is the configuration shown in Figure C.
The other answer choices do not depict the open or tripped position of the circuit breaker. Figures A, B, and D show the circuit breaker in the closed or engaged position, where the handle or lever is aligned with the direction of current flow.
