What you'll practise
Try a question
After a circuit breaker trips, what must happen before the circuit is turned back on?
- Reset it immediately to keep work going
- Reset it repeatedly until it stays on, since breakers sometimes trip for no reason
- Replace it with a larger breaker so it does not trip again
- Someone must determine that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized
Show the answer
D. Someone must determine that the equipment and circuit can be safely energized — After a protective device opens a circuit, it may not be manually reenergized until it is determined the equipment and circuit can be safely energized; repeated manual reclosing is prohibited.
