Front

What is the range of percentage at which ANL fuses blow?

Back

130 to 200 percent

Front

What is the purpose of the green wire in the electrical system?

Back

To connect the DC negative ground block to the AC safety ground bus

Front

What protects individual AC circuits in a marine distribution panel?

Back

Circuit breakers

Front

True or False: A dedicated inverter sub-panel helps prevent overloading circuits.

Back

True

Front

Which device prevents electric shock by detecting current leaks to ground in an AC system?

Back

Residual Current Device (RCD)

Front

Define ANL fuses.

Back

ANL fuses are high-current fuses used in automotive and marine applications to protect electrical circuits.

Front

What is the function of a circuit breaker?

Back

A circuit breaker automatically interrupts the flow of electricity in a circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit.

Front

Explain the role of a Residual Current Device (RCD).

Back

An RCD monitors the electrical current and disconnects the circuit if it detects an imbalance, preventing electric shock.

Front

What is the significance of grounding in electrical systems?

Back

Grounding provides a safe path for excess electricity to flow into the earth, reducing the risk of electric shock and equipment damage.

Front

What is the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?

Back

A fuse is a one-time protective device that melts to break the circuit, while a circuit breaker can be reset after tripping.
