AC Theory Practice Exam Questions With
Correct Answers


In New Zealand, the standard distribution system has the neutral conductor connected to the

earth at the main switchboard on all low voltage installations. What name is given to this type of

system? - answer✔Multiple Earthed Neutral or MEN system.


State the test voltage used for carrying out an insulation resistance test on three-phase, 400V,

electrical equipment incorporating MIMS elements. - answer✔500 V d.c.


State the minimum permitted test result for the insulation resistance test on electrical equipment

without MIMS elements - answer✔1MΩ


State the permitted test result for an insulation resistance test for the electrical installation with

all the permanently-connected electrical equipment connected. - answer✔0.01MΩ


State the minimum permitted test result for the insulation resistance test on the electrical

equipment incorporating MIMS elements. - answer✔0.01MΩ


State ONE precaution that could be taken when using an insulation resistance tester, set on the

500V d.c. range, to carry out an insulation resistance test on electrical equipment containing

semi-conductor devices. - answer✔Bridge out between phase and neutral

why you would take this precaution on electrical equipment containing semi-conductor devices. -

answer✔The voltage of the test instrument may damage semi-conductor devices.


AS/NZS 3000 requires that a test voltage of 500V d.c. is used for an insulation resistance test of

a low voltage electrical installation. State ONE reason why the voltage is a d.c. voltage. -

answer✔Any ONE of:




● To ensure capacitive or inductive reactance does not influence the test

result.




● A constant maximum voltage is a more

stringent test than the momentary peaks of an a.c. waveform.

AS/NZS 3000 requires that a test voltage of 500V d.c. is used for an insulation resistance test of

a low voltage electrical installation. Explain why a voltage of 500V is applied. - answer✔To

stress the insulation at a voltage

above 325V a.c. (or peak a.c. voltage).

Tests have been carried out on a three-phase 400V, Class I, plug-in electrical appliance after it

has been repaired. The test results are as follows:

Earth continuity test - out of range




Insulation resistance test - Infinity




What type of fault is indicated by the test results? - answer✔Any ONE of:




● A high-resistance joint in the

protective earthing circuit.




● An open-circuit in the protective

earthing conductor.

State THREE actions that need to be taken to ensure the electrical appliance is safe to return to

service. Include acceptable test results in the answer. - answer✔● Repair faulty protective

earthing conductor circuit




● Conduct an earth continuity test To ensure the resistance is 1Ω or less

● Any ONE of:




● Conduct an insulation

resistance test. To ensure the insulation

resistance is 1MΩ or more.




● Conduct an earth leakage

test. To ensure that the leakage does not exceed 5 mA.


Define the term impedance as it applies to an a.c. circuit. - answer✔It is the total opposition in Ω

(ohms) to the current flow in an a.c. circuit.


Impedance is comprised of three components. State TWO of those components. - answer✔Any

TWO of:




● Resistance (R)




● Inductive reactance (Xl)
