** Runby for a 1:1 car hits the CWT buffer 4" below the top landing. The CWT runby
should be set at 18". How much should the ropes be shortened? - correct answer.
22" for 1:1.

(805)
** Working pressure on a Hydro is 400 PSI. What is the correct Relief Valve Setting? -
correct answer. 600 PSI Max. (805)
400 psi x 150% = 600 psi
** A contractor wants to raise the car speed from 100 FPM to 125 FPM. It currently has
a 12" sheave. What size sheave is required? - correct answer. 15"
(125 /100 = 1.25 1.25 x 12 = 15)
** There is slight arcing at the Brushes and Commutator. What actions must be taken? -
correct answer. None. (430)
, "Heavy arcing is due to light brush pressure. Mechanical wear indicates heavy brush
pressure.
** How much resistance is normally measured across a normally closed switch ? -
correct answer. 1.2 ohms or 1 to 2 ohms
** A car traveling in the hoistway always stops at the same point and blows a fuse. What

brake.
** A 300 Ohm resistor burns out. You don't have a 300 Ohm resistor to replace it. What
can you use to make up the resistor? - correct answer. 2 600 Ohms resistors in
Parallel. "The resistance is half of the highest rating in a parallel circuit.
3, 225 Ohm resistors in parallel equal 75 Ohms.
** A 480 VAC Step Down Transformer is connected to a 3 phase rectifier. What will the
output be? - correct answer. 320 VDC
480 - 33.33% = 320
