  1. 100 amperes
  2. 60 amperes
  3. 30 amperes

G0B04:

Which of the following is a primary reason for not placing a gasoline-fueled generator inside an occupied area?

  1. Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning
  2. Danger of engine over torque
  3. Lack of oxygen for adequate combustion
  4. Lack of nitrogen for adequate combustion

G0B05:

Which of the following conditions will cause a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to disconnect the 120 or 240 Volt AC line power to a device?

  1. Current flowing from one or more of the voltage-carrying wires to the neutral wire
  2. Current flowing from one or more of the voltage-carrying wires directly to ground
  3. Overvoltage on the voltage-carrying wires
  4. All these choices are correct

G0B06:

Which of the following is covered by the National Electrical Code?

  1. Acceptable bandwidth limits
  2. Acceptable modulation limits
  3. Electrical safety inside the ham shack
  4. RF exposure limits of the human body

G0B07:

Which of these choices should be observed when climbing a tower using a safety belt or harness?

  1. Never lean back and rely on the belt alone to support your weight
  2. Confirm that the belt is rated for the weight of the climber and that it is within its allowable service life
  3. Ensure that all heavy tools are securely fastened to the belt D-ring
  4. All these choices are correct

G0B08:

What should be done by any person preparing to climb a tower that supports electrically powered devices?

  1. Notify the electric company that a person will be working on the tower
  2. Make sure all circuits that supply power to the tower are locked out and tagged
  3. Unground the base of the tower
  4. All these choices are correct

G0B09:

Which of the following is true of an emergency generator installation?

  1. The generator should be located in a well-ventilated area
  2. The generator must be insulated from ground
  3. Fuel should be stored near the generator for rapid refueling in case of an emergency
  4. All these choices are correct

G0B10:

Which of the following is a danger from lead-tin solder?

  1. Lead can contaminate food if hands are not washed carefully after handling the solder
  2. High voltages can cause lead-tin solder to disintegrate suddenly
  3. Tin in the solder can "cold flow," causing shorts in the circuit
  4. RF energy can convert the lead into a poisonous gas

G0B11:

Which of the following is good practice for lightning protection grounds?

  1. They must be bonded to all buried water and gas lines
  2. Bends in ground wires must be made as close as possible to a right angle
  3. Lightning grounds must be connected to all ungrounded wiring
  4. They must be bonded together with all other grounds

G0B12:

What is the purpose of a power supply interlock?

  1. To prevent unauthorized changes to the circuit that would void the manufacturer's warranty
  2. To shut down the unit if it becomes too hot
  3. To ensure that dangerous voltages are removed if the cabinet is opened
  4. To shut off the power supply if too much voltage is produced

G0B13:

What must you do when powering your house from an emergency generator?

  1. Disconnect the incoming utility power feed
  2. Insure that the generator is not grounded
  3. Insure that all lightning grounds are disconnected
  4. All these choices are correct

G0B14:

What precaution should you take whenever you adjust or repair an antenna?

  1. Ensure that you and the antenna structure are grounded
  2. Turn off the transmitter and disconnect the feed line
  3. Wear a radiation badge
  4. All these choices are correct
